I'm not alone!!!

I deal with this every damn morning!!!! First of all it's sad to even think that these Dunkin workers are the future of America. They always screw up my large regular ice and a donut, how hard is that?!!! It used to cost $2.98 and they would hand me the 2 cents expecting a larger tip!!! Needless to say I wouldn't even give the 2 cents. Then one day they raised the damn price to $ 3.25, now I know this was just to to help induce larger tips right. Well not here buddy, I purposely take my change because they expect it!!! I shouldn't get too upset though because I need someone to get my coffee!!!!!

They have another trick up there sleeves too. I called them on it twice. I order two number 2's and know how much it will cost, let's say $7.25. She looks at me and asks for $8.75. I hand her a 10 and step aside and double check my math. After I'm sure I got ripped off, I tell her that she charged me too much. She opens the drawer and hands me $2, no questions asked, almost like she wanted me to go away ASAP. She knew exactly what she was doing. I wonder how many people she does that to everyday.

My goal in life is to be the kind of man my dog thinks I am.

This one's fa Dave & Mike

I few years back I was in a rush to go fishin. It happen to be a full moon I just wanted to grab my coffee and go ASAP. I get to where you order, it takes her a while and she says "I'll be right with you". I'm waiting and waiting and waiting, man it seemed like forever, mean while this freakin B*&^%tch is yappin away with her freind who's in the car a head of me at the pick up window. Finally I just couldn't take it any longer. It had to have been at least 10-15 mintues.. seemed like forever. At this point my blood pressure is rising and I get a bit nervouse too, so I drove up real close to the car in front of me while shes still yappin away. Now I very F*&^in pissed. I started counting all the pennies, nickles, dimes and a couple qaurters if I remember correctly. I had as much change as possible. Finally after about 15 or 20 minutes the car drove off and I pulled up to the window. I swear to you.. I don't even know how I got the words out of my mouth but I did..... cause my head felt like it was gonna blow. I tell her "med regular"! when she put the coffee down, I wipped as hard as I could a handfull of change at the stainless steel counter and that chit flew every where I grabed the coffee and yelled as loud as I could....."YOU F@%&in B*&^tch, who the F do you think you are?" I'm pretty sure those where my exact words. I was so pissed I remember was gonna go inside a reem her a new a$$ because I worked for the owner at the time(after all that I problably would have lost my job for being a nutt case). I chilled out alot since then and avoid those kinda situations and I use a little more tack.

No Tip Policy

Mac:

The DD located in the Mobil station at Cobbs Corner has a no tip policy. The sign is on the register.

This is the only one I have seen like that. Too bad more places don't adopt this policy.

That shop is fine. This shop is on the corner of 138 and Central.
Well I went to see the manager again since she never called back. Guess what; she said the girls draw was short 41 cents So apparently the manager never intended to call me back either. I informed her that I was going to write a letter to her corporate headquarters which didn't seem to faze her either. I asked her what ever happened to " The customer is always right" ? To which I got no response.

Of course her drawer was only off by that much, cuz she pocketed your $10.
Supplementing her income.

I Hate Dunkin' Donuts so much I get angry just thinking about that place! On Cape Cod, as with most places I am sure, they become so F'ing crowded in the mornings that the traffic on the road in front becomes impassible. Then it's 20 minutes of waiting to get a cup of lousy coffee with a side of attitude.

Screw that place, I gave up coffee completely. You'd be amazed how much stress that relieves.

Well there's the problem right there. The management. I go to a Wendy's in Acton. Workers are polite.. hell.. friendly even. 9 times out of 10 the order is ready as I drive up to the window and I've never had a problem with a screwed up order or change. I'd write dd corp headquarters and tell them about the treatment you got from the manager.

Hey RR, When you mentioned (Brazilian) and seeing your location coordinates, we're practically neighbors. Viva Brazil
