I want some cakes

[sylvier]

Gotta love working in the food biz. About a week ago, a woman called in asking if we could make some cakes for her company's Customer Appreciation Day. She wasn't sure how many customers would be attending, but figured on about 1,000 and thought she'd need 8 to 12 large cakes. Delivered, of course. She told me that she would figure out the numbers and wouldn't consider this order to be official until she heard from my boss. I got her contact info and let my boss know. The big event is two days away and we haven't heard back from her so we gave her a call. As far as she's concerned, she did place an order, but still doesn't know how many cakes she needs. Guess that's not important. I have a feeling that Friday is going to be a very long day - guess who's going to be making all those cakes for an early Sat AM delivery? Well maybe there will only be three!

Gee! She hasn't paid for the cakes (how could she since she doesn't know how many she needs) and she hasn't given you an order stating how many of the cakes she needs.

Sounds like she hasn't put in an order to me.

Failure to plan on her part does not qualify as an emergency on your part.

Waiting on the part two of this.

You know there is going to be a part two.

Yeah, just waiting for the bitchfest that will unsue tomorrow. Please keep us updated!

You have my full sympathies.

hmm, non-specific about quantity; no payment made or further contact to discuss the particulars.

doesn't sound like an order to me, either.

[Mr Hero]

The cakes are a lie.

[BrenDAnn]

Hero, you beat me to it! That was my first thought, too! Please, sylvier, keep us updated!

Any update?

Sorry, but there is no Part 2. Nobody called us up looking for 10 or 12 large cakes, maybe all those realtors decided to make the desserts for their bash. But the July long weekend is coming up and I know I have to make about 500 Nanaimo bars. Shoot me now!
