No doughnuts for YOU!

A curious 4-year-old in Monroe, Conn., is going to have to get his doughnuts elsewhere after asking a Doughnut Inn customer the wrong question. Justin Otero's mother says the boy asked the customer if she had a baby in her belly and was told no. "My response was, 'Oh my goodness, I'm so embarrassed, I'm so sorry,'" the mom tells WFSB. But she says that while the customer was forgiving, managers refused to allow her in the store with her son, saying, "'He's not allowed in here, he's rude.'" The mom says she plans to get doughnuts somewhere else with her son, who "sort of" understands what happened but is still asking questions.

While I think this manager of this location is an idiot, the online lynch mob is already forming on a few places I’ve looked. And as usual it is full of emotional and reactionary idiots (ironic) that are ready to run this brand into the ground, over an unfortunate, but trivial incident.
This is when I really start to despise the internet.
The lady insisted that it wasn’t the doughnuts that made her fat, it was the jelly bellys.
Last time I saw my friend’s wife, I came *this* close to congratulating her on being pregnant again. Suffice it to say, I’m glad I thought about it before saying it!
It’s not a baby, darnit. It’s a fetus.
“No Hun, That’s Where Donuts Go To Die.”
ROFL!!
LOL!!!
Right ON! Trumpet that comment anywhere you get the chance!
HF
That would have been a great idea!
Only safe response for a male in today's workforce.
Last week, I had a vendor visit, young attractive female with major cleavage issues and I couldn't look her in the eye for obvious reasons. She asked me if something was wrong and I told her that I'd worked in Japan for 14 years (which is true) where eye contact was considered impolite.
It was the best I could come up with. How was I supposed to tell her the truth?
I couldn't be like the little boy who told the woman at the beach "Lady, if you're just going to drown those pups, I wouldn't mind having the one with the brown nose."
I’m the one in the family who is most likely to say rude and inappropriate things. Years ago I was driving my young boys to a game, and we saw an extremely obese woman sitting on a bench at a bus stop. My kids looked at me but they were afraid to laugh or say anything. I told them it was a good thing she was sitting in the middle, because if she sat at the end she would tip the bench over. They still remember that!
NO SOUP FOR YOU!!
Eye contact? HA HA!!
Donut Nazi! No donuts for you!
Made a mistake and asked when a lady was due. D’oh! She was not amused to say the least.
To forbid this naive 4 yr old from entering this store ever again is ridiculous.
That’s what folks are responding to.
Surprised you don’t get it.
No doughnuts for YOU!
LOL - hey, it happens.
Ok? Well then call for the manager to be fired.
Trying to take down the whole company, as if everyone there decided that, is irresponsible.
