I would prefer you guys skip the cheese talk and go back to the children’s MMA discussion tia.

couldn't a-brie more.

Cotswold > manchego in a walk.

Howard - the first rule of trolling is that you have to post something that someone might actually believe.

I kinda hope that 27o puts up a sticky thread of Anna Kendrick pictures just to get people that care about Ms OTT even more furious.

Howard,

Hope you enjoyed your flight from Paris!

This would not make me furious.

Lol. He took his pants off too.

Is he perhaps a conductor of an orchestra?

Ana de Armas is fine where she is, folks.

Today’s cheese is a 1,000 day old Gouda from Trader Joe’s. It packs a huge flavor punch in a tiny bite; almost too much. Nutty tasting with those crystallized bits in it.

Chop,

My apologies. There was a typo in my prior post. So I’ll fix it here:

Cotswold >> Manchego

I haven’t written about Dunkin in ages but here we are again.

Cliffs: I run on Dunkin but have reduced my intake to 2 coffees per day. One of which I get at their fabulous flagship store in Boston. I go there every day and my order is made before I even order it! This guy is amazing. As soon as he sees me he gets my espresso going. Obviously I tip him.

And....he usually gives me something free. Baked goods, which I bring back to the office, or a free espresso shot.

He couldn’t be nicer nor could the service be better. I walked there last week during the snow storm, forgot to bring money, and he just waved me away. Next time I went in I gave him $5.

Okay now to today. I walk in and he gets the espresso machine going. Makes my coffee which should cost about $4.50 but it came to $1.09; the price of an espresso shot only.

So I said something and he was like “yeah don’t worry, I know your order.” And gave me my perfectly made coffee.

Ugh, so I gave him the $5 bill and told him to keep the change.

But I don’t want to do that every day! I don’t mind sticking it to the man, and I’d rather give my money to this awesome worker than the corporation IN THEORY.

In reality I don’t know what the **** to do if this happens again tomorrow. Help me!

Keep in mind, I want to keep going there every day, love the store and the service.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Dunkin Donuts are franchises, the dude might own the place.

Every time he charges you 1.09 give him 2. Take homeless man out front home, give him a nice hot shower, and let him sleep in your son's room.

I wouldn't sweat it Josie, Dunkin will just write it off

Flash him and get your expresso free. This should not even be a question.

I can't recall the last time I laughed this hard at a post. LEGIT!

You'll have to figure out the answer that works for you.

But let me get this part straight: you were fine getting comped baked goods, espresso shots, and a freebie when you forgot your cash, but you have a big issue with the daily discounted prices?

As much as I like Manchego, I will have to disagree with chop in that the actual king of cheeses is likely Parmigiano Reggiano.

While chop is very good at charity roulette and verbally abusing mentally unstable women online, he is not as good at cheese rankings.

Howard,

My favorite beer-cheese pairing is Cotswold with a classic West Coast IPA.

Josie,

I don't mind the occasional discount or freebie, but if it turned into something where every time my $5 purchase was getting rung up as $1 but I gave the employee $5 anyways, it starts to feel a lot more like stealing.

EDIT: I'd start insisting on paying actual list price, and if met with resistance, would stop the tipping on top. Either he'll make the register right on his own dime because he likes me so much, or he'll stop the discount.

Your faction is why a certain comrade isn’t on here anymore, genius.

Next time order a large (whatever that is in Starbucks/dunkin language) black coffee and toss that sucker in the dining area. Consult the fast food thread if you need more detailed instructions.
