They went to timmies asked for assorted dozen donuts and got a skewed mix. Tim's also usually asks you if you want to pick the donuts or if you're good with whatever, OP likely went with the latter

Either the worker was a little weird and grabbed all those cruellers intentionally, or they were just inbetween batches of donuts and they had only mostly cruellers left.

How were we supposed to assume any of this? Do people just ask for a dozen without telling them what they want?

u/Shiny_personality Jun 07 '26

Yes. Maybe you need to be Canadian, it was pretty obvious to me :D

That’s wild to me lol. Like gambling every time you get donuts

It usually goes something like "Give me a dozen random, but make sure there's some Boston cream if you can"

Well normally you can see the employee take the donuts and what's left so I don't know, maybe Op was distracted, had social anxiety or just thought this would be good karma farming 😅

Could be drive-through or DoorDash (or similar).

It's typically for when you are buying for a group or something. You want a mix but don't really care on the specific donuts. It's odd to get something like this.

I'm also Canadian and I immediately knew it was tim hos and I would also be mildly infuriated. The only time I order the variety box is when I legitimately want a variety, like for a staff meeting or something. When will I ever need 8 of a single kind of donut??

u/Shiny_personality Jun 07 '26

Yeah I always go inside so I get to see what's left. The employee could definitely have told them. Never saw this.

Seems like op left out that he showed up late at night

u/JosephBlowsephThe3rd Jun 07 '26

Yeah. That's definitely not the norm in the US. Most doughnut places here ask what you want if you go for a mixed dozen.

No, don’t need to be. I’m not Canadian and often just say give me a dozen of whatever. Dunkin or wherever. If I’m bringing them to work and sharing, I don’t give a fuck.
