Dunkin' Donuts
Reviews and Complaints

We are not allowed to put wax papers in the bags with a product at all. It's just like putting a pair of used disposable gloves in the bag, which is unsanitary. Our hands touch the paper, and then touch your food. The employee probably had no idea she was doing anything wrong. Ask for separate bags next time.

We are not allowed to put wax papers in the bags with the donuts after we've touched them in our location unless specifically asked to.
The entire point of the wax paper is to create a barrier between the hand and your food. Why would you want said contaminated object banging around in the bag rubbing against your donuts.
if anything, if you really are that particular, you should ask for seperate bags.

To the Dude that complained about the lack of squishy donuts- get up earlier. Most places unless located in a busy 24 hour spot, only get one, 2 deliveries max. Donuts are best between 6-3 and then from there is a bit.. downhill. Thats because donuts and coffee doesnt come out of a Magically Perfectly Delicious land; they come out of trucks and from hurried workers rushing brews cause they only have 2 pots that function and a line out drivethru and front counter. Its from owners with their values on how much cash they can stick in their pockets to buy more stores or buy STUPID equipment we dont use while purposefully shorting their stores of NEEDED items like CREAM and SUGAR and REGULAR COFFEE and all sorts of other things. Lids. Medium cups. I remember the day we ran out of ice. That was aweful.
The point is,
it sucks for the employee too.
Ive been at this particular location for almost 4 years now, and I am damn good at being Octopus Armed/Minded (able to multitask and remember large strings of orders at once) cause I do everything by myself cause they put me on BY MY SELF with a drive through and a front counter and I serve you guys AT ONCE. And the costumers are just the tip of the iceburg. You really have no idea how much side work there is when you are by yourself. And EVERYTHING else. I never stop moving; and Ive learned to like it cause guess what? I get Coffee to make it possible, and The tips I make, make it worth it. If you are a good people person, which I am, you develop a following. And once you have that following your in. You have an average amount you pretty much know you can count on. This is the deciding factor of any tip industry.
But now they are taking that away, so I think it is going to be time for me to find a new job. The constant, rediculious shortages and unfair treatment/late paychecks was one after another after another.. machines break and they dont fix them.. keep having to turn people away.. That comes out of my pocket too, because that is potential tips for me right there! When you have to keep telling people you dont have something its REALLY hard to get them to tip you after that cause they dont like your establishment and either they dont realize or you BOTH dont realize that its really the Corperation holding ya down. They dont give a ### about nobody. Not even pissed off customers. Unless it can be held up in a court of law. They know someone else will happen along wanting what you were wanting.

I have always been a Dunkin Donut fan however my complaint is the Coffee is not always Hot, and the donuts are not always Soft, especially the JELLY. I believe it may be the ingredient? Sometimes they taste like btheir not FRESH. JOHN

There was a time when donuts were made fresh all day in each store. Remember the ads with that tired donut maker getting up all through the day every day to make the donuts. All he could say was "got to make the donuts" where is that Dunkin's cause they all suck now in fact I don't think there has been a fresh donut at Dunkin's in at least 15 years or more. Are there still real donut stores left? Maybe the savior inchief can fix this in his next fleecing of America's unborn tax bill. Some congress member can write it in to law. Who's going to complain about it since they don't read these bills anyway why not a fresh donut act.

OMG!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

They missed out on adding cream into my tea. I came back an hour later (I was at work when i figured this out) and they said they could not give me cream because they could not recognize me.

Do not go to Dunkin Donut @ Meadow Glen Mall in Medford, MA

Install a hidden camera in the freezer and use the videotape of the man's activities to send to the police or DD corporate headquarters or just use it to get some sweet cash out the dude. Quit being a whiny victim and turn the tables.

Good luck.

Go to Boston and the areas outside of Boston and alot of the Dunkin Donut workers are illegal Brazilian immigrants, the funny thing is alot of the Brazilian who speak fluent english are illegal and in other instances there are emplyess who have limited english skills but they have their immigration paper work in order.

I agree with you.
It is very frustrating dealing with servers and crew members who can't speak english.
I am working for a Dunkin' and more than half of my co-workers are not fluent in english. It makes my job very difficult.
I mean, how am I s'posed to tell them what I need, how to fix orders, ring things, or anything for that matter, if they can't speak english. Its really hard. Customers are constantly complaining.

Its not teh coffe but the coffee maker..they use professional coffee makers that brew the coffee more evenly and at a certain temp and an exact certain amounbt of water per pot..no it will never taste the same as DD

Today, I was using a 99 cent coupon for a medium ice coffee and the employee mistakingly gave me a small one. When I pointed this out, another employee took the small iced coffee, poured it into a medium cup with ice (enough ice so the medium cup was now full) and handed me the "medium" iced coffee. I looked at him incredulously (as did the others in line) and asked "That's it? Doesn't a medium iced coffee have more coffee than a small iced coffee?" No, he told me, they have the same amount of coffee.

I've been suspicious for a long time that I was being cheated by the amount of ice you put into the cups, but now I have proof. The only difference between a small, medium, and large iced coffee is the amount of ice! That's quite expensive ice I'm paying for when I get a large.

For now on, I'm buying a small iced coffee and asking for an empty large cup. I'll make the transfer myself and then ask for extra ice.

I ordered 2 coffes and i give the manager 2 coupons, the coupon i bought from DD of free md size coffe with that coupons. After i give him the coupon he said it been used but never used the coupon then he was so rude to me. I told him if it was use then i wouldn't have it because you guys would take it from me.then he gave me that look and said i'm not taking that coupon. And the coffee tasted like hot water.

That's bull. A medium iced coffee literally has the same amount of coffee as a medium hot coffee. I know. I decided to be nosey one day while bored at work (obviously, Dunkin Donuts). The only difference is how the coffee is brewed and that ice is added. A medium definitely has more coffee than a small. Otherwise, it's still a small.

I'm a worker at Dunkin' Donuts and usually when the coffee tastes watered down its because new coffee was new brewed. New coffee should be ground and brewed every 18 minutes or when the pot is empty. I suggest that you tell the manager your coffee tastes watery and you want it replaced with a better one since you paid for it. Do not leave unless you are satisfied with what you paid for. When customers complain to me that something doesn't taste right I always replace it. Don't be afraid to ask. It's our job to make the customers happy and they are our number one priority. I hope your coffee tastes better next time!

I also have had bad experiences with the dunkin donut company.I recently bought one dozen chocolate glaze mixed with powdered and they were as hard as a brick.When I sent out an email about the complaint the very next day the store manager contacted me.He told me how sorry he was and that to keep me as a customer he would send me a email receipt to recieve a free dozen donuts and to get my money back on the first order. Needless to say that hasn't happened guess there not only bad business people but liars as well.

On my way to work I stop at the same dunkin donuts to purchase breakfast it is the closest one to my job, and it has never failed ever time I go my order is messed up. Now, I dont know what the problem is but it sure does not take a rocket scientist to carry out a order If I ask for a coffee with cream and splenda, I get a coffee black, if I ask for a tea black with spenda i get a tea with milk, if I asked for a bagel toasted both side, I get a bagel sliced not toasted and butter, what do i have to do to get a order that is currect because I am getting sick and tired of arguring about food that I don't order.

I go to Dunkin Donuts on the corner of Brick Blvd. & Beaverson Blvd., in Brick, N.J., you are running a promotion(Peeland Play). Why are you running promotions if your company will not honor the coupons ? I buy coffee, donuts, sandwiches, etc. every day and I save the Peel and Play Coupons and when I go to cash one in the girls will not accept them. They say that the manager won't let them take them. What is going on ? I was there yesterday and got a coupon for a free Iced Coffee or Iced Tea with the purchase of a Flatbread Sandwich. Well when I went there today and purchased a Flatbread Sandwich the girl refused to give me the free Iced Coffee. She would not accept the coupon I told her that I got it there the day before but she refused to listen and charged me for the coffee anyway. All the customers on line were trying to reason with her and trying to tell her that the store should not be giving out coupons that they are not going to honor but she absolutely refused to listen to anyone. They were all saying that they were not going to come back there anymore if they are not going to honor the promotions but I thought I would just write you and see what you can make out of this. I would appreciate someone getting back to me and letting me know what is going on. Thanks.

Dunkin donuts coffee coming soon to grocery stores near you! Get it!

I work at Dunkin Donuts, there are many employees I have run into that do stuff like that... but the majority of employees like myself fill the cup half way with ice and then the rest with coffee. This was a medium has more coffee than a small... I'm sorry someone ruined your opinions of us workers.

Because of the customer you have a job. dont get mad just because you didnt finish school. thats way your there who are you mad at I hope yourself.

As far as dunkin donuts complaints go. Some are better than others. I always serve the customers with a good attitude but more often than not the customers are extremely rude and treat me like dirt. They are a bunch of fu**ing caffeine addicts that come in feeding thier addiction and scream at me if they don't get it perfect. I had a man throw his coffee over the counter because I made his coffee "too light" supposedly when he clearly told me that he wanted extra extra cream and I even repeated his order back to him. I get several customers a day like that. I work my 8 hour shifts with not a single break and still serve the customers while working in an understaffed very busy store. The customers at drive will yell hello in my ear the very second they come up at drive through. Even when there are only two people on that shift and we have a huge line at counter and another at drive through. Managment should be contacted more often than not it is not the fault of the employees. People just dont give a ### anymore. And I will not be treated like crap when I work my ### off to keep a roof over my head.

That's unfortunate, you're likely to get nothing out of this settlement. Also, there is probably no proof considering the cameras were probably blocked by the cashiers body. This is the case in my store. They will delay the case until you quit. Good luck!

Last night, once again I went to the Dunkin Donuts located on Rt. 30 Rd. in North Versailes PA and once again their were only maybe 15 donuts in the entire store which are kinds I don't like. Also, they never have bagels. This is the 3rd time at this location I have had the same problem. They are open 24 hrs. a day, which they use to always have donuts no matter what time you would stop in. I am stopping around 10 pm or so. Since I only stop by 1 time a week, I suspect these stores have had no donuts probably when I haven’t stopped. When I ask to speak to a manager or owner and one never seems to be around. The only answer I get is we only make Donuts certain times a day which the Donuts are not ready until 2 or 3 in the morning. I am always told we were busy today so I guess this means they are busy all the time and never have donuts that makes a lot of sense. I remember the commercials that say it is time to make the donuts which means you should have donuts when you are open at all times. This means if you are open 24 hours a day you should have a verity of donuts 24 hours a day not just 2 in morning or 2 in the afternoon. This is like going to Burger King and them telling me we don't have a Whopper we only make them certain times a day. I have been told at 2 in the afternoon is the best time to get donuts. I do not have time to stop in when there might be donuts available. I go out of my way to get donuts from Dunkin Donuts and I do not appreciate them no having donuts any time I stop. I have not been able to get one donut in weeks to a month. I think someone should know what poor customer service these stores are giving since I am sure this is not the way Dunkin Donuts wants to be represented.

Other people have been talking about problems they have been having with these stores and are now going elsewhere for their donuts like crispy cremes. I don’t want to go elsewhere so I am writing to you with the hope that you would look into this franchise and rectify the situation so we can all go back to patronizing Dunkin Donuts.

Ware, Massachusetts - I bought a medium coffee and a muffin and gave the girl at the drive-thru $ 20.00 and I got back $ 3.75 instead of 13.75. I went back the next day and the store manager gave me the run around and said there was nothing he could. He then told me to leave a name and number and the main office would look into it. The manager had a personality of a old used work-boot. No apology or "geez here`s some coupons for your troubles". He said the till was correct yesterday morning when the girl cashed out, basicly calling me a liar and a kook. I will never go to Dunkin Doughnuts again. You think a company that makes billions a year would be more curtious.

EVERYONE understands a starbucks menu now and it hasn't changed much in 10 years. Even if you don't like ordering a "grande" - I certainly don't, so i agree with you guys, Keith and Al - I still know what it means.

But the premise of the commercial is really dated. There's no sense of Wha? anymore when someone says their starbucks drink order. The whole "Double grande skinny mocha no-whip extra sugar latte with one pump of hazelnut" joke is really early-Friends era.

To top it off, Dunkin still calls its drink a "latte." And I get that there's no "regular" equivalent, but word - the Italian for milk - seems really odd and out of place when juxtaposed RIGHT after a riff on how much stupid Americans hate foreign words.

Disagree totally. I loved the commercial. Really, any commercial that makes me smile rates high in my book.

Besides, I hate going to Starbucks and asking for their Grande. In fact, I don't. I just say "give me a medium black coffee."

I cannot disagree more. I miss the days when you could walk into the local coffee store and ask for a medium without looking like you have been in a cave for the last five years. Venti and grande are not in my vocabulary as sizes for a reason. I'm grumpy enough before my first cup of coffee without having to consult a lexicon!

I visited the Dunkin Donuts at Alafaya Trail in Orlando Florida a couple of times and witnessed many flies flying around the store and even landing on donuts. The service was terrible and it was all due to the store manager giving the employees a hard time and not acknowledging there hard work. They all looked miserable to work there. I waited close to 15 minutes to get an egg and cheese croissantwich and ended up with someone elses order. The store manager had a terrible attitude and didn't seem to care about the store being unsanitary. It will be the last visit to that Dunkin Donuts for me.

The dunking donuts in Bloomfield ave next to staples in Bloomfield,NJ has a very poor service. Its bathrooms are disgusting. The manager can't even speak English nor can't serve a costumer. He has a very bad attitude toward the workers and the costumers. The service is slow, and they don't have enough people in the counter. It is a shame that the service of this store has change so fast. It looks like as if the manger of the store was not certificated by Dunkin Donuts.

Please attend to this matter as soon as possible.

Sincerly, a daily costumer!

I work for a Dunkin Donuts in Lewiston maine and my manager is really mean to us workers, she fires people for a reason we dont think is right and to top it off she comes to work smelling like the alcohol she had to drink the night before... we have tried talking to our general manager and he does the same threatens our jobs... if I myself didnt have a family to support I would have walked long ago... is there somebody we can have look into these matters without losing our jobs.
