1. She said "I dont usually make the latte". This should have given me a reason to pay more attention. My bad, right?
2. She put 6 full on pumps of mocha in the cup. I like my chocolate, but they were some really....full.....pumps.
3. She started the machine thingy they use, 3 times. I'm not sure, but I think that is what brews the coffee? Forgive my technical terms.
4. I laughed and said "Yesterday, I got one and it was weirdly cold." She took that as a challenge.
5. I got to the car and decided to take a sip before driving. GIANT mistake. It was so hot that I had to literally spit it down my front. Fortunately, I had on a sweater over my shirt. Thank God my instinct kicked in and I didnt try to swallow it. I flung open the cup, expecting to see lava. But, no. It was a (half full!) large to go cup with a lot of mocha...and no milk. Zilch. Zero. Nada. None. So, I basically poured hot liquid chocolate in my mouth. Delicious!
So now, I taste nothing. Try me. Really. Give me a pickle, and I'll guess it's styrofoam. Potato chips? Styrofoam. Rice cakes? Okay, okay. They always taste like styrofoam. But, you get the idea. I can taste nothing. My poor lips, tongue, and gums are this odd painful and blistered numb. Does that even make sense?
My advice to the owners of Western Hills Dunkin Donuts: make sure your employees understand temperature, and teach them that "latte" means it has milk in it.
My advice to all of you, and myself: Don't sip the coffee without first looking at the coffee. Do not trust that it is hot enough, or cool enough, or has enough chocolate in it, or MILK! ( talking to you, little blonde girl at Dunkin')
Rant over. Thanks for reading. If you did. If not...................
