The Awful Truth About Closing Time At The Donut Shop

I am not one that discriminates against donuts.  I don't care if it's from Dunkin, Krispy Kreme, a grocery store or a "mom and pop" shop, I love them all.  And it's not like I didn't realize what happens to donuts at the end of the day, I just prefer not to think about it.  That's why I probably could have gone the rest of my life without seeing a Dunkin’ Donuts employee TikTok video that reveals just how many donuts they throw out after closing.

Again, I *KNOW* this happens, but I can think of nothing sadder that perfectly delicious donuts just being dumped in the trash can.  And I (and probably you) would think that they could be donated, but something tells me that, especially in the wake of Covid, there is wayyyy too much red tape to deal with to get this done.
