Remember Stan? When I last went by his shop he said, "You are not going to believe this. Simply not going to believe it." How could I resist a story hook like that?
He showed me a FedEx order sheet and explained. Someone in New York, at an address on Park Avenue, ordered something over 9 dozen donuts. It was a pretty specific order, too, and included a lot of his gourmet-level donuts, and the price was over $200. The order size or price wasn't the unusual part: Stan gets that sort of thing regularly. It was making an overnight delivery to the opposite edge of the continent that was kind of out there. That part alone was almost $1000. I didn't recognize either the name ordering or receiving it, and neither did Stan, but I bet they have a story for this one.
The one certain thing is that they could have saved a few hundred dollars by flying out here and bringing the donuts back in person.
I volunteered to be his courier next time this happened. He just shook his head and mumbled, "Unbelievable..."
