Is it me or do these poeple all expect tips on top of an overpriced usually made wrong cup of coffee.Everyday I get a large regular in the morning.Not the way I like it but makes it harder for them to mess up.Then I give them the cash and they hand back change like the 96cents should be going in the tip jar.Tip jar my arse.A tip for what ? Call me cheap and really I am but I can't see giving tips to people at drivethru's anywhere.You ever tip the local guy at the hardware store for helping you find what you want.Nope they are always better than the DD drive thru crew.I don't give them a tip ever.They all look at me like I should and I get aggravated some more and drive away.Stress in the morning over a damn tip at the drivethru everyday.

I once handed a girl money to pay at DD and she handed me back too much change. I just kept my hand out with the money sitting on it and said "you gave me the wrong change". She then proceeded to put even more money in my hand. I laughed and said no , you gave me too much the first time. She said , "Oh whatever" and closed the window on me.

I also played Pool everyday for almost 4 years at RI Billiards. I would play early in the morning when it first opened and so stopped at DD every morning. I always got a coffee and an apple fritter. The same girl waited on me every day. One day i pull up and order a coffee , cream no sugar and an Apple fritter. She says to me"We don't have Apple Critters". After a second to let it register , i said Oh , OK I'll have an Apple fritter , she said OK and got me one. I thought to my self , what a dummy. Being a little miffed i then told her she reminded me of Kelly Bundy. She smiled and blushed and stroked her hair and all giggly from what she perceived as a compliment about her looks , said "Oh thankyou!".

If this is "The LAST Straw" why are we still talking about it?

I don't go to DD anymore either. 3 times in a row this happened.

I go to the drive up. I ask for a Medium, Hot, Cream, No sugar, On the dark side. I get a cup of coffee milk. They couldn't make it any lighter if they just gave me a cup of milk.

I pulled around front, took the cup inside and said to the manager: "Look at this! This is on the dark side? Does that person understand English?" The manager's response was for me to "calm down". I handed her the cup and said "here you drink it. I'm done with Dunkin Donuts.

Now you guys know I'm on the road all day. Probably $30 a week in DD coffee. 50 weeks. $1500. They can go to hell. Fortunately I have found a lot of Starbucks popping up on the interstates and I love their coffee.

No boat, back in the suds.

A medium (grande) at Starbucks is $2.00. A medium at DD is $1.82.
You need to drive an Cadillac to afford the 18 cents???

yeah the big misconception of starbucks is that their coffee is expensive, their regular coffee isn't, it's the friggin' espresso drinks that are 3/4 milk anyway that cost $4

I agree.
I hated starbucks on principal for a long time, but truth be told:
they pay their employees decent wage and give the some benefits, and you get reasonably bright, people who can understand your order. Worth the $0.18 per cup for a consistent product. The one in Wakefield knows my order, fills my mug with bold, no room for cream, and I walk out under $2.0 0 since they drop 10cents off if you dont take a cup... Screw D&D

I came to the conclusion yesterday while standing in line to get a medium black, that for the most part D&D customers aint much better than the employees. As I'm standing behind two soccer moms ordering their Choco Moco Freakin Lattes who then wait until the coffees are in front of them to start scrounging their purse for "exact" change gabbing away about Christmas shopping. Pay with their exact change and then start scrounging for a tip to put in the jar on the counter and then ask if they have gift cards. They're told yes and then start a debate on who it would be a good gift for and how much they should spend on it. I turned around and left. Merry freakin Christmas. I went to Mary Lous.

I think the kid meant that you could talk to him at the window rather than through the speaker. Was probably not busy.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.

The other really distressing thing about Dunkin' is the styrofoam cups. They will still be in the land fill in 1000 years. That's a fact! Syrofoam just doesn't degrade quickly.

Starbucks uses paper cups that have a percentage of recycled material in them. The paper cups degrades in about 3 weeks.
