I had a hankering for donuts the other day, but most of the usual places were out. I found a store that specialized in donuts and checked went in. They had none on display, but they had a sign with all the varieties.

I gulped at the price, over $2 each, but my hankering won out and I got two regular glazed donuts. (I like plain or old fashioned or glazed, but not so much the fancier stuff.)

Well, it turns out the donuts were huge; maybe twice the content as the usual donuts.

So worth the price. 

But the sign showed donuts that looked even smaller than normal. 

As a store owner I always notice what other small establishments could do to improve. I wanted to say, "Put some of these out for display so people see what they're getting!"

 But I bit my tongue. I came across a phrase recently that struck home. "No one likes unsolicited advice."

Now, I'd like to think I'd be open to advice that might help, but I know that in the past people have said things that cut a little. In most cases, there was a good reason why I wasn't doing what the person suggested.

Peace out.
