The success of a solution usually depends upon your point of view

Accept it and move on. Don't belittle their act by trying to even the score.

If you win a karma here do you try and send doughnuts to the OP?

Give the shop an online review, word of mouth, and your future business.

Being on the shop end of this story I’d never expect nor want to accept anything for a kindness done for a customer or a potential customer.

I always looked at that as Karma, what goes around comes around.

Some small gift, like the box 'o donuts, and also give them a really good Google review.
