Boss brought us donuts today at work. Got ALL plain. WTF?

Your boss doesn't want to create a power struggle with the worker bees. Everyone gets the same cake doughnut. The boss knew it would create chaos with the Saturday crowd.
Stop being jelly.

Did you or anyone eat them? I can count on my hands the number of times I've had a dry donut. They're really unpleasant to me.
The only solution here is to harvest your bosses kidneys, sell them to the black market, and buy a truckload of delicious Tims Donuts
My job buys all 170ppl a large amounts of cakes once per month
Chocolate, red velvet, etc
Usually lasts us all about 2 days
Donuts come every so often
Any hot day we get freezies, jumbo freezies at that
And we also have a pizza dinner once a month

People giving you shit, OP, but I'm 100% on your side.
That's a boss playing stupid games. I hate shit like that. Also, never in a million years as a manger would I hype up a fucking dozen donuts. That's what you do every other week as a nice gift or extra "just because."
It wasn't considerate at all. If you're gonna bring something, you first try to see if anyone has any dietary restrictions (gluten free, no nuts, vegan, etc), and you buy for that and then everything else is a variety.

Father: hey son, great work on your report card. I'm going to take you out for ice cream
Son: thanks dad!
Father: ill take 1 vanilla
Son: can I have mint chocolate?
Father: a..are...you looking at my horses mouth, son!??!
Son: no dad I'm sorry noooooo
Plain donuts go well with coffee. Maybe your boss is a dipper/dunker, and assumed the rest of you were too. Nobody over the age of 8 wants chunks of chocolate frosting or sugar glaze floating around in their coffee.
I'm really, really, really trying not to be out of touch here, but I can't believe the cost of the donuts is even coming up.
Like - yes - we have plenty of hipster donut shops that charge $3 a donut for crazy ass toppings. But OP is talking about fucking Tim Hortons, lol. A dozen donuts is like $7 or $8.
Even if they DID charge a couple dollars more for glazed donuts, if you're a manager.. hyping up a treat for the team, because of a a "great quarter," you fucking splurge.

I wouldn't run to the internet and make a thread whining about it if somebody bought me a vanilla ice cream or a cheese pizza, no.
It's not really a gift though, it's a bonus and a bad one
Yo, this isn't some typical whinging, this is about potential evidence of an alien invasion. They've taken on our appearance, and now they're trying to figure out how to fit in. This is a warning to all of humanity.
but are those your first choices? if not, we're talking about two different things here.
I rarely get my first choice when someone else buys something for me and a group of others, which is what this thread is about.
And something not being my favorite doesn't make it terrible, because I'm a person, not a sentient internet meme.
I didn't realize... now that I think about it, all the weird "how do I poop?" threads on here... Oh god, they're already among us.
that dude is trying to pull some kind of middle management power move, what a dork
my step-dad is one of these types. he doesn't bring it into normal family interactions when I see him or anything, but whenever I get to talking about work stuff with him he's all on this type of sad shit.

this was a clear power move. yes the place is shutting down but he's looking for people with potential to hire for the new place. he was looking if someone had the guts to call him out on his bs but nobody did. confirming that nobody was worthy.
sorry op, you failed.
sorry op, you failed.

Boss is trying to snipe for gossip with a move like that. See who the betrayers are.
People will get fired over this, no doubt.

Yeah, but what about all your friends and family who are allergic to monosaccharides?
You didn't think about them, did you?
Your boss just wanted to wave his dick in everyone's face by being able to order a box of the same type of doughnut all at once. It's a power move and you're right to feel intimidated by this incredible display of machismo.
You should buy a box of assorted with a note saying "Great quarter guys!" in retaliation for the best passive-aggressive sensation you'll ever feel.
