When we say we’re booked it means we couldn’t take an order from the President.  Or my mom.  Or Colin Firth (although that would really depress me).

“Booked” is trade lingo that means “all 24 hours of that day are allocated to baking for the bakery case and for people who got their orders in before now”  It also means we are unable to:
a) manipulate time to create a 25th hour for more baking
b) call another customer and tell her that YOUR order is more important than her order, so we’re taking yours instead
c) bribe or threaten our ovens into cooking things faster (that’s the inherent problem with inanimate objects).

Seriously, please don’t threaten my employees, talk down to them (it’s rude), try to bribe them, name-drop (especially my name, it’s embarrassing), beg, or throw a tantrum.

We are in the business of selling baked goods, so seriously, we take as many orders as we can- we’ve got bills to pay too!  I promise, we don’t secretly keep some slots open in case someone Really Important calls at the last minute.  We simply take orders until we can’t take any more.   Please be nice!

THANK YOU!!!
