Dunkin Donuts

Happens all the time. I got whacked like that in Olneyville. Most of the time they are smart enough to just give you the money so you dont call their manager and ge tthem fired. There is some serious bux in that gig if you thinks about it. You could make a weeks pay extra every day cash money

When I tend bar I make it a point to always repeat the bill back to the person; I.e. I'll say 9.00 and then when they hand a 20 over say 'out of 20' that way there is no confusion;
I try and stay out of DD as a rule once my medium ice coffee jumped to 2.11; now I only go when noone else is open

I agree rockhound, repeat what is given to you. You really need to blame the managers for ill-training their workers. When I first started out in retail as a youngster, my manager taught me how to take money, lay the bills across the drawer before giving back the change and how to actually count back the change without having to look at what the register says the change is. Dumb kids some of them are, but dumber managers.

Mac if you write that up on a piece of paper and send it to the main headquarters they WILL send you lots of free coupons...and you might even see a check for $10 too but that might be pushing it.

I once went through the Dunkin donuts drive through and bought about $5.50 in stuff. I hand her the $10 and she hands me back about $6.50 in change. I immediately know its wrong so without even bringing my hand back into the car i just show her the change and say that's not right. She looks at the six something change 9which is already $2 too much) and she then reaches into the register and starts giving me MORE money. I now know she can't count or make change si i say , no , you gave me too much. She says , oh that's OK , just keep it. I drive away!!?? I don't think kids all have to be rocket scientists but if you can't even make change correctly , you're in for a long difficult life!!

Yo Mac, next time buy 5 bucks in stuff and pay her in pennies...ooops all the pennies slipped out of my hand and over the counter.

[Raven]

they are on every 20 dollar bill.....you can write them down on coffee money

just so you have proof that bill (note) was just recently in your posession. after depositing 60 bucks in a bank of America in cash in a deposit envelope @ in their ATM i learned that trick............
because they ripped me off for the money and i'll never use them again.

This is why I hate going into stores period. Outfished is right, it's partly training. Think about the last time you bought something and your change was counted back to you properly and not dropped haphazardly in your hand, and on top of that YOU get attitude from the person on the other side of the counter. It is beyond me why a manager would let a kid or anyone get away with talking down to a customer. In most cases, the customer IS right. I don't even want to get started on the abuse of my food in supermarkets. "Look dude, I'm sorry yoiu ain't making enough to cover the cost of another dozen earrings and a new paintjob on the hair, but don't take it out on my food. I plan to eat it when I get home. You wanna slam dunk something go find a basketball court."
Even where tipping is appropriate, I have no problem rating the service I got and tipping accordingly. It's not rocket science. Deliver the product with a pleasant demeanor, on time, as requested, and stop back once in a while, smile, and see how I'm doing. If you expect 20% from me because you think just wearing an apron makes you a waitress, you're probably already down to 10%.

I work PT at a DD for money to support my boat. The girls up front in this area of New Hampshire are forbidden to even take tips. I know down in Mass they put cups out on the counter marked tips. Maybe they get paid less. I think the folks that run the 7 DD's in this area start off the help at 6.50 an hour with raises at 6 months. Since I drive a little truck a couple hours I started at $7.50. Keeps Social Security from jumping on my arse about making too much money since I'm early SS.

Speaking of Social Security - they are going to be out of money quickly. I'm 63 but have 2 kids under 18. When I put in for SS, the kids automatically got $571.00 apiece each month until 18 or 24 if still going to school. I get $1161.00 a month so I guess they split about that amount. I never expected that but it's the rules of Sociald Security. Go Figure.

DD is not worth the money they charge for thier coffee.
I think its way over priced for the quat ly of it

[seabass]

You are all so lame! The girl probaly made an honest mistake, I'm sure she isn't in the coffee pouring field in hopes of making manager someday, and she most likely needs to cash out or pay the balance. Secondly, if you don't want to tip, don't, but if you tried parting with fiftey cents every now and then, you'd find the service you recieved would be much better and they'd probaly not screw up your change !!!!

the werst thing about double d is when you order a iced coffee.they fill the cup to the top with ice and you end up with about a shot glass of coffee.
