When I first saw this story, the bland headline (“Frederick Doughnut Shop Workers Say Business Shut Down Without Paying Them”) did not prepare me for the wonderfulness I would ultimately find:
A doughnut shop in Frederick, Maryland, abruptly shut down last week, and workers said they’re owed weeks in pay.
Glory Doughnuts & Diner on W. Patrick Street felt like home, its employees said. That all changed early Friday; the landlord shut the shop down over months of unpaid rent.
Without warning, 10 people were out of a job. They said they knew the business had been struggling, and some hadn’t been paid for several pay periods.
“They had us working when they didn’t know if they were ever going to be able to pay us,” former general manager Kiska Greenberg said Monday.
Ex-employee Shelby Turner said she was disappointed.
“I really cared for them. I felt like they were part of the family,” Turner said. Her paychecks began to bounce in recent months, she said.

Based on the employee comments in the article, no one should have been surprised. I’d have jumped ship long before this.
Once a week he was given the checks for the Workers. He would lock up the checks and hustle to the bank to cash his check first. Then he would pass them out after he got his money. It sounded funny, but he was miserable.
Lots of stories he told me about that fly by night operation. He did not last long. He went out disabled with a rotator cuff injury. They paid him for many months before finally settling.
It reminds me a lot of a stellar SNL spoof from the glory days of Phil Hartman: Gay Communist Gun CLub. -——(you had to be ALL THREE to join—2 out of 3 was not enough (Caller: “HI! I love guns, I,m a Communist, but I am not gay! Could I still;;;”” NO! NO! You have to be all three.!
They had a gay friend making the holes in the donuts.
No crullers?
These two knuckleheads assumed being vegan lesbians was enough to bring in customers and keep the cash flowing. “Wokism” can only destroy. It creates nothing.
Ew!
Ping!
Is there any question about that? Did you see their picture?
I don’t trust that tatooed lady to wash her hands.
Excellent, knowledgeable observation.
They didn’t want any meat in their holes...................😜
That is what we normal people call 'a CLUE'!...................
Have one of those reporters sit down with this gal while she signs up with BEACON and see if the claim reveals an employer in good standing with Maryland's Division of Unemployment Insurance.
If not, then it's punch down time, starting with IRS Form 3449a.

“Why 10 employees? It should be just two of them until they get enough money coming in to hire another employee. How hard can it be to make a donut?”
It’s called hard work, I guess they weren’t serious. Probably just a “Look at us lesbians” business plan.
I got an idea.....How about just making good donuts, that people like to eat? How about not force feeding gender politics on people who just want a coffee & donut on their way to work?
