Yeah under the pressure of 'what sort of Donut do you want?' and the long queue behind me I usually default to 'Boston Creme'. I think I'm missing out on a world of sugar and fat filled pleasures......

Have to strongly disagree and say that it is similar in texture, construction and (I have to guess on this one) taste to a giant zit!

I'd rather eat caulk.........and have............on several occasions.

Apple fritters, Dutchies, plain old-fashioned = good
Boston Creme, Double chocolate (aye right - that's chocolate ), green+brown one?? = bad

First time we all came over as a family, we went to Timmies and asked for coffees ...... ok ...... about 10 minutes later we'd all decided what type of coffees we were having, then we wanted donuts ..... omg ..... I ended up muttering apologies as the line-up curled out of the door and up the street ....... but nobody seemed to bothered except us!

I ****ing loath people who eat donuts. All that analysis while they ask for one of these and two of those and, no wait, put the first one back, maybe three brown timbits and two white ones. Dither, dither. I used to wish they'd drop dead in the store but they're invariably so wide and heavy that climbing over their corpses would be another cause of delay.

Exactly the sort of behaviour that would justify a customer going postal.

By the sound of it you hate people who are picky about their donuts.

I eat donuts...but only after someone else has picked them and bought them to work. It would be irrational to hate innocent consumers of free donuts...not that rational seems to count for much in your world.

Im not picky, I've never met a donut I didnt like. I tend to favour sour cream glazed or walnut /cherry sticks. I used to go for the apple fritters, but they have got so small its not worth the bother.

Hope your medication kicks in soon!

Oh quite. People who just take whatever donuts are thrown across the counter and stuff them into their mighty maws are aesthetically displeasing but they're less of a bother. The problem is that they're the minority, most people in a donut shop seem to regard being there as a social event rather than just a way to bloat as much as possible as quickly as possible. I suppose they go from the donut shop to cluttering their local Curves.

I don't think so. I think lots of people want to choose and then we all get held up because the customers don't share a language with the donut shop staff.

So now you are "Canadian".

It's got nothing to do with citizenship and all that palaver.

It's all about Timmie's and donuts and being "morbidly obese".

Just don't get to my stage.

Cheers
Steve
