Coffee Conundrum

Here’s one for the books. Now usually my only gripe with Dunkin Donuts in the morning is the fact that every day I order the same thing – a large iced coffee, half regular/half decaf, skim milk and one Equal (I know slightly complicated but usually not a problem as I go to the same one every morning for four years now). However, at least once a week I’ll pull into the parking lot at work, take that first sip and find it’s hazelnut! The one flavor that literally makes me queasy. They couldn’t screw up with coconut? – That I could handle.

But this morning was something I NEVER encountered. I ordered my usual large iced and after I paid, the girl put down on the counter in front of me two coffees – a small and a medium. I looked at her like WTF. She informs me they ran out of large cups so she put it in two. Are you kidding me! How the hell was I supposed to drive to work with these two coffees, not to mention my little travel cup from home that I had been drinking from for the past half hour. Then I start to realize there is no way I’m going to be able to get out of my car, load up my work gear and carry TWO coffees into the building, while swiping my badge to get in. I literally stood there and stared at the two cups of pure stress staring me down in the coffee shop for two straight minutes. She looks at me and pulls away the small. “Did you just want the medium?” No, I paid for the large. (I’ll admit it, I’m cheap). So off I went, stomping my feet and bitching under my breath. Only to get in the car and realize – wow – who would have thought. I didn’t have enough cup holders in the front seat to handle it all.

Ugh. Thank God a co-worker pulled into the parking space beside me when I got to work this morning and helped me bring it all in.

The end.

Note to Dunkin Donuts girl – when you order a large iced with one Equal – you don’t necessarily need one Equal in the small one – nasty!!!
