7-11 got its donuts from Montgomery Donuts

Interesting. That was started by Carl Probert, a former IBM CE at NIH.
He quit IBM over a salary dispute (IBMs mistake IMHO) and went off to
make doughnuts. He used to drop by the office after that with a couple
dozen, if we promised the branch manager would not get any. His
secretary may have slipped him one but the troops stayed true to the
cause.
The strange thing is shortly after he left, IBM created the position
hardware"account rep" and granted the salary range he wanted because
he was right. It just took them a while without him to figure it out.
They guy they put into the job was not nearly as good.
