Hannah The Baker

October 8, 2009 By Carole

Guess who just got her first job? Yup, my girl is now working at Dunkin’ Donuts. Or Dunks, as it’s called around here.

Hannah Dunks Uniform

Doesn’t she look cute? She’s not too happy with the uniform, of course. The pants come up too high, the visor makes her forehead itch, and the shirt is too big. I told her to plaster a smile on her face and act cute and then just wait for the tips to roll in.

When I drove her to work on Tuesday I was teasing her about the old Dunkin Donuts commercials and she had no idea what I was talking about. So I did a little You Tube sleuthing and I found them. No wonder she doesn’t remember them – they are from 1983!

Ahh yes, good ole Fred the Baker. This will be Dale when he drives Hannah to her Sunday shift at 5:30 am. Time to make the donuts.

This one was always my favorite.  It still cracks me up.  Are these donuts fresh today?

Hannah Dunks Mug

Speaking of favorites . . . Hannah is much cuter than Fred the Baker, don’t you think?

    Thanks for the giggle to start my day. I had completely forgotten about those commercials. I always loved that second one too. Yes, Hannah is a little bit cuter than Fed the Baker 🙂

    Yep, Hannah definitely wins out over Fred the Baker in the cuteness category! Thanks for the morning chuckle!

    Hannah is way cuter than Fred. I forgot how funny those ads were.

  4. Nora says

    She is darling, and I love that you found those ads!!

    No contest …. Hannah is the cutest DD counterperson ever.

  6. Barbara-Kay says

    Congratulations on the job, Hannah. Just beware of eating too many “fringe benefits”…those puppies can pack on the pounds!
    (Happily licking fingers in memory of many good donuts)

    While aware of DD, I was a bit surprised at how ubiquitous they were in New England when visiting last week. We have none here they I’ve seen (they’ve all been supplanted by ‘organic, locally grown bagel shops’ as near as I can tell). DH would surely have pulled into a DD had there been a lass a pretty as Hannah at the counter. Hope her experience in the working world is positive.

  8. Anne says

    October 8, 2009 at 8:00 am

    OMG – I still use that phrase when we have to get up at early o’clock for something.

    Time to make the donuts.

    Thanks for the memory lane trip. I had forgot the one with Fred in drag. 🙂

    October 8, 2009 at 8:10 am

    Congratulations to Hannah! She looks fantastic in her new uniform. My first job was an early shift at a market. Early’s tough at first, but I grew to love it. I hope Hannah does as well.

  10. Diana says

    October 8, 2009 at 8:11 am

    Hanna is a real supermodel.
    But as for the donuts – as I’m living in Eastern Europe and at the time of the commercials was behind the iron curtain, I can confess I had never seen those commercials and now am quite surprised. I believe nowadays it is illegal (or perhaps just in Europe) to compare one product to another specific product – like DD donuts and supermarket donuts. Sure, they don’t say WHICH supermarket, but anyway, I haven’t heard such comparisons for a long time.
    A very interesting and even educational post! Who would have thought?

  11. margene says

    October 8, 2009 at 8:24 am

    She’s a doll and with her nice smile she should gather in the tips!

  12. Norma says

    October 8, 2009 at 8:43 am

    Oh god, those commercials! I used to think they were soooo stupid. And yet, they are definitely memorable, and a line that one can borrow for one’s own daily grind.

    Hannah looks like she should be their new poster girl. 😀

  13. Knitnana says

    October 8, 2009 at 8:49 am

    Congrats, Hannah!!! I know the outfit doesn’t quite live up to your style, but it’s just like your Mom says – the tips WILL roll in. And that’s what it’s all about, right?
    (((hugs)))

    October 8, 2009 at 9:08 am

    She’s so cute! My first job was at Dunkin’ Donuts!!!! It literally took me years to ever want to eat another donut again!!!

  15. Jo-Ann says

    October 8, 2009 at 10:04 am

    Definitely the cutest DD girl in New England!! I daresay that I think she’ll bring up the IQ of the employees by several many notches 😉

  16. Lisa says

    October 8, 2009 at 10:10 am

    Without a doubt, way cuter!

  17. Sara says

    October 8, 2009 at 10:12 am

    Congratulations, Hannah…hope you enjoy working at Dunks!

  18. Kathy says

    October 8, 2009 at 10:23 am

    She looks great! Perky and sweet will get her tips, no doubt! 🙂

  19. Jen Repeta says

    October 8, 2009 at 10:40 am

    Plymouth St. or N. Bedford? Drive-up or counter? Tell me which so I can visit the right place to have Hannah hand over our box of munchkins!!

  20. Manise says

    October 8, 2009 at 11:25 am

    Congrats Hannah!

    I loved those adds! Thanks for bringing them back.

  21. Cheryl S. says

    October 8, 2009 at 12:52 pm

    Sigh. I wish we had DD here. We used to, many years ago.
    I’m sure Hannah would look cute in just about anything.

  22. Teyani says

    October 8, 2009 at 12:54 pm

    go Hannah!! just blink those gorgeous eyes at people and watch that tip jar get full!
    Too funny about those videos. Gosh. I remember them all..and I still sometimes say “Time to make the donuts” as I am draggin myself out of bed early.

    She looks very cute and it will be good to have a job!

    Dear lord. 1983?!?! Am I really that old?!?! 😉 Hope Hannah gets through those early morning shifts without too much pain. Not sure if I could do it.

    Also, Hi! 🙂

  26. Doris says

    October 8, 2009 at 3:08 pm

    My husband and I still joke about those commercials…We remeber 1983 very well, as a matter of fact today in 1983 we got married. Hannah looks adorable.

  27. Chrissie says

    October 8, 2009 at 3:18 pm

    I love it! Congrats to Hannah on landing her first job that commits her to paying Uncle Sam!

    Gosh, I loved those commercials. They are still so fresh in my mind.

  28. Cookie says

    October 8, 2009 at 4:20 pm

    She is so freakin’ adorable! Clearly, her mother’s daughter.

  29. Lucia says

    October 8, 2009 at 5:00 pm

    Grant and I still quote that commercial, as in “I did two loads of laundry, cleaned the kitchen, changed and fed the boy, and raked leaves.”
    “But did you make the donuts?”

    You call it Dunks, we call it DDs.

  30. Becky says

    October 8, 2009 at 7:52 pm

    Oh, what I wouldn’t give for a Dunkin’ over here!! I Love me some Dunkin’ coffee as well!! Good luck Hannah!!

  31. Kim says

    October 8, 2009 at 10:08 pm

    Much cuter!!

  32. Hillary says

    October 9, 2009 at 9:09 am

    She’s way cuter than Fred ever was. Good luck Hannah!

  33. Andrea says

    October 9, 2009 at 10:11 am

    /if you’re a coffee drinker, you’re probably in heaven. I mean, I’ve read about how good Dunks’ coffee is. I don’t drink much coffee, but if I did, we don’t have Dunks here (much) in St. Louis. We have more Krispy Kremes than you can shake a donut at, but I don’t frequent them either.

    Hannah is adorable. I’d buy coffee from her w/ a big tip, even though I don’t drink it. I can’t believe how much she’s grown up!

  34. lisa says

    October 9, 2009 at 10:40 am

    Way cuter than Fred! I vaguely remember those commercials, but I was tv-less from fall 1979 to sometime in the late 80’s.

  35. elizabeth says

    October 9, 2009 at 11:31 am

    I love those commercials and used to quote them to my husband but he had no idea what I was talking about! It’s a regional thing – Dunkin Donuts weren’t in the South then.

  36. Kym says

    October 9, 2009 at 5:52 pm

    In our house, my husband and I always say “it’s time to make the donuts” when we wake up early and stumble out of bed for the day. It’s fun to see those commercials again!

  37. Leslie says

    October 9, 2009 at 6:15 pm

    Hey, I can relate! My first job was at a Mister Donut. I always smelled a little like coffee, sugar and grease when I got off work.

  38. maryse says

    October 10, 2009 at 10:28 am

    hahaha omg my friends and i used to do the whole routine — “were those baked fresh this morning?” with the finger over the upper lip and everything.

    i think hannah needs a mustache. congratulations to her. it’s a ridiculous uniform but she looks cute in it and at least she’s not the only one wearing it.

  39. JessaLu says

    October 10, 2009 at 6:44 pm

    Congrats to Hannah! Hopefully your DD doesn’t suck as bad as ours. ;op

  40. Sarah says

    October 12, 2009 at 2:28 am

    She certainly wins the cute competition.

    Now I want Dunkin Donuts, but they are so far away.

  41. Lifesastitch says

    October 12, 2009 at 10:18 pm

    She’s adorable!

  42. Emily says

    October 18, 2009 at 7:54 am

    She has one of my dream jobs! MUCH cuter than Fred – although there is Halloween Potential there.
