re: Anyone ever buy donuts for work?

I spent about $40 a month on donuts for remote crews, anytime I had to show up to do an inspection, donuts made me a welcome sight.
One time I wanted to get a statement from some vessel dispatchers for an accident, I knew their boss would never let me talk to them. So, I went to the dispatch office at 6:AM when the dispatchers changed shift, with donuts and a box of Popeyes biscuits. Those guys couldn't talk fast enough, of course their boss found out and was pissed at them, pissed at me. Biu the judge let my lawyer enter what I got.

I have. I don’t buy enough for everyone, but probably 3/4 of them.
I don’t see it as trying too hard or anything but
People are always gonna hate on something. Might as well be me.

I have done this for years. I buy two dozen donuts or cupcakes every month to celebrate birthdays or anniversaries for team members. If no one has a bday or anniversary, we just enjoy and take a few mins and socialize.

No, no one ever.

Or you could just be a geniunely nice person and buy donuts for everyone because it's a nice thing to do.

You could put a pile of white sugar and roach legs on the break room table and it would be gone before 10:30 am.
The ladies prefer boudin in the morning,

I liked to get there a little early to put them in the kitchen anonymously and not take any credit. Just mystery magic donuts appearing from the other side.

Yeah, last six months or so.
Not sure if in all markets, but some I frequent.

If the phat man is still alive in Knoxville, that should kill him.

I think they killed off the lemon filled as well.

You could bring in 2 year old Halloween candy and it will get eaten.

The boss used to bring a few dozen Golden donuts. Been a a while though. Now half the office is on the shot, including him.

Donuts have gotten hella expensive.

Yes. I cook for everyone more often than I buy donuts.

I'm buying the good stuff not Kroger crap. A local donut shop.
I’m usually a quality over quantity person, but this is a situation where quantity matters. You should get more than enough donuts for everyone. Better to bring in Krispy Kreme for everyone than a situation where only some get amazing donuts and others don’t get jack shite

Donuts are for closers.

Not for work but my 1st visit to the nudist colony I carried in 2 cups of coffee and 9 donuts.

Chick fil a goes over better than doughnuts in my experience

You show up to a frac location with 20 dozen glazed donuts, you don't have to do shite for that 12 hour rip.
Yes, yes I have.
Yes, yes I have.
