My donut lady won’t let me buy just 1 donut!

[desslok]

I haven’t been to my local donut shop for several months, trying to watch my girlish figure. A little asian mom and pop place that makes actual GOOD donuts, not those frou-frou trendy places that have to throw crazy toppings on to mask a crappy donut. I decided to stop and just grab a donut for the ride home. I walk in:

Donut lady: “ welcome” in strong Southeast asian accent
me: “can I get a plain glazed?”
donut lady: “and?”

* at this point it ruined my plan to just get one. how do i respond to “and?”, what do I do, gotta decide quick so i don’t sound like an idiot

me:”and a glazed old fashioned”
DL: “and?”

* ah crap, gotta pick another

Me: “ummmmm, a crumb cake and thats it”
DL: “thank you, 3 dolla”

Say you’re with immigration and you only want one donut

[EliKoehn]

Why couldn't you plainly say that you wanted only one donut?

[AdamWW]

Any lady that limits your nut... she gots to go!

At least she didn't throw your money back at you and say "You go now. You no come back. No come back." It happened to me at a Chinese restaurant. Why do these sorts of things happen to only me and nobody else I know?

A similar thing happened to me at an all you can eat chinese place. I worked in a shop across the street but i didn’t get a paid lunch. Back than, early 90s, it was $3 for all you can eat and was pretty good. I would go once or twice a week and get it to go to take back to the shop. If you got it to go they gave you one of those folding styrofoam containers with the 1 large section and 2 smaller compartments. I would fill the sections with whatever meat, orange chicken, broccoli beef, sweet and sour pork etc. I would pile it on best I could but of course there remained some empty space. So I spackled in all the holes with fried rice and then mashed down the lid to compress it into a sort of chinese food “cake”. I would then take it to the register and hold the lid closed with one hand and pay with the other hand. One time the lid popped open while I was getting my wallet out. At this point she grabbed a new container and said very sternly in her broken english, “New rule! up here 3 dolla!”. pointing to the midway point of the container, so basically half full, then she closed it and pointed to top of lid “to here, 5 dolla!”

I never went back again. They closed down a few months later.

Given the amount of routine food waste from buffets, I'm a little surprised they'd be that stingy, wow...

Lol, they always ask that, just say “that will be all, thank you.”
They usually throw in a free donut hole

One glazed donut and one happy ending

Yeah sounds easy, but not when they catch you off guard. I mean sure, we all have second nature responses we don’t have to think about, like when the sales guy asks if you want the extended warranty, or the ugly dancer asks if you want a lap dance, etc. But when the donut lady catches you by surprise you just can’t think what to say fast enough, and she is moving the sugar coated tongs around and opening and closing them ready to snatch the next sweet donutty goodnesss.
