| - The best way to describe this location, would be to use the analogy of a nice, shiny automobile that has been caked with debris and mud and looks horrible. You know that a newer car is under there somewhere, but it looks as if someone didn't give a rat's arse whether it was clean or not. This place was filthy, yucky, and it shouldn't have been.
But it get's better... Here's an actual conversation I had:
Me: I'd like a an apple fritter and a french cruller.
Her: Anything else?
Me: Yes, I'd like a strawberry banana chiller, please.
Employee: We only have banana and mocha and mocha 'banilla.
Me: Oh, then I'll have the banana.
Her: We don't have banana.
Me: Okay, I'll have the mocha.
This is when she pulled out the mocha mix coffee creamer and went to get a cup of ice.
Me: Hey, that's coffee creamer.
Her: It says mocha (and points, so I can read the word mocha, too).
Me: Nah, I'll take some water. Two, please.
Her: Fine! (as she slams the mocha back in the fridge).
Her, again: That will be $1.18.- angry pause- Each!
Me: Wait! What about our donuts?
Her: Fine! Here.
So she chucks them in the bag and we wipe a space clean at a table and sit. Then I hear some rather unkind Tagalog making comments they think I haven't heard before, and loud enough that I hear them. And I don't speak Tagalog, but I know a few choice, unkind words and phrases.
And I say to myself- Self, this is what you get when you go to a Winchell's. Take a memo, self. Don't do that again. Especially when the Cruller was soggy.
P.S. DO NOT try to make a left turn out of the parking lot! It will take you close to ten minutes. Your mileage may vary, as will the sogginess of your donut.
