From littlesnuglet, Tales From Retail:

Me: Thank you for calling Flour & Water Bakery, how can I help you today?

Customer: I need to order a Minions Cake for a small party.

M: Ok, for which day?

C: I need it in 30 minutes.

M: ........... Ma'am, custom cakes need to be ordered 48 hours in advance. Would you like to pick from our selection of cakes we prepare daily.

C: ok, but I need a Minions cakes! Would you be able to decorate it?

M: I'm afraid not on such short notice. But we do have Minions cake decorations available for purchase.

C: What do you mean you can't do it? I order from here all the time. I want to speak with your manager.

M: I am the manager, and it is store policy that custom cakes require 48 hours notice.

C: ::Hangs up::

I would like to say that this is a rare occurrence, but it isn't...

As I like to say, and said frequently during last years Windows 10 update, "Lack of planning on your part does not constitute and emergency on mine"
