This is why we can't have nice things!

Believe it or not, I do in fact love my job. Anxiety attacks and nervous breakdowns aside... The people who work there are nice and I really like decorating cakes. And a lot of the customers are REALLY nice. I've gotten a $20 tip before.

 Money, money, money, money, money...MONEY!

But there are some things that peeve me.

Like people who tear off the markdown stickers from their products to try and attach them to other, more fresh, products. (And the fact the cashiers don't seem to notice it).

Or how people in a hurry will spend all of five seconds looking over the cake case, choose a cake, have me write on it, and leave only to come back a little while later saying they had chosen the wrong flavor of cake. FFFFFFFFFUUUUUU-

Or how people will take a donut from the self serve donut case, bite into it, and realize they had grabbed the wrong flavor Bismark and end up leaving it stashed somewhere to mold.

Or people who think they're sneaky by opening a package of fudge to take ONE square and leave the obviously meddled with package on our counter as if it belongs there...(You'd lose faith in humanity to know how much fudge we've had to dispose of because of this behavior...)

And the ever present irritation of never seeming to have the right combination of cake flavor, icing type, and decoration for walk in customers. It really does pay to call ahead.

And this is why we can't have nice things...
