A Rude Retorte

(Bakery | Alabama, USA)

(I am a cake decorator in a bakery. I am closing up the department when the phone rings.)


Me: “This is the bakery, how may I help you?”


Customer: “Yes! Oh my god, please tell me you have the cake kit!”


Me: “Yes we do have the kit.”


Customer: “Finally! I’ve looked everywhere for it and you’re the only place that has it! Okay I need to order a cake.”


Me: “Alright, when you were going to need it?”


Customer: “In about thirty minutes.”


Me: “I’m sorry ma’am, but I would not be able to do that.”


Customer: “What? Why the h*** not?”


Me: “The bakery closes at 6:00 pm on Sundays and I’ve already clocked out for the day. I can place the order for tomorrow afternoon, though.”


Customer: “No! No! I need it now! It’s my son’s birthday today and I need a cake! I forgot to order the cake!”


Me: “I’m sorry, ma’am. There’s nothing I can do.”


Customer: “You can make my son’s g**d*** cake is what you can do!”


Me: “I’m sorry. You can come and choose one from our case and I could write something on it for you.”


Customer: “No! I don’t want those cakes! That’s great! Just great! I hope you’re happy; you just ruined my baby’s first birthday!” *hangs up*
