Do all locations no longer mark down donuts at the end of the day?
At the locations I frequent the bakery associate would remove the donuts from the display, place the donuts in a 6 ct box or a 12 ct box, and then place a 99 cent label and $1.99 label on their respective boxes. The last time I purchased end-of-the-day donuts was about two weeks ago.
On my way home earlier at around 9pm I stopped by Albertsons to get some discounted donuts. I noticed the 6 ct box was priced at $3.99 and the 12 ct was $7.99. I was instantly reminded of seeing the same price on donuts a few days ago at another Albertsons I frequent, only then I wasn't going after donuts so I didn't think much of the price.
Is this a new policy? Were the two Albertsons I frequent an anomaly and they weren't supposed to mark down donuts at the end of the day? I would have asked someone but the bakery associate had either gone home or was out of sight.
Yes, I realize this is very much a first world problem. It's just something that grinds my gears. The donuts at Albertsons aren't the greatest to begin with. Couple that with being a little stale at the end of day and they just aren't worth the price they're asking. I only ever get their donuts when I am craving something sweet at night when I am heading home.
