The clerk carefully unwrapped it, revealing a small cardboard box filled with stale donuts and a note that read: ‘For your team’s morning break—YVR Post Office.’ Everyone laughed, especially when they saw the delivery driver grinning sheepishly from behind. It turned out his wife had baked them specially for their neighbors.
