The thoughtful tweet by the owner's son, showing his father's disappointment at an empty shop, transformed it into a packed house with lines out the door. The community came out and rallied behind the shop as customers completely bought out all of the donuts and kolaches.

It's the grand opening so you have to put money in the tip jar to bring good luck. Kind of like when you buy a purse or wallet for someone as a gift - superstition says that one should place a dollar bill into it for luck.
