"Yeah, let me make sure I have 60 cake pops real quick..." (i.redd.it)

How...does anyone need that many cakepops?? If it’s for a party they can get those for so much cheaper from literally any bakery!!
Side note: how long did that take?? Hopefully you could just give them the cakepops in the plastic packs??

The bakery thing is what I don't understand.... yet I see people ordering box fulls at a time.

That's what I dont understand about things like chocolate crossiant or butter crossiants. When someone buys 2 for nearly $6, they could have easily gone to Walmart or Costco and bought a whole box for $8 that's contains 12 crossiants. They taste almost identical. Walmart has mini chocolate crossiants that are $5 for 8.

Truth!! I had some iced lemon cake at my grandmas house that I think it was from Walmart and it tasted just like Starbucks. Same with sausage and cheddar, there’s a McDonald’s 1 block away that sells its Sausage McMuffin with Egg for 50 cents less than we do and the egg is actually a fresh egg. I would never pay for our food

Walmart is a bad place to buy from. I don't support stuff from China and underpaid employees. Costco though.... when they have chocolate croissants, they are a good deal.....

I don't shop at Walmart either especially after they treated my little green bean with disabilities horribly when he tried to work there, but my local grocery stores carry some delicious crossiants cheaply. However, I didn't think people would know about Rouses or Winn Dixie.

A couple of years ago I had a man come in for Thankgiving or the day before, walk straight up to bar where I was neck deep in drinks, and ask me what kind of muffins we had, how many, what size they were/how they looked, and how much they were. I told him that he could go look at them in the pastry case and order at the register. I was told later that he bought all of them.
That store was literally in the same plaza as a grocery store, he could have walked an extra 2 minutes and bought twice as many for half as much.
I think this boils down to the absurd number of people who still think we make everything on site.

Gods the amount of salt I carry in my soul for customers that try to ask me about their food when I’m on bar is enough to make the Dead Sea look like fresh water.
Whenever I tell people we’re out of paninis or a protein box the next question like 20% of the time is: “can’t you just go in the back and make more?”

I haaate this! People can see the size of the building! We barely have enough room to store all the frozen food we could never make everything fresh.
I recently had a customer come through from another fast food place that has a drive through and order like 6 of the new wraps. We were out of like 60% of our food and that included all of the wraps. When we told him we didn't have anymore he's like "okay how long would it take to make more?" /like dude you've got eight cars behind you, even if we could make more why would you do that?! He was legitimately confused when we couldn't and told him they were premade.

Not as bad but this dude who comes in everyday once bought 20 oatmeal’s in the drive thru. He didn’t want them with water, he just said to throw 20 bowls, lids, and packages of oats into a bag for him.
Like... dude oatmeal is so fuckin cheap, just go to the grocery store. Don’t waste your money here.

It wasn't an accident or a prank. It was for a graduation party. They took the 48 we had ready to sell or thawing plus 12 from the freezer. We didn't have to put them in pastry bags or it would have taken 10 minutes. It cost like $147. I'm near Kansas City.
It was obnoxious but not in a desperate way - more like when a principal needs sixty $10 gift cards around the holidays. There's humor in it even though it's a little, temporary hurdle. I'm glad to have a job right now.

I thought this was a mobile order and got really mad about the app thinking in stock means an infinite amount
But no, someone really ordered 60 cake pops in person. Hey, at least it's good for your UPH?

Did that come up to about $130?? Thats crazy though I don't think we even have 60 cake pops thawed at a time.

it's so much easier to go make them yourself (and cheaper)
