NSW Police have branded a Krispy Kreme promotion as "nonsensical" as large groups of people queued for free doughnuts.Krispy Kreme cancelled another promotion on TuesdayPolice were called to patrol social distancing among doughnut-loving crowds in NSW yesterday.
As news of the free doughnuts spread, concern grew that social distancing was not being observed among those lining up at stores. Acting Assistant Commissioner Tony Cooke urged businesses to "act responsibly" during the health crisis."This is nonsensical and defies logic," he said in a statement. He said promotions like the Krispy Kreme giveaway did nothing to assist in maintaining social distancing, describing that as being "vital to stopping the spread of the virus".
get a vaccine get a free donut? look at all the suckers
GJockdua Sydneysiders.
I think the metric system is different in every state as l'm sure nobody knows what 1.5 metre's is or even entertain the maths involved in staying 1.5 inches, CM, feet, yards, metre's & the other mesusurments used. The further you are away from someone else the better
The company can now start to behave responsibly and pay the medical bills of all the people who become infected as a result of their arrogant stupidity. And they can also consider apologizing to the doctors and nurses they clearly don’t care about. Reprehensible!
That’s mental.
Come on Krispy K,If your looking for extra customers have a secret surprise day..eg: if someone buys six donuts, give half a dozen free, It's great to get a free one when you least expect it same concept but no large lines.Customers will wonder each time if it is a freebie day?
They should be fined to the maximum of the law
You can buy Krispy Kreme donuts from 7/11 and other service stations. Either way, it's NOT worth catching coronavirus!
Dear Krispy Kreme, your donuts are revolting, taste like spew and are eaten by idiots Well done for reinforcing the point
Even without the Rona this would be a dangerous and stupid idea.
Where is the common sense gone.
Sydney people must have herd mentality
Ridiculous promotion yes, but does nobody take personal responsibility anymore? Why would anybody, let alone these numbers, take the risk? Dunderheads, the lot of them!
To quote our esteemed leader: “Stop it. I can’t be any clearer than that” I can be a shitload clearer than that: ‘Police will be required to FINE EVERYONE they observe not following the rules. No warnings. No reminders. Just FINES!’ That WILL reduce this madness.
It’s clear that public action in cues signals the nothing burger attitudes to the virus. Those that have died on ventilators without love ones are mostly iatrogenic causes of death.
Every city in in Australia: Sydney? Yep it’s a shithole full of arrogant people. proven timeandtimeagain
It's not a conspiracy that this thing exist, it does.. the issue is aids, ebola, swine flu all have higher levels of damage should any of those become epidemic again but we are freaking out over a flu that kills a small percentage of those it's infecting.
facepalm
How mad are people risking their life or long term health complications for a dozen doughnuts 🤑🤑🤑
What a classic example of humanity at it’s most stupid!
Were there any security guards rooting the donuts pray tell?
Thats gold. Police patrol donut shop. Couldn't make this shit up.
Bloody mass stupidity , risking their lives and risking a 2nd wave in NSW just for some free donuts. The cops need to throw the book at each Krispy Kreme shop that participated in this lame brained and dangerous publicity stunt . WTF are the staff managing social distancing ?
😂
Just another step in the Americanisation of Oz. More artery clogging junk food. If the virus doesn’t get you, morbid obesity will.
Toilet paper & donuts. That says pandemic to me😷
Visual Donuts anyone?
Sooooooooo thousands spitting venom at blm is ok but hundred lining peacefully for a free donut is outrageously dangerous to all 90 year olds hope the coppers are testing them for diabetes, this lunacy has to stop......
Diabetes doughnuts with corona sprinkles
But their donuts are shit.
Silverwater rd and parramatta rd intersection.
Coronuts, like cronuts but with an extra 'o' to make them more aerodynamic for optimal air transmission.
Oh bogus, the Police were there for the free donuts;P
People can be always be trusted and relied on to get their priorities right!
NSW must control these things or Queensland must close its border again
What does the Covid flavour look taste like?
Curse you Charles Darwin!
Should've fined the people and the company.
Yum! Krispy Kreme Kovid.
Also: Have you ever eaten one of these things? Some idiot executive of the organisation I worked for (an American) brought a tray as a 'treat' for us proles. They are awful; they taste of beef fat shortening.
You can’t even believe it....
EuanMccaughey
Apparently Dan Andrews was there coughing on each doughnut.
Fat people I bet?
Have an injection of sugar with your coronavirus infection nswpol
Friggin morons is all I can say
The ring of death 😳😳😳
Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.
GladysB the ppl. No more mixed messaging one unified direction or bust. ScottMorrisonMP
FFS idiots
People are really quite f..king stupid and irresponsible. This confirms it.
Glazed Covid Cinnamon Doughnuts 🍩 🤮 with EXTRA Glyphosate
AnnastaciaMP you have got to close the border to NSW now. Now's your chance to beat the curve
Homer energy.
Fk Covid! I want my donuts 🍩! 🤣🤣🤣
Idiots
krispykreme I missed out, when's the next one?
FatCuntsMatter KrispyKreme
Nice to see that Krispy Kreme, an American company, doesn't discriminate when it comes to publicity campaigns that have the potential to spread amongst Australians the virus that is rampant back home in the good old USA.
🤦🏼♂️
Sydney really hates that all the attention is on Melbourne right now
'patrol' 🤣🤣🤣
Worst birthday present, ever! 🙄
Article just writes itself.
It’s only a free dozen glazed. You’re still expected to cough up(no pun intended) $28 for an assorted dozen anyway🤷♂️
Businesses trying to make up losses and Polcir trying to make social distancing. Oh man
Seriously 🙄
Hey KrispyKreme can I have mine with Covid-19 filling please?
KK should be held accountable
Krispy Kreme actually employs people to line up a for their promotions. Anyway, what a dickhead move in a COVID environment. The doughnuts don't even have much taste, other than 'sugar'.
Do-nuts!
and.....ABC is now offering free publicity, advertising for an overseas company. good job
Have to change COVIDIDIOTS to covidfvckwits now🤦🏻♀️
Obesity COVIDIOTS ScottMorrison DansFault TimSmithMP
How irresponsible are Krispy Kreme putting their staff at risk like this for minimum wage not to mention the public. Hope they fine the marketing team and management.
Is this an example of natural selection?
20 per cent of people in ICU for COVID in Victoria are under 50 years of age.
corriechen this immediately reminded me of that trip we took to Fountain Gate all those years ago! Hope you’re well 😊
Looks like Penrith one. Idiots.
Moronavirus strikes again!
Died for bad donuts. Reserve it for the headstone.
More BLM protestors. such a big movement
I tweeted u dudes about this yday in Melbourne! Spitting in the face of the lockdown restrictions here
QLD_TruthSeeker patrolling krispy kremes shooting any covid virus' that dares get near the crowd
HainsworthLucas
Labour voters
As long as you know by these tweets you are actually advertising their product and give away. Actually now i feel i want to have a crispy creme, never even thought about it before.
They’re not even nice donuts!
What a time to be alive. We should no longer be surprised at how dumb most folks are. Halfwits happily risking their lives to pay an enormous premium to eat 40 teaspoons of sugar. I guess sugar diabetes is easier to treat than COVID-19, so there's that.
Never eaten them. Never will.
krispykreme imo exhibiting poor Corpgov with this promotion is the midst of a pandemic ..what idiots.
How dumb are they?
God people are Stupid
Cops and donuts huh
Fatties love their donuts.
Who are all these idiots?
Lol a bunch of fat shits wouldn’t mind a bit of corona 🙄at least they’re eating something before they get infected
How dumb can you be !! We will be back in lockdown in no time ! People just don’t get it !!
Imagine wanting a free donut so badly that you’d risk your life to get one. krispykreme COVID19Aus
AnthonyCole68 Look I'm not a food snob and will eat pretty well anything that hoves into my field of vision. But jesus christ, imagine actually queuing for Krispy Kreme donuts
glitchirina is that auburn?
Fat lives matter
KRISPY Kreme Kretins It's too late. Here we go Here we go. Thick c*
Why are we using words such as “nonsensical” really
Queensland AnnastaciaMP Close Border Now!
Donut forget to wear a mask!
Buy one, get one ICU bed FREE
Krispy Kreme doughnuts has tested positive for covid-19
Ahhh so that’s where ScottyFromMarketing has been!
Everyone of these ppl are CoVidiots Do they have No clue what has happened at the Crossroads pub and have they not SEEN what is going on in Melbourne?
They'll die eating em anyways?!
Their mgmt team should be charged with public order offences. Clear breach of social distancing laws. Utterly stupid.
I love a Krispy Kreme donut as much as the next guy, but this is bloody stupid, like bloody hell
Gargh!!! more krappy krispie kreme metabolic syndrome worse outcome for covid19.
Farcical my country... 😢
krispykreme should be closed down for a month or at least heavily fined for such an irresponsible deliberate act of stupidity, as for the fuckwits who risked all for free donuts, you are beneath contempt.
BLM protest = ok. Every other form of human gathering deplorable
Well that was completely stupid of Krispy Kreme to do a promotion at this time, knowing full well it would attract a huge crowd. I blame their promotions dept to think that that was a good idea....not!
So how long does this promotion got for? And where is the nearest store to Hornsby?
Oh dear, Sydney you need to start looking at Melbourne and learning you’re doing exactly same things that got us here
Cops are like 'hey keep away from our doughnuts'
Donuts! - free Rona upgrade?
This is just insane. All for some diabetes.
I'm betting it was a worldwide promotion - but did no one in the Sydney store stop and think 'hmmmm, MAYBE right now's not the time,.maybe we should delay it a bit?'.
At this point everyone may as well get infected and get it over with, we are just delaying the inevitable🙄 People not following rules will just have us in and out of lockdown forever, and still result in ppl getting infected an dying so...
Charles approves of Krispy Kreme
“Free Covid with every donut! Come and get it.”
Doughnuts are above identity. AllDoughnutsMatter.
The vast majority of small businesses do the right thing. Ironically it's the businesses with the most resources that seems to be ruining it for everyone lately
Honestly, how desperately greedy are people?
i was driving by and my family was like 'omg no we're not going anymore'... i completely forgot that i'm not the only one who likes getting free food on their birthday. good thing im an el social member with san churros- at least i didn't leave empty handed last night haha!
Ever wondered how the LNP were voted into power.... Behold
Im in Melbourne. Let me tell you this is a BAD idea. Stay away from crowds or you will return to lockdown
More globalist business sponsored opportunities for public outrage. Strange how people ask for their own enslavement. plandemic
covidiots
And they wonder why there's new cases...
WTAF how stupid are krispykreme & all these people!!! whatpandemic
We’ll go back into lockdown, KK made no money giving away crappy donuts, people ate a shed load more sugar harming their health... we are so winning at controlling this pandemic!
I hope Krispy Kreme are paying for the cops.
Yeah we're f$ked
Dream beat for a copper
This is what you get for trying to cheat nature and keeping the stupid ones alive to breed. Once these were the ones that were eaten by something, now we pay them to breed.
Close down this entire chain....omg!!!
And Gladys was worried about Covid coming from the south. Sydney have more than their share of issues that mean the regions will soon need to be protected from the cities
mormorlady Luckily this promotion wasn't in Victoria or the msm would be blaming Dan Andrews for it
“Come get a free donut” and everyone scrambles! What the actual F*&K is wrong with people! STAY HOME FOOLS!! Sheesh 🙄
Charge KK and all the individuals there. Need to start fining a lot more people, not just companies. Fine KK $100k, and each person $500. That will start changing behaviour!
That’s odd - people who eat Krispy Kreme donuts are well known to be exceedingly health-conscious.
Shut them down, that will show them how stupid they are!
You mean I could have got my sister and mother free donuts for their birthdays all this time?
And we take the pi55 out of the US! Starting to look same same!!
Lunacy🙄
Of course it's owned by the 🇺🇸
risk exposure to covid19 for free doughnuts FMD you fckwits
Fine them 10k !!!
Truly we are in the stupidest timeline
Hopefully some Victorians were in the queue
At first sight I assumed that was in America. Sydney, the virus is going to win. COVID19Aus
Stupid time for a promotion like that, just dumb.
Must have donuts !!🤩
...and that was the day I was convinced that humans were too stupid to be allowed to survive the pandemic.
I bet the numbskulls queuing include the people saying people offshore like me for work reasons never ever deserve to come home in flagrant violation of the latter’s constitutional rights.
Yuk!.. junk food... and they Q!!!!
For anyone who wants to know what arrogant stupid looks like.......
I wants me free donuts 🤪
WTF is wrong with people, very irresponsible of KK too. Sydney will be back in lockdown in no time with these sorts of shenanigans
Did no-one in marketing reflect on this and think maybe it was a dumb idea at this time?
No it’s OK, it’s actually a BLM protest (or at least it is about as useful) 🙄
Why risk infection over donuts that aren't even that good? KrispyKremeIsOverrated
Ffs
These gatherings will just keep happening, people aren buying the media’s panic sales anymore.
I'll be at the pub tonight, few pints, Perth the big boy state.
America wants to spread the virus here..
We’re doomed.
Ah yes, *that's* the reason the police were at Krispy Kreme
FineKrispyKreme
Police patrolled but found no Victorians so its an all clear NSW.
This is ridiculous. There was traffic jams at a Krispy Kreme near me yesterday, and police directing traffic. I would not have considered this essential during a lockdown.
Now they will just die of diabeetus.
Wave 2 here I come!
