Okay, I have to admit that last paragraph "Which leads to the point of my thread." made me laugh.

I also am only screwing around and am enjoying a cranky mood today.

They stopped making the donuts in the stores right around the time the 'time to make the donuts' guy retired. There are regional DD bakeries and they truck the pre-made product there. I did an industrial tarde show for DD several years ago, and their standards have fallen quite sharply since then, with Freshness of product no longer being the signature selling point of their brand. I have no theories at all why, in my experience, DD workers are far, far stupider and surlier than other minimum wage employees.

A few years back I wrote a piece for "Bully Magazine" (which unfortunately no longer archives it, but I did find a bit of it excerted by some blogger. It was generically racist and its the only piece of mine Mock ever rejected. He said because it didn't fit any particular category but I think he thought it had a lot of cheap laughs in it. I thought it was hysterical and promptly sent it to Bully.

Here's what I was able to find:

"I don't think that could possibly be right, Twenty-two fifty."
"Yays, aw-hohn, yays, I pooge, I pooge botton wit de 'hote koeffee' picture and it come up tuh-WAYNE-ty two Fifty"
"But now, see that can't be right, see, because, well, twenty-two fifty for a cup of coffee, I think I'd have heard if Dunkin' Donuts was charging twenty-two fifty for a cup of coffee-"


My favorite Donut? Used to be French Cruller. Now it's Lemon Burst. And I hate the coffee. Luckily my home town of Salem Mass has many fine privately owned coffee shops and a Bagel shop run by some sort of Eastern Eurpoean mish mash who work like absolute dogs but seem unreasonably happy except recently they hired these two damn slavic retard girls who ought to be working across the street at DD where I only go when Bagel world is closed.
