The Dunkin’ Donuts across the street from the store has notoriously bad service. They are frequently understaffed, and those who do show up to work are either crazy or incompetent. Witness “Gacy”, who earned his nickname because the crazy driving-a-scooter-into-work bastard frequently has quite violent arguments with himself and paces behind his cash register on the gas station side of the store like a caged jungle cat.

So it was to my great surprise when I saw him exit the store on my first day back from my two days off with a flower lai around his neck. I was like, “what’s crazy Gacy up to now?”

Apparently this weekend was “Customer Appreciation” weekend though. This is gigantic joke, since the service there is probably the worst you’ll ever find anywhere. That and they had a Hawaiian party theme going on (what does that have to do with customer appreciation?). I guess what happened was that their District Manager showed up for a visit, so they wanted to show that they weren’t the tremendous fuck-ups all of Manchester knows them to be.

The best part about this though was that they had one of the staff dressed up in a giant coffee cup outfit with a grass skirt on, waving at people driving down 7A. This is all happening not 20-30 yards away from the store. I had to look away from the window, because every time I looked out I started giggling uncontrollably. What really got me was when people stopped to talk to it. Oh man, I lost it.
