Title: Dunkin’ “Free Coffee Day” May 19 turns into chaotic Hunger Games simulation as every single location runs out of coffee by 7:32 AM
Body:
So apparently Dunkin’ thought it’d be a fun little marketing stunt to give away free coffee on May 19. Cool, right? Wrong.
I roll up at 7:15 AM to my local Dunkin’, ready to claim my free swill. There’s already a line wrapped around the building, but whatever, I’m patient. After 20 minutes, I get to the speaker. “Sorry, we’re out of coffee.” The entire state of Massachusetts is out of coffee. Every single location is dry by 8 AM.
People are literally fighting in the parking lot. I saw a 60-year-old woman in a “Live, Laugh, Love” shirt threaten to key a Prius because they took the last medium iced regular. A man in full business attire is weeping into a bucket of munchkins because “it’s all they had left.”
Dunkin’ corporate released a statement like “we apologize for the inconvenience, please try again next time.” Cool, next time I’ll just bring my own beans and a thermos of tears.
TL;DR: Dunkin’ gave away free coffee. Ended up creating a Mad Max scenario. I got a stale donut hole and secondhand trauma.
AITA for expecting them to actually have coffee at a coffee giveaway?
