I’ve developed a serious love affair with Dunkin’ Donuts’ macchiatos—or at least I would if they were served correctly more than once a month (and that might be generous). On those glorious occasions when the caramel-to-espresso ratio is just right, it’s basically liquid bliss—like a caffeinated hug. And I appreciate that, because let’s be honest: mornings can be rough, and a properly made coffee with a friendly smile is sometimes the only thing standing between me and a meltdown worthy of reality TV.
However, the experience can get… a little less sweet. It’s tough to enjoy my macchiato when I’m treated to front-row seats of staff bickering about tips, or, on the really fun days, passionately airing their grievances about who hates working there more. Let’s just say it adds a shot of drama to my order that I really didn’t ask for. If I wanted that level of entertainment, I’d binge-watch a soap opera at home with my cat.
Don’t get me wrong—there are definitely gems on the team who can whip up a perfect drink and make my day brighter just by being so cheerful. Those individuals truly know what customer service is all about. But their positivity can get overshadowed by the occasional “I’d rather be anywhere else” attitude from others.
Despite these hiccups, I have to give a shout-out to the management. They seem to be working tirelessly to keep the business running smoothly and maintain a positive vibe. You can almost see the sweat forming when they step in to defuse a heated back-and-forth behind the counter. In fairness, Dunkin’ Donuts is no small operation, and keeping everyone happy—staff and customers alike—can be akin to herding caffeinated cats.
So, should you grab your morning macchiato here? Absolutely—when it’s done right, it’s worth the occasional gamble. Just cross your fingers that you’ll be greeted by one of the upbeat team members rather than walking into a real-life version of “Caffeine and Conflict.” Here’s hoping management keeps on fighting the good fight, because underneath the drama, there’s still that lovely, caramel-y, espresso goodness waiting to make your day a...
