Dunkin Donuts Jelly Conspiracy
My favorite donut hole is a jelly donut hole. So when I get some Munchkins, I ask for 'mostly' jelly, and glazed and chocolate glazed. It never fails, however, that they ignore the 'mostly' part. They are downright stingy with those jelly Munchkins!
Today, out of 25 Munchkins, I got 6 jelly, at least 12 chocolate, and the rest glazed. Sounds to me like that was 'mostly' chocolate! Is that what I asked for? Nooo. It's like he knew that the chocolate was my least favorite of the three. I just like a little variety.
Are the usually running low on jelly when I go in there? Well, it looks like it, but you have no idea what they're hiding in the back. Does that mean they're trying to save some for the other customers who come after me? Well, they should've made more then!
Do the jelly ones cost more to make? Tough. You priced them equally, so you should treat them equally.
What if it's some combination of the two? They cost more to make, so maybe they don't make quite so many, so they're always running low. Or maybe they're not really running low, but love to make it seem that way so you won't be greedy and ask for a lot.
Well, I'm decided now. Next time I'm asking for half jelly and half glazed. I'll throw them a bone. They can (and will) give me 13 glazed and only 12 jelly.
Stay tuned, because if this 'half' method yields an even greater disparity, I'll let you know. And if they seem to run out, maybe I'll be bold enough to ask if they have more in the back.

I was in there the other day and they had plenty of donut holes, including jelly, but I wasn't in the mood for more donut holes. Curse the luck!
They were, however, nearly completely out of bagels. Fortunately I wanted wheat, and nobody likes wheat.
If you're going to buy a bajillion bagels for your place of work, people, how about calling ahead and placing an order so the DD isn't wiped out?
Nawww.. that'd be too nice to them.
