I went by this morning, as it's only about 5-10 minutes delay in my half hour commute...it was insane. I just drove by Dunkinless.
Well I made the pilgrimage this morning, thought I'd be a nice guy and bring donuts to work.
what a cluster fuck! I get it, you just open, you're really busy.
That said I seriously think I could gather 12 random members of this forum and have the line moving 1000 times faster. I actually had to abandon my breakfast sandwich, which is the only reason I really wanted to go, because I was looking at another 15 minute wait just for that one item.
It's on the other side of town from me so I don't see going back anytime soon especially until they figure out their staffing issues
Just an XL Dunkin coffee for me....best coffee ever
Welcome to almost every dunkin donuts in the country...Quote:

while I do occasionally run into a slow DD, I find them to be fast and well run. I can walk into one with 15 people in front of me in line and be out in less than 5 minutes. The key to "good ones" is that one person never leaves the register. She takes the order, someone else makes the coffee (grabs muffins/donuts), someone else is making sandwiches. keeps the line movingQuote:

Then it takes them another 4 months to get good at their jobs, so they can chat with you about the weather while getting everyone served quickly with good food.
They are doing pretty well considering. They have a few heavy hitters that are moving things along.
I went yesterday, line was out to the parking lot. About an hour in line, got to the front and despite a warning that sandwiches were taking 25 minutes, we had everything in 5 including 2 sandwiches.
