When I was 20 years old I worked for our local Dunkin Donuts. I would wake at 5:00 a.m., dress in my bright pink uniform, and ride my Schwinn bicycle to town. The ride took me about 20 minutes. The only time I really complained was when it was raining. I would carry my uniform in a plastic bag and put it under my raincoat. I had a clear umbrella that I put over my head and tucked the handle into my raincoat to keep it steady. What a sight that must have been to see me peddling my bike at 5:30 in the morning in the pouring rain with an umbrella over my head.

Well, for those of you who don't know, I have been unemployed since September 2006. I have applied to numerous job openings without success. My brother works at Dunkin Donuts and told the manager that I was looking for work and that I had prior experience working at Dunkin Donuts. She said that I should come down and get an application. Hopefully they will give me the hours I need to work around my schedule as well. Sometimes they are willing to give you the hours you need to work. We shall see.

Yes, it has been years since I was a Dunkin Dolly. I even have my old name tag. Maybe my former experiences will be what lands me this one. Guess I should brush up on my lines "Would you like a donut or bagel with your coffee?"

I really hope you get this job. I'm sure you'll feel much better to be working again.

I'm devastated that I never found a dunkin donuts when I was in the states the other year. It's one of those brands that I've always heard of on TV and movies etc, but we don't have it here in the UK. Tell me, are dunkin donut shops always full of fat cops?

Dunkin Donuts was my first management experience years ago. Back then they had counters and people actually sat as you waited on them. Things have changed so much. I see some of the sites that I managed now there is no seating and they all have drive through windows. It's funny. But the coffee has changed and I am still addicted. Hope it goes well for you. I will say you had a lot of ambition riding your bike in the rain.

That is great that you may be working again very soon, even if it is with your former employer. Did you like working there before? This is why people should never burn bridges when they leave a job because you may need that company again later down the road. I have worked with the same company twice myself as I worked with a bank twice. I am sure you will be the best employee they have ever had.

Am glad something is coming along. It should be good to get back to a schedule. I do hope that they can use you when you feel you are available. The next job might come easier now that you might be working again. Worth a shot and the hope that it could lead to bigger and better things. Good luck with this employment situation.

Dunkin Donuts was a franchise in the U.K. for a number of years, then suddenly just closed down, no reason was given, but it seemed to be a reasonable business, and there were a lot of complaints from the franchise holders that they were loosing their businesses. I've enjoyed eating there several times in Glasgow.

So good luck with your job application, and hope you are soon derving all these wonderful donuts.

Congratulations Elusive! I love Dunkin Donuts, only where I live they closed them all down and then reopened them as a Dunkin Donuts/Baskin Robbins store. We also have Taco Bell/Pizza Hut and KFC/Long John Silvers. It's strange when they combine the two places. However when I was pregnant with my son I loved to go to the Dunkin Donuts "Combo" and get a creme filled chocolate long john and a scoop of jamocha ice cream! LOL I'm sure it will go well for you, let us know what happens!!
