I gotta give the Seabrook DD employees some props. One morning, their electricity went out and they were running on a generator -- no cash register with the easy buttons. There was only a slight backup at the drive thru, and one smart girl was actually tallying the orders with paper and a calculator! And they still had smiles on their faces and apologies on their lips for the "wait". Generally it's hit or miss, though, on accuracy and politeness with these places.

The worst day fishing is better than the best day working. ...Wait a minute, my work IS fishing. Sweet.

What urks me and happens all the time, I am sure it has happen to you is when they leave the coffee on their side of the counter near the edge, you pay for it and they don't have the courtesy to slide it to your side.
I said once, "well you going to give it to me".
Morons to the nth degree.

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

Thumbs up Starbucks?

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

i hate thieves

Thieving DD employees

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.
