America runs on BULLSHIT!

I went to Dunkin' Donuts today with the intention of purchasing two dozen donuts. I was going to bring them in to the office so that everyone could enjoy something fattening and glazed with their coffee, or street grade speed (or both! try it in a blender!)

I get to Dunkin' Donuts and wait on the line patiently. Someone behind me, a little more awake than I, approached the counter, looked this way and that, and said: "Do you have any donuts?"

An employee in a backwards baseball cap regarded him with little to no emotion and said, "No sir."

The man continued, "Well, do you plan on getting any?"

"We don't know sir."

Really? No donuts at Dunkin Donuts? That's like no coffee at Starbucks. No pizza at Pizza Hut. No ugly, v-neck shirts at American Apparel!

And it was all so very sad, looking at those empty metal trays, filled with tissue paper still dotted with dollops of chocolate frosting and kreme. Those unattractive bagels with nothing less healthy to stand beside them. Whoever came and wiped out Dunkin' took all of the krullers too... and really, who the fuck eats a kruller?

How could this happen? How could Dunkin Donuts let their guard down? My only guess is that they were too busy working on their coffee to keep an eye on their donuts.

  1. I swear there used to be one on the Upper East Side. Then again, I might have been hallucinating, as I'm prone to do when I cross 5th ave.

  2. There's one right next door to my apartment, and another three blocks away. There are certainly plenty of DDs to go around!
