First Dunkin' Donuts
The first ever Dunkin' Donuts is located at 543 Southern Artery in Quincy, Massachusetts. I was able to figure this out from a little web research and when I finally narrowed it down, I made a phone call:
Dunkin' Donuts Guy: Hello. Dunkin' Donuts
Me: Hi. Umh...this might be a silly question, but is this the first ever Dunkin' Donuts?
Dunkin' Donuts Guy: Yes ::silence::
Me: Great ::silence:: That's all I wanted to know. Thank you.
"Yes." That's all he said! I've never worked at the "first ever" anything, let alone the first ever Dunkin' Donuts. I work at a tiny non-profit, but it's not even the original office.
If I worked at the first ever Dunkin' Donuts I'd be telling everyone. I'd be screaming it everywhere I went. I'd run up to everyone and shake them while screaming, "Do you know where the first ever Dunkin' Donuts is? It's at 543 Southern Artery in Quincy, Massachusetts and I WORK THERE!" I'd say all that, while shaking them, and then I'd kiss them on the cheek, and say, "Have a good day, but be sure to stop by the first ever Dunkin' Donuts at 543 Southern Artery in Quincy, Massachusetts. And if you happen to stop by at the right time, I just might serve you because I work there!" And then I'd be off in a flash to share my message with the next person.
But alas, I don't work there. And the people that do don't seem to appreciate the enormosity of the situation. Such a shame.

I worked at a Krispy Kreme and if I have ONE more person scream at me about how exciting it is, or how cool it is, or how GREAT THE DAMN DOUGHNUTS ARE I may just lose it. The novelty wears off quickly my friend. In fact it becomes the worst part of the job... when you have to spend 45 min. lining up the sugar packets becuase corporate is SO obsessed with how things look, or a memo is sent out that toilet paper should be hung in an over-hand fashion, that's when things are out of hand.
