I love donuts. They are my favorite food in the entire world. So, I've been looking forward to trying Glam Doll ever since I saw them listed on a top 10 list of best donuts in the country. Sadly, this place is a disaster and their below-average donuts are the least of their problems!
I went with 2 other friends on a Saturday night. We ordered 3 different types of donuts- the salted caramel, the vanilla cream filled chocolate donut and a raspberry filled with vanilla icing. The only good one was the raspberry. The salted carmel only had a small bit of carmel in the middle and the rest was just a dry blah donut. The cream filled donuts are my favorite kind but the cream filling had no flavor. The donut itself was not soft and airy either. It was hard and crumbly. Blech!
The worst part happened after that though. My friends and I decided to mark our excursion to glam doll by taking our photos in their photobooth. It is literally lasts one minute, snaps 4 photos and you're done. In that short period of time, someone had stolen my friends coat. Considering there were only 4 other people in the entire place, I found this to be completely shocking. We had spoken to one of the couples and I highly doubt that they or the other two women there took her coat.
When we went up to the girls behind the counter to tell them that the coat was stolen they couldn't have cared less. They actually said "Oh, well a lot of crazy stuff happens in the back of our store. Just a few days ago I found a dead body in the dumpster while I was throwing out our trash." UM EXCUSE ME?!?! I noticed that they had a security camera and I asked them if they could look at the footage. They said that it actually didn't work and was left there from the previous tenant. We asked if they had seen anybody walk in or out quickly and they said no. Again, they could not have cared less. I guess when you find a dead body in your dumpster a missing coat doesn't seem like that big of a deal. Were the embarrassed though that her coat was stolen from their store? Nope. Did they even offer her a free donut? Nope! They didn't give a crap. Personally, though I have no evidence to support this, I believe that an employee is the one that stole the coat. I don't believe that one of the few patrons in the store, two of whom we spoke to, would steal her coat. I don't think that someone strategically ran in and out of the store in the 60 seconds we were in the photobooth either. The employees' lack of emotion or empathy really made me wonder what their part in this was.
So...the moral of the story: overpriced, overhyped blah donuts, bad service, bad store and bad experience. Save your money, your calories and possibly a burglary and don't go near this crap hole!
Oh, and here is the link to the body in the dumpster....
