Apology accepted Wegmans
Post of the day!
I ordered a sheet cake and they asked what I wanted it to say. I said I wanted it to say Happy Birthday.
They suggested I add to that because of all the open space on the cake. I thought about it for a minute and said put you're not getting older at the top and add you're just getting better at the bottom.
And they did. When I picked up the cake, it said ;
at the top
You're not getting older at the top
in the middle
Happy Birthday
at the bottom
You're just getting better at the bottom
Thanks for finding that!
I believe it to be an important component of this episode because it appears (I’m giving them credit here) that the actions of those employees did not comport with the official policy of the company.
New store opened in the area recently. Huge store with everything. So sad, no more.

Wegmans Apologizes for Refusing to Bake Cake for Ex-Muslims

I frequently go to the Wegmans in Woodbridge, VA.
Their excellent bakery department has a number of Muslim women employees (complete with headscarves). I imagine the same applies 15 miles up the road in Fairfax. That’s probably where the offended Muslim baker angle comes from.
As for knowing, the requested cake design incorporated a logo of the organization.
Still wrong to refuse to bake the cake. (Better not pull that stunt in Oregon or the state EEO Nazis will be all over you!)
Has anyone come up with a meme for this cake phenomenon? Seems that every controversy winds up with cake story sooner or later so there should be a name for it. Cakecceptance or Cakefusal perhaps? Or how about bakery justice or bake court?
That’s hilarious!
