Donut Explosion
“I worked the night shift at a Krispy Kreme. It was always just me and the manager. She never helped. She’d just go in the office to do ‘paperwork,’ and leave me alone for eight hours to make everything.
Because I knew she’d leave me alone, I’d take the trash out multiple times a night for a smoke sesh.
Well, one night I came back in from my smoke sesh and noticed the conveyor for the OG glazed was starting to rattle pretty badly.
There’s several things you needed to turn off prior to stopping the conveyor (glaze fountain, heating elements, dough ejector thingy). So I turned all of those off, but for some reason, the conveyor was in a weird ‘dieseling’ state, where it continues to run, but is disconnected from power.
I started to panic.
The conveyor kept going and continued to get louder and louder. I started pounding on the manager’s office door, but she wouldn’t answer. Stuff was starting to fall apar, and my baked mind can’t handle this.
I finally shoulder charged her office door down, screaming ‘WHAT THE HECK?! I NEED HELP!’ But she wasn’t in there. Looking on her security screens, I saw her car wasn’t even in the parking lot.
Once I realized that witch was gone, the conveyor finally went.
The motor took out one end of the conveyor line, and gallons of 100% pork lard fryer oil covered the floor of the entire kitchen.
I called the off-duty manager, told him what just happened, said, ‘Screw this, I’m done,’ and just left.”
