A downtown donut mafia
March 29, 2007Every shop that sells donuts within two blocks of where I work, sells them for the same price: 80 cents. Even though on other items these same shops have widely varying prices. Like the price for a small carton of milk goes from 50 cents to $1.05, candy bars are also in the same range.
And yet the donuts are the same price everywhere. Even when the shop bakes their own, like the Heitzman Bakery down the block from here. Same price as the snack shop in the lobby downstairs, which buys their donuts from somewhere else. Different shops, different donut vendors, same price.
There has to be a conspiracy going on. A donut mafia has conspired to set a uniform price on donuts, at least here downtown. Forget scandals like Governor Fletcher’s firing of public servants for political reasons, the Attorney General should be focusing his resources on the donut mafia problem. That’s way more significant than investigating a Republican governor firing a bunch of Democrats.
