Coffee Jackassery

From time to time I’ll swing by my local Duncan Donuts on the way into the clog factory. While I am not a fan of their donuts, I do find their coffee to be enjoyable.



monkey see, monkey do.

The guys in the drive through, I am certain, have a game going. The young man that takes your order, sees how many times he can say “my friend” while the young man who takes my money and gives me my coffee sees how many times he can say “buddy.” They do a good job, and I can imagine if I was slinging coffee and donuts,

I might do similar things. So for instance a typical conversation would look like this:


aero bootie failure on lap 3...

Duncan Dude #1 : “Good morning my friend, How can I help you today my friend?”

Me: “ Medium coffee, light cream, light sugar- thanks”

Duncan Dude #1 : “thank you my friend, that will be $1.50 at the window, have a great day my friend!”

As I roll to the window Duncan Dude #2 kicks it:

Duncan Dude #2; “ Good to see you Buddy! Here’s your order. And here’s your change Buddy.”

Me; “thank you sir”

Duncan Dude #2: “no worries Buddy, you have a great day now”

For those scoring at home Dude #1 wins the exchange 4 my friends to 3 buddys.

These kids are pretty good. However, I’ve been a jackass for 40 years now, and I know how these games are played.

This morning’s exchange went like this:

Duncan Dude #1 : “Good morning my friend, How can I help you today my friend?”

Me: “ My friend, My Buddy- I would love a medium coffee black and strong. Thanks my friend, my Buddy”

Duncan Dude #1: “uh- sure thing, black coffee---- that will be $1.50—please pull around to the window.”

I pull around

Duncan Dude #2: “ My Buddy, That will be $1.50”

Me; “$1.50 it is my Buddy, my friend… Here you go!”

Duncan Dude #2: “ Okay... hmmm ....here’s your coffee!”

Me; “ Thank you so much my buddy, my friend, you have a great day!”

And I drive off.

For those scoring at home:


finishing straight

Duncan Dude #1 has 2 my friends and was shut down.
Duncan Dude #2 has 1 my buddys but nothing more.
I however have 4 my buddys and 4 my friends; plus like in scrabble I get a double word score for the buddy/friend combo- For The Win !

For the record, the coffee was good too.
