I usually don't NEED coffee but today I was in a great mood and I wanted the morning to blow by so I stopped for a cup at Dunkin Donuts. I got a bagel too. The people behind the counter always have a hard time comprehending the orders and repeat their questions over and over about cream and sugar and toasted or not and cream cheese. I just shrugged it off as no big deal... until today. It's officially over. I gave Dunkin Donuts a chance and they blew it. I am NEVER going there again, EVER.

All I wanted was a black coffee. BLACK- meaning nothing in it. I even said "nothing in it - black" so that he would understand. He proceeded to ask me anyway if I wanted cream and sugar and I said "no - black." So, I pay, which is another issue entirely because it's always a different price. I've gone three times and gotten the same thing each time at different totals: $2.79, $2.34 and today $2.40. Hmmm? No matter - it's just a few cents, right. So, I settle in at my desk and pop open my coffee (I never drink it in the car because I'll spill and I can't drink it steaming hot). It's a funny color. I take a sip. It has cream in it! Not only do I despise cream but milk products in general make me physically ill. Great. Now I have no coffee and nothing to wash down this bagel that is getting cold. I HATE THAT MAN. He ruined my entire morning if not my entire day.

Dunkin Donuts is back in the shitter for me and, thanks to that worthless employee, my Friday is in the shitter, too. But, maybe that's the lack of coffee talking? Now I know how people who need a drug fix must feel - angry and ready to explode. Perhaps I should stay away from coffee altogether.
