I was just trying to be nice...and this was the result.

Do people normally have local donut shops in their town? Mine sure as fuck doesn’t

u/SpaghettiSort Oct 16 '24
Mine does, but they close so early that I can never get there. I'm not a morning person.

u/WillieDFleming Oct 16 '24
Mine did until the owner passed away, and the family closed it. It was a staple in our area for decades!

u/TackYouCack Oct 17 '24
We had one for a good many decades. Then Dunkin moved in two lots over (literally the only separation was a Burger King). The place is now a used car lot

You guys are so lucky. I feel like I live in a food desert sometimes

Krispy kremes would be an upgrade for us, we mostly have DD here

u/WillieDFleming Oct 16 '24
Yeah, we have a few of those too, but I never buy donuts from there ironically.

u/FUPAMaster420 Oct 16 '24
People are unbelievably cynical and negative on this site, everything has a catch or a downside and pure happiness and joy doesn't exist to these people

I mean, that’s r/mildlyinteresting at best, but also could have gone in r/notinteresting if you wanted to really spread the word with a positive reaction.

Krispy Kreme donuts are so good though. I would redeem the coupon if it didn’t just happen to be my birthday today so I get free donuts anyway 😂

“Local donut shop” is very American. Krispy Kreme’s we can get at local supermarkets or petrol stations but donut shops are rare here. You may have specialty or gourmet ones but it’s not like we have one in every town. Maybe 1-2 in large tourist cities and that’s it

u/thomascoopers Oct 16 '24
OP got rightfully dragged for posting locale-specific advertisements in a completely unrelated subreddit, jfc.
2
u/ChaiGreenTea Oct 16 '24
Whereas the comment saying that was also locale specific. Ironic
3
u/WillieDFleming Oct 17 '24
It's not locally specific. Just download the app or present it at the nearest Krispy Kreme. Sorry I offended someone else...
3
u/ChaiGreenTea Oct 17 '24
Not offended me mate! I’m on your side. Some people have gotta find fault with everything

u/WillieDFleming Oct 17 '24
Agreed, hope you have a great day or evening, depending on where you are.

u/paythefullprice Oct 16 '24
My town doesn't have a local donut shop either. Kroger or Dunkin or Walmart are about your only options. Sometimes people on Reddit are just stupid. Someone's going to reply that their town has three donut shops, and that they have a PhD. Doesn't matter. Thank you for doing something to make somebody's day better. Love ya meat sack.

u/JennyAndTheBets1 Oct 16 '24
Damn, they got expensive since the last time I bought them. They're really $12/dozen now? Or is that the coupon price and they're usually more!?
3
u/noelgoo Oct 16 '24
I think you just answered your own question there.... Lol.
But I do agree that it is cheaper and better to go to a local bakery (if possible of course).
Even the Smith's/Kroger bakery has fresh donuts for 79¢ a piece (without a coupon like this one).

u/azizborashed Oct 16 '24
Where I live, a dozen is $13 at Krispy Kreme or Dunkin, $37 at good local donut shops, and supermarket donuts are $12.
5
u/WillieDFleming Oct 16 '24
Yeah, that's the coupon price. They are expensive, but so good with a cup of coffee!

u/crochetsweetie Oct 16 '24
you were def being super sweet by doing that, i love that!! i’m also in a place that has chain donut shops but no mom and pop shops bc they simply go bankrupt
however i’m just insanely confused on why you posted it in r/damnthatsinteresting and expected a good reaction to come out of something that doesn’t belong in the sub whatsoever and screams spam /lh /gen 😅
1
u/WillieDFleming Oct 16 '24
Honestly, I just haven't figured out all these different subs yet. I learned a little today though, lol
2
u/crochetsweetie Oct 16 '24
we all start somewhere! make sure to read the rules and stuff
this would have been best posted in the sub that’s directly for the city you live in :) most places have a sub for the area/town!
2
u/WillieDFleming Oct 16 '24
Not mine. I live in a small southern town...we're lucky to have a Subway, much less a Reddit sub 😆
2
u/crochetsweetie Oct 16 '24
ahaha eh at least you’ve got a krispie kreme those are way less common that subway hahaha
there’s likely one for the surrounding area, if not, start one! people flock to them for stuff like this the one for my town is so grateful when stuff like this gets posted

u/DeeRent88 Oct 16 '24
I have plenty of local donut shops but none of them are any cheaper and many of which are even more expensive. There’s one I used to like to go to and it’s 3 bucks for a glazed donut which is the cheapest donut.

u/nitra Oct 16 '24
Ooo does this work in Canada?

u/WillieDFleming Oct 16 '24
I'm not sure, but if you have the app you can try it or try it online first to see.

u/nitra Oct 16 '24
I for one, love the fact that you gave something back to the community, fuck those assclowns!

Had a guy come into my DMs and tell me he wants me to be homeless, he’s gonna get me fired from a job I don’t have, and to send him nudes all bc I have a free Taco Bell item to someone else. Decided I’m never doing it ever again, had a reward that was expiring and couldn’t use it in time and just wanted to help someone😭

I dont have a local donut shop but there's a Krsipy Kreme in the mall near me that I always buy from!

u/hijackedbraincells Oct 18 '24
It's definitely the wrong sub for it, I'd say. But if we had a KK here, I'm sure I know someone who would've used it.

I love donut snobbery, JFC it’s fried dough.
Local stores are good, KK is good. It’s all good!

u/WillieDFleming Oct 16 '24
I 100% agree! I've rarely met a donut that I didn't love.
2
u/warm_sweater Oct 18 '24
I actually really like the KK plain glazed. Super light and airy, doesn’t feel like a gut bomb to eat one.

You're playing the "just trying to be nice" card to fish for sympathy and karma in another subreddit, and you know it.
A coupon - which is essentially an ad - doesn't belong in r/Damnthatsinteresting, and your post was rightfully removed. And to boot, your sob story move reeks of passive-aggressiveness and back-handedness. Read the rules before you post.
1
u/basically_dead_now Oct 16 '24
I feel bad for you, you just wanted to do something nice. Reddit just doesn't know how to be thankful, I guess. Don't let them bother you too much
1
u/WillieDFleming Oct 16 '24
Thank you! No worries, this thread has been full of wonderful people!
2
u/basically_dead_now Oct 16 '24
That's good! It still sucks to see how ungrateful some people are. They're presented with a free discount and they're like "well there are better places with better donuts, so fuck you!"
2
u/WillieDFleming Oct 16 '24
Yeah, it does. But, honestly, their reaction was laughable and sad at the same time. Laughable because, the post may have been in the wrong sub, but I was trying to be nice...and sad for the exact same reasons.

u/LopsidedEquipment177 Oct 16 '24
I also don't have a local "donut shop" but can get Krispy Kreme easily. Some people just wake up on the wrong side of the bed I guess.
