Sounds so familar... I dont go to Double D's much, but some nights when I'm headed to the boat i do stop for a coffee for the ride...
I posted this story elsewhere awhile back, but the above incident brough back the memory...
I was on the way down to my boat for a night of bass fishing, I stopped for a coffe at a DD on my way, after waiting in line for what seemed like an eternity ( I have the pateints of an oyster) I get my turn, the young blond with about 20 piercings asks what I would like... so, I say medium BLACK coffee... she replies... CREAM AND SUGAR? she then says just cream... I say "no black please" she makes the coffee and hands it to me... having been through this before, I pop the lid... yup... cream and sugar... so I tell her (not so politely) that I just want a BLACK coffee... she smiles all nice and says "some people like cream and sugar you know" in the mean time, the janitor that was mopping the floor(at least 20' away) sets down his mop, walks over and gets me a BLACK medium coffee....
Pretty bad when a janitor wearing a head set listening to an I-pod can hear/understand your order better than the person you are speaking too!
As TDF said... all I wanted was a cup of coffee!

You're better off just brewing your own.
You get better service, better quality, and you can hav it when YOU want it.
I don't drink a lot of coffee, but I'll brew it at home and bring it to work, and save myself the time, money and aggrevation.
I agree, there should be 2 lines.
1 for all those stupid combo coffee drinks and 1 for just coffee.

I can just see the cashiers at DD when BigFish pulls up. "Look, there he is, the big guy who turns purple....Watch this..."

 Boy it's a good thing they don't serve beer at DD. Now that would cause a few nutties when they screw up a cup o' beer.  I can just hear the gripes - too much head - too warm - too flat - not a full cup etc. etc etc ...............

Did anyone read the article in the Globe about the coffee service in Washington? State of that is.. The various companies are showing a lot of flesh to entice their customers to buy from them. Some are actually serving coffee in bikinis..Clammer would be in heaven. Larry would have a caffeen tic for sure & raven would have his fix. And I think it should spread east!
