A & P Donuts — Restaurant in Duarte

Okay! So, on my WiFi, I noticed it had the name of this place as an access point and thought it would be nice to discover a new place to have coffee while surfing the web. I also noticed I needed a password to log on.

When i entered the place, the dull half tiled floor and old plastic yellow McD's benches didn't put me off, but after asking for the password to the WiFi as I ordered did.

She hesitated, then said yes you need a password. I asked her for it, and she said "what kind of doughnut you want." It was rehearsed, I noticed. So, I replied off script, with, "why don't you get that password for me, while I decide." She didn't budge. Just stood there, tongs in hand, ready to sell another doughnut and withhold the WiFi password to ANOTHER CUSTOMER. So, I repeated my request with a stare. She returned with the only answer that would let me know it wasn't going to work: "its the phone number to here.".

See? Because working here as long as she apparently has, would have exposed her to this question, and "the password is the phone number" is an easy thing to remember, coupled with her hesitation and kissing off my request the first time was SCREAMING, "WE WANT TO SELL YOU A DOUGHNUT, AND TO DO THAT WE CANT HAVE YOU KNOW THAT WE DONT WANT YOU ON OUR WIFI BEFORE YOU BUY, BECAUSE YOU MIGHT NOT BUY!"

So, they opted to lie to me instead, which is earning them this colorful review!

We can know that they know the password, because this is a one-trick show! You can say you don't know it, but its your WiFi, and now you've said it was your phone number, and you know that doesn't work, so, what are you going to tell others when they show up referencing thos post, asking for your WiFi password????

On the upside, if you're a customer here, the pictured sign, IF YOU READ IT CAREFULLY, suggests you can...

I usually come here a couple times a month not too often, If you come in the morning and grab a fresh donut it will taste great they do a great job making their donuts, however the elderly lady always would sneak anywhere from 30-60cents every time I got my change back for paying for the donuts and dishonestly like that is one big main reasons I don't return to establishments too often , it doesn't feel good to be robbed or looked at as if you aren't aware to know you're being shorted on your change , other than...

I love a good old fashion donut. I have tried many donut places. If you want light, chewy dough with glazed top and flakes all over your lips. Each bite crave some more. I recommend this donut shop to you! Their donut holes are amazing and delicious as well. I love how kind and effective they are as they help welcoming customers each day. I haven’t been in a while but the atmosphere was very welcoming. I felt safe. Love the shop smell from the last time I have visited....
