Future Jay



So I go into Dunkin Donuts to get a coffee and this is how it goes more or less

Cash Register Girl: How may I help you, no the caramel double shot is over there!
Me: Large coffee a little bit of cream, no sugar.
CRG: No, you have to do those one first... sorry, what was your order?
Me: Large coffee a little bit of cream, no sugar.
CRG: The double shot is there! What size? no cream? I'm sorry
Me: I would like to jam a jelly donut in your fat face
CRG: No the hazelnut, the hazelnut... what was the order again?
Me: Large coffee a little bit of cream, no sugar.

CRG:  Ok, that will be $2:25.
Me: Thanks for the 10 minutes of my life I will never get back!

I step back to wait.  Old fat guy who looks like the Game of Thrones author picks up a bag of about 12 dozen donuts. Then one girl takes a coffee that was not hers causing a commotion and then a redo of the hazelnut double shot extra cream 3 sugars for the girl who had been patiently waiting.  Why the confusion?  When an order came up an employee w/ little mastery of English would emerge w/ a coffee say something no one could understand and then point at the cup so we could all use our Superman X-ray vision to examine the contents.  What did I get in Dunkin coffee roulette?  Large coffee 2 cream (as opposed to "a little bit") and no sugar so that was good.  Tough way to start my day.
