It isn’t just a one-time offer — those with vaccine cards can return every single day for free donuts through the end of 2021.

Starting Monday, Krispy Kreme is offering customers an extra incentive to get vaccinated — a free Original Glazed doughnut to those who present their vaccine card at any Krispy Kreme store in the U.S.

And it isn’t just a one-time offer — those with vaccine cards can return every single day for free donuts through the end of 2021.

I think it's in bad taste to reward people based on being vaccinated. Maybe as bad as when a company becomes politicized or goes "woke". Usually its not wise for the bottom line, depending where they're located.

It looks bad to deny service to gay people or to print BLM on a coffee cup. There's always a huge portion of your customers who are alienated.

As Jimmy Fallon said last night, "Really? I want to meet the person who says 'Well, I wasn't going to get one, but for a free donut, sure!'"

People, it's a marketing strategy to get people in the door because they know they are going to probably buy more (because who eats just 1 Krispy Kreme?) and they will more than likely buy at least a cup of coffee even if they resist the temptation to buy more doughnuts. Now if they offered a dozen free doughnuts... j/k, I already got my first shot.

Denial isn't the same as rewarding...

A person without a vaccine card is still able to get a glazed doughnut... just not free.

A denial of service is a denial of service free, charged, nor otherwise.

Not even tempted. There isn't a Krispy Kreme near me, anyway.
