Are you the person who always offers to make a Dunkin run for the office? Are you the person intern who's always forced to make a Dunkin run for the office? Do you cleverly get your DD fix before work so you never have to worry about helping others caffeinate? If you're not in the latter category, you might want to check out Dunkin Run, a new website—and, more conveniently for Applephiles, iPhone app [iTunes link]. Dunkin Run allows you to invite a group of Dunkin folks to submit their orders electronically so you can make sure Carole gets her large iced coffee and Jim his mocha and Sally her bagel with light cream cheese and Allen his flatbread with bacon and George his six star spangled donuts and you get to carry it all back all by yourself. Fun!
Sadly, you can't actually submit your order online, so you'll still have to wait in the store, but at least it eliminates the confusion of writing orders on your hand or on a sticky that then unsticks itself to whatever it was stuck to and leaves you looking like a thoughtless loser who can't remember a Dunkin order. Has anyone tried this out yet? Let us know how it goes. (Via Gizmodo, where an astute commenter points out that "The app should remind you every couple weeks that you only took this job to get by until you get that acting gig. You're definitely not in it for the long haul and the fact that you've been there for 5 years means nothing." Sigh.)
