Another Krispy Kreme Tale

(this conversation actually took place in a Exxon convenience mart in Charlotte, NC -- late at night.)

Krispy Kreme delivery man (wheeling up a shrouded rack of goods next to the customer standing at the brilliantly lit Krispy Kreme display): "Sir, if you wait just a minute you can have one of these fresh donuts."

Customer (snack craved but sensing a deal is available): "Mmmm. Does that mean these old ones are about to go on sale?"

Delivery man: "No. We just throw those away."

Customer (incredulous): "You throw them away! No way."

Delivery man (very honestly and without the slightest hint of impishness) : "Well, we don't actually throw them away...we take them back and sell them to hog farmers to feed to their pigs.

Customer: "To fatten them up?"

Delivery man: "I reckon so."

Should I call Krispy Kreme to confirm this, or does it make too much sense not to be true?
