Hot Doughnuts NOW!

This doesn't seem to have been widely reported, but Krispy Kreme's tradition of giving away one free glazed doughnut hot off the conveyer belt, signaled by the neon sign screaming "Hot doughnuts now," has ended.
As of January - I try to stay away from donuts - they no longer give free samples reads the sign on the counter. And I can't believe there's been no outcry. Or is it just at the one on MLK and Crenshaw? I guess I'll have to be visiting a few more KK's in the near future.
