Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Don't-Got Donuts

Yep. I suspect that they have transformed into thinking of themselves as competition for Starbucks rather than doughnut shops.

True. When I was a young man, DD had great donuts, but rarely are they good anymore. Haven't been in decades.

Even back then, though, we all preferred the donuts at Donut Man (I think that was the name), which was a mom and pop donut shop.

The mcdonalds around here are selling Krispy Kremes. Still not as good as local shops, but miles better than anything Dunkin Donuts has.

Most of the DDs only make a certain number of donuts each day and when they're gone, they're gone. If I don't drive through by 9am on weekend day or by 10am on weekday, they don't have much, if any, to choose from.

There was a bakery in Bridgeton that was family owned for generations. Best baked goods in town, in particular, Italian bread.
Always good conversation around the coffee machine in the mornings.

The owners decided it was time to retire. Sold it to Hispanics (Bridgeton is now 53% Mexican). Prices went up, and quality?
Apparently the new owners don't know a damn thing about baking! Nasty stuff.

The morning crowd doesn't show up there any more. Another little slice of small town Americana ruined by diversity.

There was a time in America where the Italians were also considered immigrants and the lowest of the low. Same with Irish Germans Chinese etc...

But I get it is always cool to hate on the new guys.

They used to have that old White guy that got up at 4 in the morning to get up there. Remember the commercial?? “Time to make the donuts!”.

Now, they’ve got some lazy Gen Z/milennial, minority group du jour, who gets up there late at 0845, hoping to hell the Hispanic dude showed up and already did all the hard work….

There's some flavor of Middle Eastern family (Lebanese? Syrian? Hell if I know) that bought a gas station near me, and the daddy makes killer donuts every morning.

Great stuff, if you can get over the donut maker looking a hell of a lot like this guy.

Oh, my bad. I forgot that diversity is our strength.
It's working out so well.

Smh. Were the Italians, you laud, a bad immigrant group?

Many thought so...

Progress is hard for some.

They're not called Dunkin' Donuts anymore. Name was changed to just Dunkin.

Its best to get donuts these days at Brown Shoe Fit store and pepperoni pizza at pier 1 imports, if they aren't out of pepperoni.

That explains a lot. Mainly a coffee shop, now.

Progress?
Explain to me how the flood of invaders from third-world countries across our southern border can be considered progress.
They won't learn our language.
They have no respect for our rule of law.
They do not assimilate.
They place a strain on our medical system, our school systems, and other vital public services, all at the taxpayer's expense.

In contrast, European immigrants came here with skills and a solid work ethic and willingness to build a better life for their families through hard work without govt handouts. They learned our language and took pride in calling themselves Americans. They built this Country.

Different class of people.
Different times.
You can keep your so-called "progress".

That's our fault not their's. We need to have a complete remodel of our immigration system starting with stopping illegals then increasing the ease and numbers of the immigrants that we want and need to become Americans and have the become legal paying members of our country.

Your logic is beyond flawed.

Good luck.

Agreed. We need to make it less desirable to come here.

Are you from Jersey seriously complaining about immigrants?

Just like fast food places. Order food at 11:45 and have to drive around with 3 other cars and wait.

Like...you couldn't predict that people eat lunch around noon and actually make some food when that's literally the only thing you do?

Go have yourself a donut. You'll feel better. LOL!
