Couple of years ago I was taking my son to his football game, early on a Sunday, and I get, "We're out of donuts"

Apparently, the delivery was really late.

And no, they're not baked on-site any more, at least in these parts. " Baked Fresh every 4 hours, 24 hours a day" has gone the way of the do-do, it seems

Simple fix. Go to Starbucks. Aside from all the pricey Lattes and Cappacino drinks you can still get a good regular cup of coffee at a reasonable price. They take the time to make sure you get exactly what you want and in my experience are always courteous.

on a side note- went to DND's the other night and watched a girl behind the counter ring up 3 customers.. each tiem she hit the no-sale button on the register and took their $$ and gave them back the right change- of course at the end of the night, you know that drawr is going to be a few hunded bucks over if she was doing that off and on all day

Nebe,
I have and old buddy who bought two DD's and then went bigtime for three more in Bristol county. First thing he did is put very high tech cameras over and around the register. Needless to say he turns over employees all the time. He never pays unemployment though because of the film he has availale to take to the hearings. Cameras keep his losses to a minimum. Their are many funny stories around about order snafus especially at the drive ups.

Getting back to the addictive qualities...

I've been drinking coffee since I was 14 (I'm 27 now) and if you were to give me decaf in the morning and I somehow didn't notice, I'd be nauseus and have a headache by noon.

There's no question caffiene is physically additive. It's probably psychologically addictive as well. The way we buy it and especially when you make your own it has the same ritual style use like most drugs.

They say (an article in Nat'l Geo) that caffine is a 2-4 day residence time in your system... so if you stop drinking it you feel like ass for a few days then get better.. I stopped 2 winters ago; I got the flu (and didnt drink any coffee for 2 days) then got on a plane and went to Key West; had 1 cup thw whole time I was there, came back and didnt drink any for months; till the season started again.....

Thanks Pete. I was reading the posts about some shops adding some mysterious drug to thier coffee, and I'm sittin' here thinkin', "...but coffee already HAS a powerfull drug in it. That's why we drink it!"
If anyone doubts that caffein is a powerfull drug, try going without it. The symptoms that yopu describe Pete are full blown withdrawal symptoms.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. Employers in Massacusetts pay the same amount of unemployment tax whether an employee collects or not. The tax is based on the number of employees hired, not whether any given employee collects.
