true story, I used to want to eat cake doughnuts with ketchup when I was a youngster. Why? Wolverine Vs. Wendigo, that's why.

Holy shit, wtf.
Thats just an unfinished doughnut.
Doughnuts need some sweetness.
Somthing fishy is going on, maybe your boss got them free.

You think this dude is buying donuts for the Rockefellers?
Wut, they taste like shit. The toppings and fillings are the only thing giving Tim Hortons doughnuts any taste.
I've literally never seen a plain yeast donut. I can't even find a picture online that isn't cinnamon-sugar or glazed.
I spent much of this thread thinking that the doughnuts were literally plain.
But they have sugar on top?
That doesn't sound bad.

I still remember the first time I had a sour cream donut. I was late getting to the break room the day someone brought in donuts and all that was left were sour creams so I figured it was better than nothing and ate it. God damn I was depriving myself up to that point by ignoring that donut. It reminds me how I'd always skip over carrot cake because I thought it wouldn't be good until I tried it and realized how wrong I had been.
- It's the cheapest option.
- He doesn't have to worry about people complaining about "But I don't like...flavour"

Its literally not.
In fact, you have to go out of your way to get 1 specific type of donut.
Sounds like a cool boss. I would usually be the guy who brings in donuts for meetings at the office. Cheap bosses suck.
Damn millennials, wanting to get treated like their work means something and their lives are worth decent wages. Haha.
Your boss probably got to TH and they didn't have enough plain donuts so he waited for them to heat up more so he could get a whole dozen.
maybe he wants you to take one into his office and talk of how you like glazed donuts and how its sticky and you like licking your fingers and lips during and afterwards. He wants to hear how messy you get the glaze and how you enjoy cleaning it up.
you will get your glaze trust me.
you will get your glaze trust me.
Eat yeast donuts that come fresh out of the fryer. Preferably fried in pig lard. It will beat any "old" glazed donut you ever had and free you of the fixed idea that plain can't be good.
Thanks for the suggestion. Not heard of yeast donuts so will definitely try if I have the chance.
That's odd dude. Real odd. Do they even usually have a dozen plain ones on hand at Timmy's?
It's the same as if he walked in and said:
"Oh hey guys I'll bring sandwiches to eat"
'Umm these are just two pieces of white bread with nothing between them.'

It was a test. He was seeing if you guys would solve the problem of the plain donuts. He knew you would complain but he was looking for your solution. You could've salvaged them and modified them with items around your building, but instead you just gave in. He sees that as a reflection of your work and is now worried that once the place closes down you won't be prepared.
Mikey Jr. Given how irritated you are, you earned your plain donut, tbh. Never understood people who complain about something that's absolutely free.
Do you also think pizzas like Marinara or Margherita are not real pizzas?
Be grateful or say nothing. "It's free, but it's not good enough" type complaining is just terribly ungrateful.
It's absolutely not the same. That's not a sandwich, but a plain donut is a donut.

Bad post. If you're going to bring me carbs, they better be worth eating.
Well the only hole in my post is I haven't actually tried them before so I can't knock them yet lol
Shit's wack, OP. Plain glazed would have been odd enough, but no glaze? Lol.
People who are saying "plain donuts are good, mm mmm!" are missing the damn point. Everyone knows that you bring a variety of donuts when you're buying for a group. Different people like different things, duh.

Glazed is all you need. Most those other fancy flavors just waste slots. Just like Sakurai /s
The only time this is true is when you've bought a fresh box of Krispy Kremes for yourself and no one else. That's when it's acceptable to buy all glazed.
Otherwise, respect people's natural desire for variety and choice.
Yeah, fuck that guy for bringing in free donuts. If it doesn't meet your personal standards, what's the point? Don't try to make people happy unless you do it according to the official non-written rules.
So what if it made some people happy? He did it wrong!
Come on, you seriously make it sound like he did something offensive, haha
You've almost certainly eaten a yeast doughnut before even if you don't know what they are.
But yes, fresh is best.
He did do it wrong, by bringing the plainest and most boring "treat" possible.
People who don't get how the boss messed up must be socially inept, completely and utterly inexperienced in working with a team, or both.
A box of plain donuts is the lukewarm black decaf coffee of the desert world.
No, I made it sound like he missed the most basic memo ever on how to bring refreshments for a group.
Personally, if this ever happened to me, I'd be like "cool" and thank the boss, because I love plain baked goods with my coffee. But I'd definitely have a private moment of mirth at the thought of someone bringing the blandest plainest donuts for a whole group of people.
It's like, Happy Halloween, here's an apple for your trick or treat bag.
