"Talk Like a Pirate Day" at Krispy Kreme

Today is "Talk Like a Pirate Day" at Krispy Kreme. You get a free glazed donut if you order like a pirate.
So I went up to the drive-through and said "Arr! I be havin' a free donut and one 'o yer large coffees with cream an' 3 Splendas, if ye please." (I can speak a pretty good Pirate, having spent many years watching "Spongebob Squarepants" with my daughter and then the grandkids).
Unfortunately, the lady manning the drive-through was this Vietnamese lady who didn't speak Pirate. She responded through the speaker "What??? What you want???"
I suspect she's going to have a long day...
She was good-humored about it though. When I got to the window, she smiled and said "You talk good Pirate".

Oh, after switching to more traditional English, I got my order through to her. No harm, no foul. :-)

When I was at Domino's, I got a $5 tip for talking like a pirate once.
Can't do it these days, I don't speak Somali...

Pirates were, and remain, LARGELY sadistic thief-rapist torturers whose horrific, utterly inhuman deeds are well documented by the few who survived encounters. I never understood our love affair with pirates.

Spoiler alert: You get a free glazed donut at Krispy Kreme any day of the week. Only when the "HOT" sign is on.

You could probably get away with calling her a wench, and no one would blink an eye.

WARNING!!! If you’ve never had a fresh hot Krispy Kreme doughnut, do not do this. It’s a trap, employed by pushers everywhere. The first one’s free. After that, you’re addicted for life. Believe me, I know what I’m talking about here.
They pulled me and DH into their lair with this Talk Like A Pirate scheme. Now we talk like addicts. Can’t wait for the next one. Can’t pass a Krispy Kreme without checking to see if the Hot Now light is on.
I even downloaded an app that’s supposed to tell when we’re near a Krispy Kreme, and which ones within 100 miles currently have the light on. It drains my battery, but rarely tell the truth. I’m thinking of deleting it, but I just can’t. It would feel like a betrayal of everything I’ve come to live for.
They should call it Krispy Krack.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go watch a marathon of Sponge Bob to cram for my doughnut.

Great response! We should have "Talk like an Oriental" day. Extra donut if you put in fake buck teeth and Coke bottle glasses (a la Mickey Rooney in "Breakfast at Tiffany's")
