Dunkin Donuts bargain My husband and I believe in love at first sight. We met as teens in 1979. While I was working at Dunkin Donuts, his brother and father would come in, but Dale would just sit outside and wait. I told his brother I wanted to meet that cute boy and told him to make his brother come in and talk to me. One day he got up his nerve and came in. He had the face of an angel, and he was dressed in paint-spattered work clothes. I took his order and served him with a big smile. When finished eating, he shyly walked up to the register to pay and said, “Do you want to go for a ride in my car?” Of course, I agreed. I told a co-worker what had happened, and she offered me $5 to let her go out with him instead. I turned her down. We went out on a date that night and were married the next year. Now, 27 years later, we have raised three beautiful daughters and are very happy. What a bargain my husband got for his money: Soda pop, doughnut, and wife! And I’m glad I didn’t sell him for that $5! Mary Roach, New London, Union Power Cooperative |
