I frequented the Winslow Dunkin Donuts for about a month, starting in October 2012. Believe it or not, what attracted me was their beautiful Halloween décor! I'd never been there before, and what I saw from the road intrigued me. The inside was beautifully decorated--whoever did it showed real ingenuity, and since I'm a Halloween fan from way back, this was a plus. Then, everything went downhill. I wanted to stay a while and read the paper, so I actually ordered a meal consisting of a bagel sandwich, home fries, and tea. The tea came first and was good. The bagel sandwich literally was like a rock! I wouldn't say the thing itself was stale, but obviously they'd used a microwave and put it in for too long. The home fries never came. The place wasn't busy at all, but the clerks--as pointed out on this page--have a tendency to "hobnob" amongst themselves, as if they're attending a social event. The clientele is secondary to discussions about bars and getting hammered and how their deadbeat boyfriends aren't paying child support. Plus, the woman who waited on me had completely rotten teeth, which she kept flashing at me. At first, I thought she was wearing something for Halloween, but this turned out to be the real thing, unfortunately. I finally got the home fries "on the house" because of their forgetfulness, but they, too, were hard as bricks.
Look, we all know working at a place like Dunkin' Donuts can't be all that great, but it is an income, and people should take pride in their jobs--especially when dealing with the public. I've lived in Central Maine most of my life (until recently), and I can tell you that good customer service--where the clerk is attentive and polite--is a rare commodity indeed. Most are rude, snippy, and disgusting to look at. Unfortunately, all three of those "qualities" can be found at the Winslow DD!
