I haven't had a Dunkin' Donut in a very long time.
Since before drive-thru windows were invented.
Forty years? Maybe more.
I was on a route earlier this week, and lo and behold! There sits a Dunkin' Donut! With a parking lot roomy enough to sit and fill in my questionnaire from my recently completed shop! OMG! I'm in HEAVEN! I mean, really, this is the girl who used to get a DOZEN Dunkin' Donuts on the way home from work -- and turn around and go back and get a SECOND DOZEN so hubby wouldn't know I ate the first dozen!!!!
If you arrived at just the right time, you could make your choice amid the aromas of fresh from the oven donuts -- so warm the chocolate icing hasn't set, and would run down your chin as you chomped at the warm, gooey chunks of wonderfulness.
First thing I noticed about this Dunkin -- no display cases where you could linger as you make your oh-so-carefully deliberated choices! And no donut aromas. No baking or frying fragrances. Not at olfactory experience to be had!!!!
The delicacies are now made elsewhere and DELIVERED -- yes, delivered! -- to your local Dunkin.
Crushed, I left without buying a donut.
Dunkin' needs a shopping program! So somebody can tell them this is a monumental mistake on their part! Bring back the EXPERIENCE! Bring back the sounds and smells of baking!!
Vent over..
