Oh, and as for delinquent donut boy, whenever I walk into the store I might do something really obnoxious, like sigh and act disappointed in a very disproportionate way when you see him, and say, "Oh man! Not the semi-trained donut monkey again!" (then yell past him to the "back" of the store or behind the counter (whoever the office is) and have an imaginary conversation with his boss (doesn't matter if he/she is actually there), "Hey! Is there someone competent here I can deal with? Preferably someone with a modicum of intelligence and charisma? I know you guys are trying to keep costs down, but this monkey does it's job very poorly. And it smells funny. And more than once I've caught it masturbating on the donuts, which, I have to say, is both sick and can't be good for business. How about hire a rude and obnoxious immigrant guy with a bad attitude who smells not quite as funny? Might be an improvement, eh?"... I could go on... And on... But you likely get the point.
OR if you wanna keep things very simple, offer him a bottle of your cheepest liquor in exchange for him to pull the stick out of his ass, and see what he does.
Of course, it's always a tricky proposition to muck with people who serve you food.
Good fortune,

Heh, that post made me laugh. You're right. It is a tricky thing messing with people who serve me food. Maybe he gets off on that power. Anyway, I was thinking about doing something more subtle. Like paying with pennies. lol... but again, I wouldn't want him to wipe his ass with my croissant. But then again, he prepares his food in front of me, so he can't really do anything too crazy unless he wipes croissants on his ass
and then saves those assed-up croissants for me later. God damnit.
