The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

It's Yoga Mom-Benz-Bentley-Faux-Namaste town where i live. In other words not really my thing but after years of pleading with the snob township Dunkin came in a few years ago and thankfully, the 'nice' minority within the town comes here versus the other places but of course, the usual element is certain present.

There's this girl - maaaaybe 11-12 years old tops who comes in most mornings, her parent(s) waitin car outside and she picks up her online order.

MEAN AS SHIT. Like she's got a sign on her head "i'm mean". She's every stereotype of a stuck up soccer mom trapped in a youth's existence. Anyway---nopt my monkey, not my circus, I dont care---my kids are yes sir, yes ma'am, please, thank you. So i could care less.

So she comes in minutes ago "IS MY PINK READY OR DO YOU HAVE NEW PEOPLE AGAIN"? So she snatches her paper bag off the rack and i swear the wait for drink couldn't be more than 20 seconds...she's got her arms folded and shaking her head in a "wtf why so long way". A few of us regulars exchange the usual glance and i go back to my laptop.

It's a small store so I hear one Dunkin' Employee say to his or her co-worker "I thought they aren't allowed to come out in the morning on Yom Kippur" The co-worker says "no, I think they gotta be home by night time"

Anyhow, don't shoot the messagener. OR dont' high five the messenger.
