Do As I Say! Until I Don’t Like It And Get You In Trouble For It!

A guy calls the bakery:

Caller: “I need a white/vanilla ‘Bleeding Cake’ for the next day.”

In our bakery, a ‘Bleeding Cake’ is a cake with enough filling that it will ooze and “bleed” when cut.

Me: “We don’t do next day cake orders.”

He hangs up, but then the owner came down an hour later:

Owner: *Angry.* “Who turned down the ‘Bleeding Cake’ order?”

Me: “I did. He wanted it next day.”

Owner: “That guy is a newscaster and my husband’s friend!”

I got yelled at for following her directions because I made her “look bad.” Mr. Newsman got his ‘Bleeding Cake.’ Good times.
