Inspirational WalMart Cake

tags: ,

Would you like to work for a place that does something like this?

I wonder if the conversation that led to this cake went something like this?

Walmart Employee: Hello dis Walmarts, how can I help you?
Customer: I would like to order a cake for a going away party this week.
Walmart Employee: What you want on dat cake?
Customer: "Best Wishes Suzanne" and underneath that "We will miss you"

I'm no fan of WalMart's. Too much disruption of the retail world at the expense of the global environment and workers around the world and too little attention to the needs of its own workers. My side of the political fence is not friendly WalMart territory, to be sure.
The American Family Association is really obsessed with Walmart's decisions to court gay customers, so much so that it is willing to completely distort reality in order to whoop up its mostly mindless followers into an anti-gay frenzy.

I just saw the image and your first sentence in my Google Reader. It took several readings of the cake to come to the same conclusion as you. It probably made Suzanne's going away party pretty funny with everyone mocking the cake decorator.

The conversation (if this was real) was probably similar to that, except it started more like:

*customer waits for 5-10 minutes for someone to notice him/her*
Employee: Yeah, dis Walmarts, *large sigh* whatchu want?

IIRC, this came from one of the side forums at Customers Suck!. I know I've seen it on one of those gripe sites....
