Um… sir, we sell coffee here…

Oh yes, boys and girls, it is time for another tale of my experiences in the “working world.” Todays episode of course takes place in none other than Dunkin Doughnuts.
It all started, in… well I guess November. I left subway (I miss it more than anything…
) and struggled to find work the entire time I was in high school. It seemed like everywhere I went, no one wanted me. It was extremely discouraging and I began to feel worthless and bum-like. I was forced to mooch and I hated it (I don’t know how people can do it!)
Anyways, weeks turned to months and a few jobs came and went, and finally I graduated from high school. Driving around I saw a sign at Dunkin Doughnuts and went in and applied, basically as a last resort (I honestly wasn’t holding my breath). Much to my suprise, I received a call for an interview a few days later. A second interview followed promptly, and then I started yesterday. To be perfectly honest, I was shocked at the entire thing. To go from making $0.00/hr doing nothing, to making $8.00/hr making coffee is a pretty good deal.
Now, that I’ve gotten that out of the way, let me ask you this… what is a fruity frenchmen in a sauna. Pretty strange, eh? Just one of the many orders I must memorize. I can only assume my old customers from subway who would complain about having mustard touching their pickles were bliss compared to this macabre new language I must learn. Oh well, for $8, I will learn.
As an aside… why is it that everything smells like coffee now?
