Donut Discount
- He really wanted a donut.
Florida authorities have arrested a man who they say was flashing a fake police badge and a firearm to get discounts at Dunkin Donuts.
Pasco County police say Charles Barry made two stops at a store in Trinity on Nov. 6 and 7 before he was busted, Fox 13 reports. After the first stop, an employee told their manager about Barry and they were able to get his license plate number on surveillance video when he stopped the next day.
Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco said Barry told him he got the badge from his father, who is a police officer in Morris County in New Jersey.
And it wasn't even like a gourmet donut shop. At least our impersonators are doing stick-ups or writing tickets for the Rahm money machine.

Well from my understanding you guys do like donuts, right? Always chuckle to myself when I walk into/past dunkin donuts and theres a squad car sitting in the parking lot and a cop at the register lol. Always thought it was a rumor!
P.S. I've been waiting for a dunkin donuts subject to pop up just to reveal that/get some clarity lol.
if you give a man a donut he will eat for one day. but if you give him a badge, a gun, and a stack of contact cards...well, ya know...
You can use donuts as bait to trap real coppers, and they work to trap wannabe cops also. Neither species can resist the lure of a fresh or semi-fresh donut. Sad, but true.

When I was a young copper, the doughnut shop was the only place open late at night. Coffee was the real reason to go in there, but who could resist. Many had no resistance gene at all.
Dumpster Donuts are very good, just put in microwave for 10 seconds, good as new
there are some just plain bizarre stories out there. the most bizarre part of this is the line that his father gave him the badge.
I like doughnuts.
Most cops go to D&D for the coffee not the donuts.
The best donuts around are at Oak Park Bakery at Oak Park Av and the Ike. Best chocolate donuts anywhere, no doubt about it. Good coffee too.
Would be nice if all stores still gave a discount, unfortunately coppers are theyre own worst enemy and some now you get jack!
To defend the whole cop/donut thing... Most people don't realize the effect of the long hours, side jobs, and stress that police go through. A little sugar and caffeine go a long way sometimes and that little break of having a cup o Joe and a long john gets you up and rolling again. God bless you all.
The public is under the mistaken impression that cops are addicted to donuts. They fail to realize that it's not the donuts that draw them to Dunkin Donuts. It's the coffee that they need to keep them going during their shift.

Now do you really think coppers would go to Drunken Donuts if they did NOT have coffee?
We go for the COFFEE moron.
How can you stand those Dunkin Donuts ? They are now dry, stale, and smaller.
I miss Krispy Kreme doughnuts. :-( Huck Finn has a kick ass old fashioned doughnut. Just saying...
Personally don't touch the things. However, I do stop at DD for their coffee. Damn good coffee!!

You are so clever and witty.
It's the COFFEE, idiot. Something hot to drink. Some bright lights to help you stay awake. A clean bathroom and a flat surface in the restaurant to finish a report.
Most of the new generation carries a bottle of water and some healthy snack in the car (I couldn't believe it when I was promoted and went back to the street, but it's true). They won't TOUCH a doughnut.
It's the COFFEE. And it might be the tuna sandwich, or the bagel, or the flatbread snack. But get over your 1960's stereotype. It's old. And you're not clever or cute.
What else keeps you awake on midnights? Up with a baby all day, running on 4 hrs sleep at night -I'm addicted to Dunkin Donuts coffee. Plus there's nothing else open.

WOAH! Screw you guys. Save all that for Rahm and McCarthy. I'm not a cop nor do I know any and unless you ass holes have been living under rocks for 50 years the common thought throughout society has always been " police officers like donuts" and to see one at a dunkin donuts makes me chuckle a bit. A simple "we actually just go for the coffee" would have done it. I'm not even going to ask why you all felt offended because I truthfully wouldn't even care.

Duncan Donuts has the best Coffee known to mankind . It's the only coffee my wife likes and she goes there just to by a bag of it -- and NOT the donuts. Back in 94-95 I was an on-site Project Manger at a construction project in the west loop for 18 mo's (in a Fed Bldg). My FIRST stop after getting off the the train was Duncan Donuts just for two cups of their coffee.
on a funny D-D note: I wish the Police in my Village would go to our local Duncan Donut shop. They'd close it down on the spot and arrest all the 'help' for selling old, REALLY OLD donuts, and I'm not joking. A few months ago I bought a French Donut there I think they made somewhere around 2007. It was hard as a fricken rock! I didn't find this until we got home and tried to eat it. Needless to say we never got donuts there again. (I should have been pissed but it was too funny for what they pulled, the fuckers lol.)
ps: That Starbucks stuff isn't 'coffee'. Anything sold-served by a person called a Barista, usually named Chad, Lance, or Bruce, is not 'Coffee'.
there is not much open at night in many areas that are suitable places to stop for lunch or a cup of coffee.
people who are out and about at that time of night tend to gravitate to just about any place that is convenient, open, and has relatively clean bathrooms.
donut shops are one of the few places that have traditionally been open 24/7.
as far as I know, most cops are people so it should surprise no one that cops show up at donut shops in the dead of night.
not a cop

Is there some reason you're incapable of calling the place by its name, Dunkin Donuts?

I beg to differ; you went through the trouble of giving us a history lesson on the origin of your mistaken 'belief' about us and doughnuts and then you went to the extent of going back and copying and pasting the time of the comments that you 'truthfully don't care about'.
We're just trying to clear up your little doughnut misconception for you. Don't get so dramatic.

Go to Oak Park Bakery, Oak Park Av and the Ike. The best chocolate donuts around. And very good coffee. Wife works in OP is the only reason I am around there. Dunkin Donuts coffee is good but the donuts suck shit, they were good when the little guy got up early to make the donuts and they were made in each store. Now they are mass produced in India and come here on a slow fucking boat. They suck.
Two words. Wolfs Bakery. Over and out.
I am glad to see that Culbert and I have the same opinion about Starbucks.
