        [deleted]
      - Look, there are a few powerful families which are maybe a dozen. And many, many politicians who are not from those families. -- nm - loosilu Dec 15, 11:04

one more cake tangent - znufrii Dec 15, 10:55 1
- Did you ask for the daughter's phone number? -- nm - Beryllium Dec 15, 10:55
Here's the corrolary question to the cake story. What if they had named their son Jesus Christ instead? Would you be okay with that being on a cake? -- nm - znufrii Dec 15, 10:49 77
- considering Jesus professed living in harmony and with love with one another, no. -- nm - zork Dec 15, 11:06
- Is it a Christmas cake? -- nm - nubby Dec 15, 10:57 1
  - Let's assume not, for the sake of this discussion. -- nm - znufrii Dec 15, 10:58
- I'd offer them the same thing as Adolf. Happy Birthday Jesus. And I leave off the middle name. -- nm - Jim Dec 15, 10:56 13

      - Spawn's *sister* does. - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 15, 11:06
  - yeah, who puts the full name on a cake, anyway? -- nm - Beryllium Dec 15, 10:57 8
    - Someone who wants to make the news when a store refuses to put Happy Birthday Adolf Hitler on a cake, apparently. -- nm - Jim Dec 15, 10:59 1
      - *ding* -- nm - sheba Dec 15, 11:00
    - don't you know anyone who goes by two names? -- nm - loosilu Dec 15, 10:59 3
      - Actually, no, I don't think I do. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 15, 11:07 2
        
        No Mary Kate, Mary Ann, etc? -- nm - loosilu Dec 15, 11:09 1
        
        Not off the top of my head, no. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 15, 11:10
    - A Republican pastry chef in the new administration? -- nm - sheba Dec 15, 10:58
    - people who gave their child a specific name for a reason. -- nm - znufrii Dec 15, 10:58
- If the parents (who are clearly racist) had asked this of a Jewish bakery, I might support the bakery, but ultimately, unless you're talking history, - sheba Dec 15, 10:55 15
  - [deleted] 14
    - Yes. The owners take the risks and pay the costs of running the store. That gives them the right of fair refusal of service. - Name Withheld By Request Dec 15, 11:01 3
      - [deleted] 2
        
        If it comes to basic rights, sure, but it's pushing things to an illogical extreme to suggest that access to a store-decorated birthday cake should... - Name Withheld By Request Dec 15, 11:07 1
        
        [deleted]
    - the owner of Chik-fil-A thinks it's his right to refuse to serve any of his customers on a Sunday. People here have defended that incessantly. -- nm - znufrii Dec 15, 11:00 8
      - He's denying all patrons (by not being open) his service. - Will Hunting Dec 15, 11:06
      - he doesn't have to open his store on a Sunday if he doesn't want to. -- nm - loosilu Dec 15, 11:02
      - What a strange way to word it. He's not "refusing" anyone. They simple aren't open. There's noone to refuse. -- nm - Don Homer Dec 15, 11:01 5
        
        [deleted]
        
        Maybe znu sits there on Sundays? hoping? praying? -- nm - Inigo Dec 15, 11:02
        
        he's refusing to serve his customers by refusing to open his stores. -- nm - znufrii Dec 15, 11:02 2
        
        But if we go with that logic, all stores would have to be open 24/7 to avoid periods of service refusal. -- nm - sheba Dec 15, 11:04
        
        *head explodes* -- nm - loosilu Dec 15, 11:03
    - absolutely it is. -- nm - loosilu Dec 15, 10:58
- Because when you think about it, more people have probably died in Jesus' name than Hitler is responsible for... -- nm - Cuzzin the Red Nosed Todd Dec 15, 10:53 1
  - Aww crap, and I was gonna name my next kid Love. -- nm - Inigo Dec 15, 11:00
- I'm enjoying the fact that whether it's Hitler cake or Jesus cake, they would both taste just as good. -- nm - con_carne Dec 15, 10:53
- Once again, the store can refuse...Besides it isn't that hard to put a name on a cake - amoxy Dec 15, 10:52 11
  - It's not as easy as it looks. Somebody with a lot of practice would make it look a whole lot better than I could. -- nm - mara Dec 15, 10:52 10
    - It's for a 3 year old. They don't care -- nm - amoxy Dec 15, 10:57
    - Maybe if you spent less time on here and more time practicing your cake decorating you'd be a lot better at it! - steve114 si Dec 15, 10:54 6
      - Curious. He's been gone a long time and we still use "si". Why, I wonder? -- nm - TWuG Dec 15, 10:55 5
        
        My practice is to always use SI a TTer, and never for a non-TTer. It's just a rule I follow. -- nm - mara Dec 15, 10:58
        
        maybe he lurks and will get pissed off if we don't use it, and then he'll come back to berate us? -- nm - Beryllium Dec 15, 10:56
        
        Don't want to scare anyone into thinking he's back. I fear the "inspirational column" more than anything. -- nm - Cuzzin the Red Nosed Todd Dec 15, 10:56 2
        
        laughing. -- nm - candy canes love mandy lane Dec 15, 11:04 1
        
        I as hoping you'd read that. ;) -- nm - Cuzzin the Red Nosed Todd Dec 15, 11:06
    - so they can find a baker who'll do it. this one baker doesn't have a duty. -- nm - loosilu Dec 15, 10:53 1
      - This is true. Ya know, there's a bakery right near here called the Rheinland ... I bet they'd do it. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 15, 10:54
- No! -- nm - Herod's Fine Baked Goods Dec 15, 10:51
- i would be ok if a private company wanted to refuse to make it and they had to go somewhere else to have it done....nm - x Dec 15, 10:51 2
  - Ding. The store should get to make the call and take whatever grief they get one way or the other. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 15, 10:53 1
    - i imagine the business that shoprite will get for refusing little hitler on a cake will outweigh what they'd get for future nazi baked goods...nm - x Dec 15, 10:58
- Jesus is a very common Hispanic name. just saying. and what I think is irrelevant; I think it's the store's business. -- nm - loosilu Dec 15, 10:51 2
  - And Adolf is a common enough German name. There's intent in the kid's name, though, that no one should be forced to accommodate. -- nm - TWuG Dec 15, 10:53 1
    - Intent? What intent? Just because his sister's middle name is Aryan Nation ... sheesh ... *snicker* -- nm - Beryllium Dec 15, 10:58
- [deleted] 2
  - [insert post about religion killing people here] - oblique Dec 15, 10:51 1
    - not quite the angle I was approaching it from, but okay. - znufrii Dec 15, 10:52
- Again, store's right to refuse, customer's right to boycott/shame. I'd think the kid's parents are as nuts as the ones in question. -- nm - TWuG Dec 15, 10:50
- Sure, if that's that kid's name, there's 0% issue with it. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 15, 10:50 17
  - Happy birthday "Screw You CakeMaker No I'm Serious This Is Really the Kid's Name"! -- nm - nubby Dec 15, 10:58
  - I, personally, would not want those parents as customers. And would give them terrible customer service. -- nm - Amy Dec 15, 10:52 15
    - Until their money doesn't spend the same or they start asking me for overtly offensive things instead of facts on the public record....i'm cool with - Will Hunting Dec 15, 10:55 12
      - Happy birthday Osama bin Laden Jones! -- nm - nubby Dec 15, 11:02 2
        
        dude. that's not my kid! -- nm - candy canes love mandy lane Dec 15, 11:10
        
        Islamaphobe! -- nm - Dr.Vermin Dec 15, 11:10
      - Sure...it is good enough for a cake. But apparently not at this bakery. Go somewhere else. -- nm - Jim Dec 15, 10:58
      - OMG, I've been crappy to TONS of customers for so much less. I worked retail for decades, and then the library desk. -- nm - Amy Dec 15, 10:57
      - [deleted] 4
        
        Not really. That kid's name is most likely on the public record. - Will Hunting Dec 15, 11:02 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        I don't see how. -- nm - mara Dec 15, 10:59 1
        
        [deleted]
      - naming your child "Adolf Hitler" isn't overtly offensive in and of itself? - znufrii Dec 15, 10:56
      - when you open your own bakery, I'm sure they'll be happy customers. -- nm - loosilu Dec 15, 10:56
    - Or anyone who gives their kids an inflamtory name. Not a "bad" name--but a life ruiner. -- nm - Amy Dec 15, 10:53 1
      - IMO, it's abusive. -- nm - loosilu Dec 15, 10:54
Who hasn't been in a service job and given someone crappy service just because you don't want them coming back? No one admits to it, but I've done it -- nm - Amy Dec 15, 10:49 11
- I'm with you on the wal mart thing. target is so much costlier. what the crap is bag balm anyway? -- nm - candy canes love mandy lane Dec 15, 11:00 6

      - (spoiler) - kelly Dec 15, 11:07
      - not me. but knowing now what it is, I wouldn't look for it at wal mart. maybe ag supply store? -- nm - candy canes love mandy lane Dec 15, 11:07 1
        
        Well, it is on Walmart.com, so one would assume it's sold in stores as well. -- nm - kelly Dec 15, 11:08
- I hate when people abuse my time and ability because I do things well... - Mel Profit Dec 15, 10:56
- Is this related to the cake, or to my Walmart post. - kelly Dec 15, 10:54
- I worked the camera counter at Target and if people would annoy me, I'd push/recommend the REALLY crappy cameras. - Cuzzin the Red Nosed Todd Dec 15, 10:52
- Oh, hells yes. Everyone knew who the problem customers were and they got crappy service because of their attitude even when given good service. -- nm - TWuG Dec 15, 10:51
Hmmm, it will be an interesting day today...the boss just walked in took the lid off her coffee - amoxy Dec 15, 10:48 1
- Like deliberately as if trying to be sexy and then realized it wasn't water but hot coffee? - HdnAgnda Dec 15, 10:50
"and I want it to read "Happy Birthday to a degenerate creature of darkness."" -- nm - Bolt Dec 15, 10:48
Happy birthday, spamlet! -- nm - nubby Dec 15, 10:48 3
- Why are spamlet's parents so mad at Walmart? -- nm - oblique Dec 15, 10:49 2
  - he wanted a spamcake for his birthday and the bastards wouldn't make it....nm - x Dec 15, 10:50
  - Because little girl cakes should be decorated in pink, not blue. -- nm - Walmart Dec 15, 10:50
Jeez. I didn't know the Greek were so pissed off -- (link) - oblique Dec 15, 10:47 5

      - nope...what is it? -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 15, 11:08 1
        
        Saw it on the shelf, takes place during Episode IV. More insight to the building of the station. - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 15, 11:14
