    It has just under 124K on it and seems to be mechanically sound, just looks beat up with all the dents and scratches, needs a new front bumper. I don't want to put money into it. Got to figure whether my jeep is worth fixing anymore. At 23 years old and with 230K, I am little worried the engine may be about done.

    UPS. I ordered a pair of shoes on line. UPS delivered them to the post office, the wrong post office in Upsala. There is a day delay because of this UPS had to drive by my house to deliver the shoes to the Burtrum. Other frustrating thing UPS has delivered to my house in the past.

    Walking into a Dunkin doughnuts, during a relatively slow time and having to wait 5 min. To see a clerk. A Dunkins that I routinely go into to purchase 5-6 bags at a time of Coffee BEANS. I say to clerk "when does your whole bean order come in, your out?"
    The reply accompanied by a seriously stupid look on their face is " I don't believe we'll get whole beans in. I admit I lost it a little bit. " WHY OF COURSE YOU'LL HAVE AN ORDER YOU SELL WHOLE BEAN COFFEE . I'M IN HERE BUYING IT MONTHLY!" Please go ask your manager when the next order arrives. 10 minutes later.....
    The manager is not here and the assistant manager doesn't know. You do not know when your orders are due? Do you not get 2 orders a week? Yes. Do they not come in, usually, the same days ? Yes, but she doesn't know if bean coffee was ordered. Do you not have computer records? Because there would be an easily accessed invoice, never mind! Turned apologized to ppl now behind me and left.
    WTH!!!!!

    I used to order DD Whole Beans online. Set up an account and have it delivered to your house once a month.

    Of course then you would be in the same boat as Sota with his disdain for UPS. Life is hard at times. :confused:

    America runs on Dunkin's, which is why everyone is bitter and burnt (out).

    Is there a shipping cost because I drive right by this store when grocery shopping. They are constantly looking for help. That says a lot.

    I'm not burnt out nor bitter. Though I am losing any tolerance I had for incompetency.

    OND, I can’t recall. It has been a few years. I just remember running into the same thing as you described and thought any extras would be worth not dealing with staff at the store. We got the 5#bag as the only whole bean they had at the store was 1#. If I recollect correctly, it was considerably cheaper.

    Doubt @Justin is going to let that one go, last I heard he was in cahoots with Apple and Android to import it to all platforms.

    Good to see you around still, next thing you know @Shultzy is going show up.
