BARNSTABLE, Mass. -- Two employees at a Dunkin' Donuts shop on Cape Cod were arrested after allegedly spitting in customers' coffee.
Rodrigo Rodrigues, 22, and Junior DaSilva, 26, both of Barnstable, each face a felony charge of distributing food intended or expected to cause injury. Both are free on bail after their arraignment this week, the Cape Cod Times reported.
Barnstable police made the arrests Feb. 3 after a six-day investigation prompted by an anonymous tip that employees were spitting and urinating in police officers' coffee, according to a police report filed in court.
One doughnut shop employee told police she heard DaSilva threaten to spit in a customer's coffee and heard Rodrigues, the store manager, encourage him. The woman also heard DaSilva make a spitting sound while some coffees were in front of him, then serve them at a drive-thru. She didn't see DaSilva spit into the drink, the report said.

DaSilva told police he saw Rodrigues spit into a customer's coffee, shake it, then serve it at a drive-thru, according to the report.
Police did not identify anyone who witnessed an employee urinating in coffee. The report also does not mention any police officer who claims to have received contaminated coffee.
Repeated attempts by the Times to contact DaSilva and Rodrigues and their lawyers were unsuccessful. A message for a Dunkin' Donuts spokesperson on Saturday was not immediately returned.
Barnstable police spokesman Sgt. Sean Sweeney said both Rodrigues and DaSilva were no longer working at Dunkin' Donuts.
Didn't Dunkin' Donuts win some award as having the best-tasting coffee?
I remember the slogan for Steak N' Shake, where they had huge plate glass windows right in front of the grille where anybody could walk right up and watch the food being prepared, the resulting slogan?
"In sight, it must be right"
Now these goons at Dunkin Donuts?
Unspeakable.
"If you don't see it, we will pee in it."
When did Cape Cod become Rio de Janeiro North?
They were just following an old Jesse Jackson tradition, he admitted doing the same thing.
Hey dude, this coffee tastes like Schlitz.
I used to hang out at this diner in Chicago where you could see the cooks working in the kitchen. Caught one of them picking his nose while cooking.
years ago, I worked at a restaurant for about 6 years. word to the wise- DO NOT be rude to your server. I saw things done to food that was shameful.
The "new Americans" can be found anywhere!
| We are now one of the largest Spanish-speaking nations in the world. We're a major source of Latin music, journalism and culture. Just go to Miami, or San Antonio, Los Angeles, Chicago or West New York, New Jersey ... and close your eyes and listen. You could just as easily be in Santo Domingo or Santiago, or San Miguel de Allende. For years our nation has debated this change -- some have praised it and others have resented it. By nominating me, my party has made a choice to welcome the new America. As I speak, we are celebrating the success of democracy in Mexico. George Bush from a campaign speech in Miami, August 2000. |
Here is an excerpt of a good critique of that speech:
In equating our intimate historic bonds to our mother country and to Canada with our ties to Mexico, W. shows a staggering ignorance of the civilizational facts of life. The reason we are so close to Britain and Canada is that we share with them a common historical culture, language, literature, and legal system, as well as similar standards of behavior, expectations of public officials, and so on.

LOL!
Not that its a bad thing, as long as they are female. ;-)
That's good advice that I live by. If you're going to complain about your server, wait until after the food is served and don't pay by credit card.
It isn't only the server to worry about. Usually in restaurant life, the cooks and servers get pretty tight. I saw cooks do some nasty things when servers would go back and complain.
There is actually a longtime Portuguese community in parts of New England - CT, MA, RI. I'm not sure how many generations back they go.
I'd expect this stuff from teenagers, but not twenty-somethings.
"Time to spit in the coffee."
Yeouch! You aren't kidding!
When I do eat out, I have a strong preference for places with open kitchens.
