i had a real whack job as a customer today.

long story short she called me in a rant after her daughter picked her cake up saying she dispised that cake....man...that's pretty strong words!

and continued ranting...(truthfully i think it was sticker shock, she may have been expecting wal mart prices).

i told just bring it back...i'll give you a refund.

it was a horribly busy day....and i had a couple people call in for an emergancy order...but i was out of cake...(if old whacked in the head didn't take that slot i could have serviced them)....that hacked me off too.

anyhow when she brought the cake back i flatly told her not to bother ever comming back...i'm not real fond of wasting my time.

heres the kicker.........

i was so busy i barely had time to go to the bathroom all day...after she left i went in....

that's right boys and girls....i had wiped my upper lip or something after airbrushing and was sporting a nice little hitler mustache!

in navy blue.

i'll be your smurfy cake nazi.

I just want to say Congratulations for telling the customer to not come back anymore, and that they were wasting your time. I hope it inspires others here to think that way.

littlecake, I'm sure you made that little blue mustache look good icon_smile.gif

ala Will Smith in Men in Black:

"You know what the difference is between you and me? I make this look good."

Since I'm doing quotes - here's one for that woman!

"We do not have to visit a madhouse to find disordered minds; our planet is the mental institution of the universe." (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe)

Good for you! But after looking at your photo gallery, your cakes are beautiful, so I think it must have been sticker shock! Feel better, you did the right thing.

I agree, your cakes all look great. Do you have a pic of your "dispicable" cake. Your mustache story is great by the way. Sorry about your bad day. Stories like this make me cringe, hope I can handle it the way you did if it happens to me.

Thanks for the laugh for the day. You did a good job of telling her "how the cow ate the cabbage" as my mom would have said.

Life is too short to dance with ugly people. I'm sure you have plenty of good customers and don't need one like her.

You go girl!!! thumbs_up.gifthumbs_up.gifthumbs_up.gif
