Illiteracy Runs Rampant
So...I'm at Dunkin Donuts this morning for my morning pick-me-up and I'm waiting in line. This super genius in front of me orders a couple of coffees...some donuts for himself...a Happy Meal for his kid. So far so good right? Then he hands the cashier a credit card, which normally is OK, except today there's a big fucking sign on all 4 registers that says, in big black letters: "Credit machine is not working, CASH ONLY". Idiot reached OVER the sign to hand them his credit card.
CASHIER: The credit machine is broken. {shakes sign at him}.
IDIOT: Yeah, I know but I don't have the cash.
CASHIER: OK, but the credit machine is down. I can't run a credit.
IDIOT: Yeah, but I'm here every day {and my kid will have a hissy fit if he can't eat his jelly donut now}
CASHIER: Sir, you can go to the ATM down the street...
IDIOT: Yeah, but then I have to put my son in his car seat, drive down the road
ME {in my own head}: Nobody gives a fuck sir...the machine is down...get the fuck out of my way so I can get my stupid iced coffee and a donut!!!
IDIOT: Just give me an IOU...I'm here all the time
CASHIER: Fine...just go {fucking idiot}
Did I mention it's going to be over 100 degrees today. Sorry for dropping all the F-bombs on you so early in the morning but stupid people tend to affect my mood like that.

WTF? An IOU? You've got to be kidding me. Junior needs to deal with reality and dissappointment and his first lesson might as well be that his dad is a moron. The clerk should have set his crap aside and told him to go find an ATM machine. That takes some kahunas on the man's part too to request an IOU. This isn't the 1800s. Hope it cools off for you guys soon, I'd hate to see you featured on the national news for a heinous heat crime.
Fucking KIDDING ME?? An IOU?? If I was the Dunkin Donuts person I would have told him to go fuck himself. But then, I'm bitchy like that. I would NEVER in a million years ask a store for an IOU. I can't even imagine. If I was in line I might have smacked the guy in the back of the head.
I would have thrown the donuts at him.
I guess I'm a sucker because I would have just given the idiot the money so he could get the hell out of my way! -Kristen
I would have put the Jelly donut on the floor, stepped on it, then gave it to the guy and told him to have a nice day !!!! I then would have handed him a napkin for his kid when he throws the hissy fit..
That's just me though

Patience is a virtue. Getting that coffee and donut any faster would not significantly change your life in any way. Don't sweat the petty things.

What is it with you and patience? This isn't about patience...I'll stand in line all day for my coffee and just chat with people in line...this is about intolerance for stupid people. Even the usally friendly (although exhausted) Dunkin Donuts customer service people were pissed off. Ah well...that was last week.
