Donuts at the Gas Pump


--by HapBee, posted Oct 9, 2007

Yesterday morning on my way to work I stopped at our local gas station to fill up my gas tank.  While paying inside I also picked up a dozen Krispy Kreme donuts and a handful of napkins.  I then went outside and offered donuts and napkins to everyone who was pumping gas into their cars. 


If they took a donut I also gave them a Smile card.  It was so much fun!  One truck had a couple of burly construction workers inside. The driver apparently was inside paying.  I offered donuts to the two guys who eagerly took one and then asked if they could take one for their buddy -- nice of them to think of him, too, huh?!  The only downside was that I ended up with three leftover donuts and guess who ended up eating them?  I couldn't let them go to waste! :)
