Review of "Thanks, Dunkin Donut Lady"
This piece had a lot of good edits, especially for ambi sound. This piece was a nice little shout out to people to serve us our food drinks (and coffee) on a regular basis. I think it may have been more interesting to have gotten a hold of the actual woman she spoke to and had her talk about her experience at Dunkin Donuts -- and why/how she remembers the customers orders... was this girls the only one she remembered? Or were there others. Instead of giving a shout out it would have given a face to all the nameless people that service America's appetite around the country.
