My wife went to a Kroger/Fred Meyer about 10 years ago and asked for a birthday cake for me. I have a unique Scandinavian name.
When told, the employee crinkled her face and asked “What kind of name is that??”
They also asked her if she was on hard times for asking where the coinstar machine was.
After a brief letter I wrote to management, my wife reported that her subsequent visit had a large number of executives wearing suits through the store...
Power of the pen is mightier than the frosting...
