Dunkin' Donuts gourmand Kitty Bukkake interviews a former DD employee:

Kitty: Technical question: how do they get the kreme/jelly in the filled donuts? Is there a pump? Do you make the fillings at the store or are they pre-made? Robin: The white kreme was kept in a giant Rubbermaid trash barrel out back. We would fill up one of those squeezy-bags that cake designers use. It looked like a caulking gun and had a pointed application attachment on the end of it, designed to insert into an otherwise empty donut. Then you would just SQUEEZE the kreme into it. Sometimes I'd raise the lid of the barrel and see a mass of green mold on top of the kreme. The first time it happened, I told my boss and he said to scoop out the green, throw it away and proceed with the donut-filling. Also, I once dropped an entire tray of jelly donuts onto the floor out front, behind the counter. I picked them up and brought them into the back room and was told to put them back out front.
P.S. And then there's this at the end:
Thanks, Robin! If you think you might be able to get those uniforms back, I know a gentleman who'll pay you handsomely if you let me borrow them.
I think I just got that!
