...Actually, I ate more of them than I probably should.
So, funny story of the week! I work at a catering facility, and we do a lot of inter campus deliveries to office parties and whatnot. The math department ordered fifty donuts exactly (why they didn't make things easier for us by ordering 6 dozen or 4 dozen is beyond me). However, somewhere along the line, there was a miscommunication. My theory is that, since people normally order donuts by the dozen (Which is what you should do, really. Who doesn't like a few extra donuts???), the person taking the order assumed that the math department was ordering by the dozen. So, we boxed and delivered.....Fifty dozen donuts. Needless to say, the math department was not happy. You think they would have noticed when we sent them a bill for 300+ dollars earlier. They are the math department, surely they could tell that 300+ dollars was a bit much for fifty donuts.
So, we gave them the donuts, but then bought back one third of them. Work then turned into a donut party. We ate them all in a week, using excuses like, "I just made a delivery! I deserve a donut!" or "I just finished my shift! I deserve a donut!!!" And that is how Kayla got to have free donuts everyday last week!! Hooray!!
The moral of the story is to always check your receipt. Otherwise, you may end up with fifty dozen donuts more than you were planning on.
And by the way, 50 dozen donuts equals 600 donuts. Just in case you were wondering.
Love and Sparkles! (And donuts!!!)

Holy bananas. Six. Hundred. Doughnuts... And why on earth would they be upset with that many extra doughnuts?! Party all week long!
ReplyDeleteI think it was more of they were upset that they had to pay for that many donuts.
