The Cake Is A Lie, Part 2
(A man calls to check on a cake he’d ordered, but things just go downhill from there.)
Customer: “I’d like to check on the cake I ordered for graduation.”
Me: “I’m sorry, but this is [Donut Shop]. We don’t make cakes; we only make donuts.”
Customer: “I ordered the cake two weeks ago and I want to know if it will be ready.”
Me: “I can’t help you with that because we don’t make cakes here. We only make donuts.”
Customer: “Is this [Donut Shop]?”
Me: “Yes, that’s right.”
Customer: “Well, I know that’s where I ordered my cake, and I want to know if it will be ready.”
Me: “I can’t help you with that because you didn’t order a cake here. We don’t make cakes. We only make donuts.”
Customer: “Are you near [Chain Grocery Store]?”
Me: “Yes, there’s one near us.”
Customer: “Then that proves I ordered the cake there because it was right near [Chain Grocery Store].”
Me: “You may have been somewhere near [Chain Grocery Store], but you couldn’t have been here, because we don’t make cakes. We only make donuts. We don’t even have an oven except for a small microwave oven. Everything here is deep-fried, so we have no way to make cakes even if we want to.”
Customer: “Well, where did I order my cake then, if I didn’t order it from you?!”
Me: “I don’t know where you ordered your cake, but I do know that you didn’t order it here, because we don’t make cakes. We only make donuts.”
Customer: “Whatever! You are incompetent! I’m never ordering cakes from you guys ever again!” *click*
