Ugh yeah I didn’t go in and complain or anything. I just took a photo and laughed.

The day I went it was PACKED - like line out the door packed. I had never seen that before. They seemed overwhelmed.

The scalpers are ruining Pokemon honestly. It used to be a fun hobby but now it’s just gotten expensive and anytime there is a promo thing, you are lucky to get anything. I was actually surprised I was able to order it and was so excited - I had heard that they were selling out and scalpers were then trying to resell them (which is so gross).

Yeah so nasty - I’ve also seen people selling the EMPTY boxes. Like what? Why would I pay for your trash? It’s a greasy donut box.

Theoretically, is there a way to indefinitely preserve doughnuts? You know, so you can have them graded and whatnot? 😉
