Today in Kansas City any high school or college graduate could receive a free dozen doughnuts at Krispy Kreme.

Have you seen any such giveaways or promotions in your community?

The line of cars waiting for this had to be at least 100 deep this morning when I drove past to work. It stretched around a corner and I couldn’t see that the end of the line was at Krispy Kreme. I seriously assumed they’d opened a COVID testing site somewhere up the road. I can’t imagine waiting for hours of some doughnuts.

None. But they don’t do graduation related giveaways here in a normal year, either.

Ours was long and took about 45 minutes. It went pretty fast because all they did was ask a question and hand them out. They were already sorted and pre-boxed.

You mean _recent_ graduate, or 2020 graduate, correct? They wouldn’t give me some donuts if I drove up and said, “Class of '76, represent!”, right?
