Couldn’t put it better myself.
We love our customers but we also have families & bills to pay, so if we give you a collection time please stick to it otherwise we spend all day waiting around and the cake we worked hard on goes to waste, this is money down the drain for us.
Have an amazing day & stay kind 🌸💕
POV: Its 10PM Your customer still hasn’t picked up their cake. Let alone answered your messages. As a small business owner you can’t help but beat yourself up over it. YOU KNEW BETTER THEN TO MAKE A CAKE WITHOUT A DEPOSIT, but you really thought and believed they were good for it.
I could’ve did so much more with my night and day y’all, I could’ve for one been an entirely better mom this week.
My kids unfortunately sometimes get the short end of the stick when it comes to this baking thing, I’m constantly pushing orders out so when you don’t pay for your order it hits me so hard. I’m not Walmart y’all I don’t have a couple million laying around to cover all these no shows. Im a normal person just like you with children and bills to pay.
That could’ve been more time with my kids, or another order that could provided for them.
I’m way to nice when it comes to this cake thing, a simple I won’t be able to get it ahead of time, or I’m not in a good place financially, or something came up could’ve went a long way. I’ve always been willing to meet someone half way when it comes to things like these cause I GET IT LIFE HAPPENS. It’s just the point behind it for me. Y’all don’t even know the amount of things I’ve let slide these past few years. And I’ve honestly had enough of it.
That being said, this is 100% on me because I knew better.
So here’s a friendly reminder that deposits are absolutely necessary to secure your orders.
Thanks for listening to my rant I’m gonna do some work on this cake in the AM and see if I can resell for the low so if you made it this far and your interested inbox your girl cause I been stressed out all day 😅
*EDIT TO ADD ID NEVER PUT MY CUSTOMER ON BLAST, that’s not what this is about, you’d never even be able to find out the identity behind this cake, this happens to small buisness owners EVERY SINGLE DAY and I know they can relate someone just had to say it*
