Coffeeshop Encounters
Actual encounter I had the other day at Dunkin’ Donuts:
ACT I
Me: Hi, can I get two dozen donut holes please?
Her: Don’t you want 25? You get 25…
Me: Okay, fine.
Her: What kind? Mixed?
Me: Yep. [looking at the lineup] Actually, just glazed, powdered, chocolate, and…do you still have the cinnamon ones?
Her: No. We have [pointing to labels and speaking slowly and deliberately, as if I didn't speak donut] glazed……pow-dered……choc’-late……jelly-filled……and plaaaaain.
Me: Okay, then just the other three that I already told you.
ACT II
Me: [after paying, and surprised that they all fit into one box] There are two-dozen in here?
Her: No, 25.
Me: Oh, right…that’s what I meant. Feels light.
Her: You didn’t say that. You said two-dozen, but there are 25.
Me: Okay. Same thi—nevermind. Thanks.
ACT III
When I get down to school, I open up the box. There are 13.
THE AYND
Kind of reminds me of that scene in Dumb and Dumber:
Mary: So you’ll pick me up tonight at 7:45?
Harry: Well I got a few things to take care of. So how about we make it quarter to eight?
Mary: [laughs] Stop it…
Harry: Okay, 7:45.
Wow…was it sejway lady?
F-
Nice to have some male commentary on our blog. So far Dianna’s friends have dominated it with ’she’s so cute’ comments or my all time favorite ‘I love your new bangs’.
Let me guess…. it was the Dunkin Doughnuts on 53rd, right? My favorite.
Negative, but an excellent guess. It’s actually the one right by my place in the south loop…brand new.
Send an email at their (corporate) web site. A similar thing happened to me with Steak ‘n Shake in Normal. I got $25. in gift certificates, and reimbursed for the full meal, of which I only received a portion. I’ll get a few Takehomasacks out of that!
Seriously, Benjamin…do it. We could use some free coffee.
I want two donut holes as recompense if they give you something.
Yuck. Dunkin’ donuts? You need to get your hands on some Tim Horton’s. I can ship some down - $10/dozen. Trust me. It’s worth it.
Dude, I am a big fan of the Timmy H’s. Good call.
hahahaha!
there is a dunkin donie kiddie corner from the med school, and i know exactly what you are talking about.
god damn this was a funny post.
i’ll be coming home for two weeks on march 3rd. we have got to hang out and catch up if at all possible.
haha…
