How To Survive Retail Hell, Stupid Custys, and Avatar

As we all know, sometimes in Retail Hell there is only one way to survive custys who are driving you nuts. A perfect example comes from Cake Bitch, who had three offensive retail strikes....and then she was out:

I fucking hate xmas... srsly.

I would not be disappointed or hurt at all if it just ceased to exist.

So, today was one of the WORST days of bakery hell EVER... //scream.

Offense #1:

So I work next door to a certain store whose colors are red and white and has a big 'target' for a logo... so anyways... they order a cake from us every month for employee's birthdays and stuff, and when someone quits...so they DO do good business with us.. generally. So, apparently this lady from there ordered 9 DOZEN cupcakes... (that's 108 damn cupcakes mind u...) that I made up this morning for pick up tomorrow... they were ALLLLLL sprayed NEON green w/ dark green sprinkles.... I put them in the cooler.

Later on I get a phone call...

"Um, yeah I ordered cupcakes for tomorrow... I need to go ahead and cancel that..."

WHAT IN THE FUCK. Srsly?!?

So I'm stuck w/ 9 dozen F-ing cupcakes that are all neon fucking green!??!?!?! What in in the hell is wrong w/ you!?

I told my AM I wanted to put them on sale as grinch cupcakes... because srsly, I fucking hate this holiday...

Offense #2:

A little while later this guy comes in all ghetto-fabulous with his do-rag under his backwards ballcap, and his GINORMOUS fur coat talking all gangster to me... the conversation went something like this:

gangsta: yo you bread you make in the bakery is cheaper than the regular bread right?

me: Um, well I don't know about that but it's higher quality...

gangsta: oh well, you got any wheat bread?

the only wheat bread we have that's just plain wheat and not multi-grain or whatever is the farmstyle... it comes two loaves in ONE package, unsliced and is $2.00

me: well we have this //points to farmstyle bread...

gangsta: but it ain't sliced...

me: well I can slice it for you for no additional cost, and it only takes a minute.

gangsta: how much you want for that? (meaning the bread)

I SO badly wanted to point out the HUGE fucking sign that said "FARMSTYLE $2.00" but I kept my restraint....

me: it's $2.00 sir.

gangsta: well this bread over here is cheaper, and it's already sliced... so the sliced is cheaper.

me: well I can slice this for you if you like...

he went on and on and on about how the other was "cheaper" because it was already sliced, what a fucking idiot...

it may be sliced but the farmstyle is TWO loaves rather than ONE and I can slice it for you.... idiot.

Whatever.... so it gets better...

Offense #3:

this lady calls me and wants a cake for TODAY...

she was real bitchy too, (sometimes I'll do cakes on short notice but not if you treat me like that I wont... )

I asked her what she wanted on it...

MAYBE I'll be generous...

picky custy: I want a dragon cake...

me: Oh, well, I can do an image of a dragon...

picky custy: but it can't be cartoony, my son is 13 and he's not a kid anymore...

me: well, drawing a dragon out of icing would be rather difficult, I'm afraid I'm not capable of doing such a thing. (I could do it really, but only for a friend not for some stupid bitch that wants something for practically nothing... so she doesn't have to know...)

picky custy: well I wanted the dragon from that new Avatar movie.

me: I'm sorry but those characters are copyrighted and any kind of reproduction or similarity would be copyright infringement in which we could incur thousands of millions of dollars of fines and lawsuits.

picky custy: so?

What the fuck lady!??! What part of ILLEGAL do you NOT understand?!?

I more or less told her I'm sorry I cannot make you a cake... you are going to have to look elsewhere.

At this point I was not in ANY kind of mood to make her a cake, simple or not... merry fucking xmas you stupid bitch.

So this is what I told my AM:

"I'm going to the back to package peanut brittle and holiday sprinkles...  I'm not helping customers, or answering the phone. You're on your own."

Offense #2, That's called "new math". No matter how many times you explain it to them, they only see the price>, not the savings. They usually also have mp3 players or cellphones (bluetooth) permanently attached to their ears, and their pimped ride is outside taking up 3 spaces (or parked in the fire lane) because they are more entitled than anyone else.

^^ But they are trying to find a way to get things the cheapest they can or better yet free, because every single penny they have is invested in their ride and cellphone.
