Worst Coffee In The World: Dunks.
Now, I know (for some un-Godly reason) that there are many people in this city that will piss themselves crazy for a cup of Dunkin' Donuts coffee. Why? I still haven't figured it out... But I did attempt to answer this question this morning...
I got up early, waited for my chair delivery, and then decided to head over to Whole Foods (the crappy one near the South End) for my bi-weekly massive shopping expedition. On my way home, I popped into the Pru to get some magazines.
"I also want coffee," I decided. But instead of going with my usual Starbucks, I decided I would try Dunks. It's been a while since I had tortured myself with the "milk-sugar-water" and I thought it would be a good time to give it a try.
So I go to Dunks.
"One small coffee please with a little cream and no sugar," I order.
"Cream and sugar?" asks the the guy taking my order.
"NO sugar, and just a little bit of cream," I reconfirmed, holding my hand up, pinching my fore finger and thumb together to emphasize how little cream I wanted.
My cup appears seconds later. I had forgotten though how Dunkin' Donuts likes to punish people who order small coffees by not having Styrofoam cups in the small size. Instead, you get a paper cup and no sleeve... Followed by a burning of your fingertips from trying to hold the cup.
I take my coffee to a table and bust out the issue of Elle I had just picked up at Barnes and Noble. I attempt to pop the lid open on my coffee and, because it is filled too high, it proceeds to splash out of the cup and onto the table.
That's when I notice something odd.
The color of my coffee was too "camel" in color. Which meant they completely ignored my request for "a little bit of cream." As I took a sip of the coffee, I realized they had also ignored my request for "no sugar." The thing was too fucking sweet! It hurt my teeth!
"Eff this!" I proclaimed. "I will never drink coffee from this shit establishment again."

kudos to you for giving it one last shot!
In fact... I was in a Dunks just three weeks ago and saw a woman standing in line with no shoes on her feet. And no one in the place told her to get out or that it was unsanitary!
Not a whole lot of pride at that place.
