Don’t get hung up on it.

Doesn’t that mean that many Dunkin Donuts owe me 5%? Or does Dunkin Donut owe me 5%? Neither of these options made sense so I went with the apostrophe.

Even if it wasn’t a proper noun, pluralizing “donut” would never call for punctuation. You’re probably going to call me a d*ck for pointing this out, but you know me well enough to realize that I don’t mind being a d*ck.
