Interlude

Location: A Dunkin' Donuts drive-thru

Speaker: Hello! How can I help you?

Me: Hi. I'd like a medium hazelnut iced coffee with regular cream and no sugar.

Speaker: Ok, that's a medium hazelnut iced coffee with regular cream and extra-extra sugar.

Me: You've got everything right except the sugar--no sugar.

Speaker: Melt the sugar?

Me: Regular cream ONLY.

Ugh.

I despise drive-thrus.

It's sugar, sugar or sugar.

We used to do that a lot when I was working at drive thru. It slows down "drive time" but it may just get you a few extra cents.

Sounds like a prank to relieve drive-thru worker's boredom: funny for them, but not so funny for you.

Hope they got it right in the end.

Ha! I think 'ugh' when I hear flavored coffee. Sugar's a whole other deal.

They do love their sugar at dunkin. I have learned to be extra careful how I order.

Nothin sets the days tone incorrectly like a bad coffee experience!

You made me laugh. But in the end, you has achieved your goal.
