Their doughnuts are REALLY yummy.  Yesterday we stopped there prior to going for a quick Trader Joe&#8217;s run before our morning appointment at the pediatrician.  So, we were standing there and I was trying to get E to tell me what he would like to have, when, in the midst of a fit of coughing, he threw up all over the floor.  Now, I have to say that I was shocked.  This was the first time in his almost 4 years that he has been sick like that.  I apologized profusely and offered to clean up.  They told me that they would take care of it and the manager told me that he hoped that E would feel better soon.  After promising them that I&#8217;d come back soon to buy some doughnuts, we left.  (I should mention that I&#8217;ve  never been so happy to be the only customer in a store as I was then.  Some things are just easier to take if the audience is small, you know?)  I took E out to the van and was strapping him in when I noticed the manager had followed me out to the parking lot.  He had brought a bottle of Sprite and a bottle of water with him and insisted on me taking one of them with me.  And he wouldn&#8217;t let me pay him, either.  Needless to say, I&#8217;m going to be telling Lamar&#8217;s corporate what a great employee they have at that particular location.  You don&#8217;t get service like that everyday.  You know, little acts of kindness aren&#8217;t really so little, when you think about it.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If You Need a Doughnut&#8230;. then you need to get to a Lamars.
