I'm retired military, so a cup of fresh hot coffee and donuts are a true GI treasure for me. There are times when I've had 3-day old reheated coffee. Times when the coffee was poured into an Igloo after it had Tang in it. Now there's a real treat. Coffee made from used grounds. Coffee in the rain, howling 60mph winds. Walk outside in the middle of a Monsoon thunderstorm with a cup of coffee in your hand and try to drink it. Enjoy! Coffee in paper cups that had been used half a dozen times - by different people 'cause you couldn't get your own cup. And you couldn't waste the water to rinse them out. "Sharesies", ya know. Or in the Middle East where it's 125 with the wind chill and there's no iced coffee. Oh, if you don't have bottled water, using local water can give you dysentery, depending on how long you've been on site and whether or not you've adjusted to conditions. Most times you were so exhausted that little bit of wake-me-up was the only thing that kept you functioning.
You can probably tell this cup of coffee is important to me. Here, it took five people ten minutes to serve me one cup of coffee and I stood there watching them the whole time make drink after drink after drink for others in the drive through while I patiently waited inside. Not hard to miss since I was the only person there. Not the first time, either. Repeat offenders. Thought about a confrontation, but I didn't, and don't, get the sense they give a bleep. Thought about the manager. Glad I didn't waste my time with that after checking other reviews. So, add me to the list. I've never put a stop watch on how long it takes me to pour my coffee at home, but I think I can get it done in under five seconds.....
Good grief, people. If they'd have done this to folks in the line, if you know what that is, an officer would have taken very large chunks out of their ***es.
Here's some advice. When someone orders a cup of coffee, pour the damn thing smartly and serve it immediately. A smile couldn't hurt. You never know what the person on the other side of the counter went through so you can have a safe job in Dunkin Donuts, Nogales, Arizona. read more
