Sounds a bit like when Chick-fil-a first opened in GJ a few years ago. They had a promo that the first...300 or 500 (I forget how many exactly) people through the doors would get a year's supply of free sandwich coupons. Hundreds of people, my sister included, camped out in the parking lot the night before it opened. And once they got there, they could not leave their place in line for anything.

They're DONUTS!

Does unlimited really mean without number? Is there anything to stop him having the entire stock of donuts and selling them on for half-price? I would just collect unlimited donuts and go round handing them out to anyone who wanted one..

Quoth sms001 View PostAs a former Mr. Donut baker, I'd say they are superb, FRESH. I've never understood why anyone would eat them at another store though. Even an hour or so ruins their appeal.
Me, if I want a donut fix, I go to Voodoo Doughnut!Last edited by XCashier; 07-21-2014, 09:19 PM.I don't have an attitude problem. You have a perception problem.

We're getting a Panera in my town. Its a little college town. I think they're supposed to open sometime in the next month or two as they're already starting to hire. I'm wondering how many accidents there will be that day due to the size of the parking lot and the way that the road is in that side of town. People around here go nuts on opening day. Thankfully its only limited to the first 2-3 days a place is open. After that everyone is like "Meh...we've got another place ta go to in town."

Quoth Geek King View PostI've never understood the KK infatuation. To my taste, they're just too sweet. I'll just have to console myself with Bill's Donuts on the way to work. They've only made a couple of national top 10 donut lists

In-n-Out caused quite a stir when they showed up here. I avoided it for a long time.
When I finally tried it, well, I agree it's a good burger. It's not a great burger by any means. But, it just might be the best burger you can get for the price. Better burgers generally cost two, three, or four times as much as a burger at In-n-Out. So, I guess you could say it's not an awesome burger, but it's an awesome value.Supporting the idiots charged with protecting your personal information.

Quoth Mr Hero View PostNo comment. This joke writes itself.
Quoth Blue Ginger View PostAnd as an admitted sugar addict, that can happily eat a family sized bag of Allen's lollies in half a movie, I can say that those doughnuts are so full of sugar that they make me ill. 2 bites of a 'plain' one and I was completely hyper.The best professors are mad scientists! -Zoom

Never seen the appeal in KK - then again they don't exist in NZ. The only 'major' donut chain we have here is doonkin don-notz (though there is one other very small company that I only know of one shop in Auckland City, they could possibly have other shops.)
Personally I'll stick with the old-fashioned ones you get from the fish and chip shop ^_^Violets are blue,

They may be donuts, but they're FREE donuts. The emphasis is on the "FREE" part.
I've experienced a similar situation with Harvey's burgers. One day, Harvey's offered free original hamburgers to everyone. The line was incredibly long and the wait to get a free burger took forever, but we got our three. We even went to another Harvey's to get another three free burgers!
Also on the topic of free food: one of my friends lined up with his brother for about four hours for a free meal at Mandarin, an all-you-can eat Asian buffet restaurant! You were only allowed to eat for 2 hours, and the food probably wasn't the best that the restaurant had to offer, though.

We have Panera's here. There's one on the busiest street in town and I go there sometimes. Good food, good pastries. Just watch out for the cinnamon bagels. My last one set the toaster oven on fire
We got a Five Guys burger place a while ago, too. Is it bad that I was more excited about the different flavors of soda you can get there than I was about the food?When you start at zero, everything's progress.

I had the dubious pleasure of working the single busiest open of any store in our (large, international)franchise ever. We were elbow to elbow and standing in about 2 inches of spilled toppings/wrappers 20 hours a day. We had to park in a cornfield and hike into the store.This lasted for months. People are _crazy_.

And it got better....
The council in that area has racked up $21,000 in parking fines from the first week ALONE. Normally their take-in is MUCH lower than that.The best professors are mad scientists! -Zoom
