+Gorak Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Who thinks a cache in the parking lot of a Krispy Kreme store is appropriate ? I think that it is a bit tacky. With the soaring rate of heart disease and childhood obesity, isn't it obscene to attract people to cache at donut shops? Makes adult book stores seem tame by comparison... Link to comment

I've been on a diet for three weeks. I'd face much stronger temptations at the krispy Kreme store than I would at the adult bookstore! Link to comment
+wimseyguy Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 All depends on the kind of diet one is on? I've owned a cache hidden at the local outpost for almost six years. No one has died or been injured there yet. Link to comment

+lil_cav_wings Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 I don't care, so long as the challenge of the cache is good. I'm an adult. I can make my own choices when it comes to what I put in my mouth... Link to comment

I don't like candy. I find Krispe Kremes to be among the sweetest of doughnuts. Disgusting. So, to me, a cache there is perfectly fine. Now, one placed in front of a discount liquor store.......

+onthegomom Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 KK wouldn't bother me either, but that blasted one outside of Baskin Robbins caused me to go in and get a double scoop sundae that was probably a 1000 calories. Blah Link to comment

+E = Mc2 Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Leaving Krispy Kreme the other morning after jbex, I was followed by a cop for several miles. I just KNEW I was going to get pulled over, even though I hadn't done anything. It was 2AM on a Saturday morning, and the bars were hopping. All I could think of was me rolling down the window and saying "Would you like a doughnut , officer?" Link to comment

Fortunately we have Republicans. LOL I forgot how our neighbours to the south equate social services. Social services = socialism = communism = evil. Consider this: Unemployment insurance = socialist Welfare = socialist Public education = socialist Public transportation = socialist Public libraries = socialist Social Insurance = socialist the list goes on.... Of course, none of those things make a country socialist, unless Public Health Care is added to the list. I guess it doesn't help when Canada is always depicted as pink in atlases. You guys crack me up! Link to comment
+TheAlabamaRambler Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 The cleverly-hidden first stage of a 7-year-old popular multi is right outside the front window of our local Krispy-Kreme. The staff watches and pokes fun at cachers looking for it. Finding the first stage took me two trips, the final required six. Not all parking lot caches are lame! Link to comment

Um, people can run across that sort of item in a forest, in an alleyway, in a park, or any other slightly isolated spot. The places that are good hiding places for geocaches are good hiding places for other objects and activities as well. It is the geocacher's responsibility to be aware of his/her surroundings. If you don't like the look of a place, don't get out of the car. Besides that, I can't imagine what you're doing with this sort of litter that you think you're going to catch a disease from it. That sort of pathogen doesn't live long outside of a human body. It would need to be pretty fresh, and you'd need to be doing something pretty questionable with it in order to contract a disease.

A lot of Adult stores are known to have illicit sexual activity going on both inside and outside of the establishments. Where you have illicit sexual activity going on you will also more than likely have illicit drug use going on including used syringes. So the likelihood of finding or accidently coming in contact with those substances is far greater in a parking lot of an Adult store. Link to comment

I'm also puzzled how one makes the connection that being sexually active makes someone a drug user. Have we been lied to all this time? Is sex really the gateway to hard drugs and not maryjane?

Do you have a study or some other kind of evidence backing up your claim? So-called "adult" stores are actually pretty mainstream these days, and many of them strive to create a clean, safe, and welcoming environment inside and outside the store. Having paying customers scared off by skeeze just isn't good for business. It's a big world out there, full of people who are going to do things you don't approve of. They might do it in a parking lot, or they might do it in the local park, or they might do it at home. It's not up to a geocache owner to sanitize the world to avoid offending your delicate sensibilities. You need to exercise your own judgment and avoid places that you don't like. Quite frankly, I find the tone of your comments much more frightening than the many syringes I've encountered in alleys and parks since I became a geocacher. I can report a syringe to the health unit and get it cleaned up. Insidious bigotry is much harder to eradicate. Link to comment

They are very, very careful not break the law, because the store and the club are their livelihood. The reason they do such brisk business is because they have a reputation for being safe and not at all creepy. Serious creeps don't make a great customer base. The store's bread and butter is middle-class female customers with lethargic husbands and lots of disposable income. Link to comment
