My Rant of the Day (NCR)

For some of us such as myself that own a small business sometimes there are no weekends or my weekend might be in the middle of the week (how's that for an oxymoron LOL)
Anyway....today was a work day for me.

Usually in the morning I stop at a Dunkin' Donuts for a #2 (Don't even think of going there rofl) which is a Coffee and Muffin.
This morning I pull up to the drive up. I tell the guy I want a Number 2, Medium coffee with Half and Half, light, no sugar and a Blueberrry muffin.
The voice at the other end says what? I repeat Medium coffee with cream (Yes they use half and half but some call it cream, anyway) light no sugar and a blueberry muffin. I hear some grunts, I say that's it, the voice says drive up.
I get to the window and the guy hands me a large iced coffee. I ask what the hell is this he tells me it's what I ordered
I tell him no its not.
Again I say, medium coffee, cream light, no sugar
He repeats back to me, medium coffee with 2 sugars?
I'm about to blow a fuse, I'm looking around to see if I'm on candid camera or something, is it me or possibly the Indian that barely speaks much less understands English?
I try to be tolerant but what goes here. Perhaps for a change, rather than hiring all your inlaws that arrived yesterday, how about hiring someone that speaks English.
English, It's getting to be a foreign language here.

Predjudiced ? No, but getting less and less tolerant every day trying to communicate with people that have no business dealing with the public.
