One guy's donut shop job has an amazing perk---they get to bring home a couple dozen donuts at the end of every shift.

This is a real perk for those who work at a certain donut chain, and I've experienced it first hand. The person who works there really is allowed to bring two dozen donuts home per day! The issue you quickly run into is that you probably don't know 24 people who will want to eat donuts. It's just you and your immediate family, or maybe some neighbors, versus a massive amount of snacks. After a few days of this, you'll be pretty sick of donuts---or maybe you'll fall in love with them and set your diet to the wayside. 

As a donut shop worker, this guy had the perfect place to bring his two dozen daily donuts: to class. This makes perfect sense, and if you're in high school or college, you could easily gain popularity this way. After all, basically everyone loves donuts. Well, everyone except one of u/rook218's classmates. She just wants to ruin it for everyone. 

Next up, this teen driver was forced to keep a bunch of customers waiting, all because the gas attendant refused to ring them up without an ID.

    Font - The dozen donuts I've been bringing in every Monday doesn't count as my 'snack day' contribution?? Well I guess I'll have to rectify that!

    Font - Back in high school (around 2010) I used to work the closing shift at Dunkin Donuts on Sunday nights. Per company policy, I could box up two dozen donuts to bring home with me before throwing the rest out. One dozen went with my dad to work in the morning, one came with me to school - specifically my Spanish class, which was a pretty small and pretty tight knit group (tends to happen when a lot of course work is practicing conversations with each other).

    Font - This practice of bringing donuts every Monday sparked an idea in one of my classmates' heads (she's Anne in this story). Since it's so nice to have donuts once a week, we should do a weekly snack day where everyone can bring something in! They decided this would be on Thursday, and I said I'd just continue bringing in donuts every week on Monday as my contribution. Everyone was very OK with this, except for Anne.

    Font - No, no, no... this snack day was Thursday, and if you aren't going to bring in a snack on a Thursday then you aren't welcome to parcitipate. I was pretty ped, but what can you do, it's only one snack one time.

    Font - Then I got to thinking about it. I was only required to bring a snack, not something sweet or delicious or even palatable. As long as it was edible then it counted.

    Font - My next closing shift I grabbed an extra empty dozen box. I went to the store on Wednesday night and got a five pound bag of potatoes. I washed them and put them right in the box, and dropped off the box early in the morning to my Spanish classroom so nobody

    Font - Everyone shuffled back to their desks, and Anne tried desperately to grasp a new argument out of thin air but it was not coming. I finished my potato triumphantly and brought the rest home for my mom after school. The box was checked, and she could not try to exclude me from the weekly snack day anymore. Everyone else in class who thought she was a bit over the top thought the antic was hilarious after they got over the initial disappointment.

    Font - Edit: the story is real. If you can't fathom a teenager eating a potato raw out of spite then I don't know what to tell you except you should get out more.

    Font - LitMaster11 Imagine coming up with an idea based almost entirely upon one of your classmates bringing in free donuts every week, and then deciding that their contributions aren't enough.

    Font - mnordin You could also have let the Sunday donuts simmer a few days and bring them in on Thursday. Nice and crunchy.
