Why doing a FUNDRAISER with KRISPY KREME DOUGHNUTS is a very bad idea
Be prepared. This is some one of a rant, but mostly I am sharing my experience with this company.
My son Bryce goes to Head start, a Government funded pre-school for underprivileged children and children with disabilities. I am the chairperson for the Parent Group. We plan all the extra things for the kids, the parties, dinners, end of the year field trip, graduation and the like. The Parent Group receives NO money from the government, we are allowed to have two fundraiser's every school year. And those fundraiser's have to KICK BIG BUTT, because most of the parents do not participate, and needed items are very costly. For example it cost *sigh* $150 to use the school bus to go 40 miles for 5 hours. The only money we have is money that we (the parent group) raise.
This year we picked Krispy Kreme Doughnuts for our Fall fundraiser. For 2 reasons, orders over 250 dozen you received FREE delivery (We where told if 250 dozen where not sold, you had to pay roundtrip for delivery) and doughnuts don't have to be refrigerated.
Now, this is why having a fundraiser with Krispy Kreme Doughnuts is a very bad idea. My vice-chairperson called our order of 232 dozen doughnuts in on Thursday. We where all prepared to bite the bullet and pay $63 for delivery. The Weenie from Krispy Kreme told her you need 250 for delivery period. WHAT THE FREAKING HELL Weenie?!? You told us we had to sell 250 for FREE delivery, not to get delivery. GET THIS there is NO FREE delivery. None, nada, ZIP. Then, why where we told there WAS!?! *breathing* We have to sell 18 more JUST TO GET DELIVERY, AND PAY $63 FOR DELIVERY. (or drive to Altoona) When we where told delivery was FREE if you sold over 250 dozen. That is $63 dollars more than we can give to a needy family, to our local library, to clean up the park, etc.
I wouldn't be one to stop you, if you decided to go over there and tell them how they are horrible weenies for jipping underprivileged children. SHAME ON KRISPY KREME!

Wow, that does sound like they're weanies. Big weanies. I never liked Krispy Kremes to begin with. Much too gooey. Now I have another reason not to like them much.
You're kool-aid dying turned out fabulous. As did that pink cardigan (can you tell I've been a little behind in my blog reading lately?)
