Donut Day Disappointment
You know I love donuts. Maybe you do too. And today, June 5 is National Donut Day. So, with the promise of a free donut, I went with anticipation to an unnamed large US donut chainstore.
I went up to the counter and I asked if a coffee roll counted as a free donut on this National Donut Day. The woman told me no, they’re too big. Then I asked if I could have any other donut for free and was told I had to purchase a drink first. I walked out.
A few weeks back, I made an afternoon visit to the same donut shop but in a different town. I got one of the last donuts in the shop and later on I discovered that It was small and rock hard. I now understand that this donut chain has stopped making fresh donuts altogether. They now merely truck the goods to their various outlets.
I think they should hand out fresh donuts everywhere for free on National Donut Day. Otherwise, what’s the point? In any case, the best choice is always your local small donut bakery.

I don’t suppose this large unnamed U.S. donut chain featured a mustachioed spokesman in its commercials who begged to differ. If so, he is rolling in his grave.
