at least in the story of bakery life.
now i know why bakers get a reputation of being assholes, you HAVE to be.
rule of thumb, if someone's coming into a bakery they're (at least semi)wealthy, otherwise they'd be buying their bakery from giant eagle. no, people come in to get specialty items, meaning they have the money to spend and the attitude that goes with any ignorant rich jerk who think they know everything about everything. one woman even went so far as to call herself a 'cake connoissuer' whatever-you're a stay at home mom, with too much money and time on your hands, and not enough adult interaction. i don't want to hear about how much you know about cake, or cinnamon rolls, or whatever. if you knew so much you'd be making them at home. not buying them from us.
really, the job isn't as bad as it sounds. it's fantastic really. i mean what could be better than making sweets all day. exactly-nothing. but some days, people can really make you wonder how the human race has survived this long.
example: (true story)
bride calls during her bridal shower, says she's worried about the wedding cake b/c her shower cake is turning everyone's teeth blue.
us: "you ordered blue frosting for your bridal cake"
her:" i'm worried my wedding guests will be walking around with blue teeth"
we dig out her file;
us: "you ordered white frosting on your wedding cake"
silence for like 10 seconds
her: "but if this cake turned their teeth blue, will my wedding cake??"
us: "your bridal cake is blue, that's why their teeth are blue, it's food coloring , your wedding cake is not blue, it is white"
and it went on like this...until either she figured it out, or was too confused to argue anymore....i just don't even know what to say to this...
i've never seen this bride, but i hope that she is drop dead gorgeous, considering she obviously has NO brains. her beauty must be why whoever is marrying her is sticking around, b/c talking to her was like talking to a brick wall...
best wishes on a long and fruitful marriage--i think she'll need it!
