Modern sales tactics and staff targets have ruined the retail experience in totality.
You used to be able to avoid it by patronising small businesses, but the race to the bottom has concluded and everyone does it now
Just post something π

I'll take the wholesale experience, please and thank you. Shut up and take my money. Emphasis on the "Shut Up" part.
Don't know about the first part but on the second I can only say the staff is paid a wage of, at least β¬900, monthly.
No commission, no tips, nothing else.
$12k/yr, bruh
Housing cost = β¬0 b/c theyβre forced to sleep on park benches? Come on thatβs so lowww :(
It's minimum wage in my country and many live with it. Where I live you can find a house with three bedrooms for β¬300 to β¬400.
Downside? Small, slow, semi rural, no jobs town. You have to commute to work.
Some small local companies seem to get off on being hard to get a hold of, judgemental in matters of taste, and just overall unpleasant to deal with. Unfortunately you found a bad one.
I have a theory that a cookie shop in my area is a front for that reason, but I digress...
A front? For what?
Laundering money of course. There seems to be several restaraunt chains that exist for the same reason. Hardee's and Long John Silver's for example.
If my readings serve me well, Long John Silver was the pirate cook and then captain from Treasure Island.
So... Perhaps? Would make sense.
Reading this, you're not insane, the world of small commercial cake making is. Some of this reeks of wanting your cake to be, in part, advertisement for the business - resistance to your more plain stylistic choices (not 'Insta-worthy' from the sound of it), not using the workflow that gets this work on their feed for folks to look at, etc.
Like, in one sense I get it, but in another it's a cake motherfucker. Take money for cake. Make cake. Give cake. That's the core business, and sometimes that's all you need to or should do.
Insightful and zero doubt on accuracy, thanks
