"What...the Gerber baby- bwahahahahahahahaha<br /><br /><br />"What these bakeries ought to do is contract order-taking out to a call center somewhere."<br />I work in the Quality dept of a large call center. Some of the more harmless spelling errors I've seen include spelling out "underscore" & "at symbol" in emails. Yes, even though every one of them has to be proficient with email! (i.e. cakeunderscorewrecksatsymbolefacepalmdotcom). Did I forget to mention the "dot?" <br /><br />Then there's the ones that get rude. Did you know furnaces "sh_t" down? Nope, not the letter above the "j" but the one to the right of it. :D Spell Check was eventually installed- now, maybe they'll use it one day.<br /><br />There've been a few lewd ones, too, but I can't mention those here (compact DISCS can be mispelled very, very hysterically but men don't find it as funny as women do).<br /><br />-Barbara AnneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-78658565179840072352011-03-15T21:30:32.347-04:002011-03-15T21:30:32.347-04:00The "Gerber Baby" reminds me of the Mexi...The "Gerber Baby" reminds me of the Mexican lady who asked for a figure of a boy in a football uniform, holding a football under his arm .. with a <i>brown</i> face (because he was Mexican).<br /><br />When she came to pick up the cake... there it was, a football player with uniform, helmet and football.... and a CLOWN face.

We can barely hear customers sometimes and end up repeating the spelling and sometimes shouting to be heard. The company refuses to do anything about the phones. Usually when customers call and we are not sure about the message we write what we think they said and annotate "wait to write message until the customer arrives." Usually this saves from scraping the cake. Anyway a customer called and asked if we could do a "Gerber Baby." We talked about the cake and I repeated it back to her many times. I didn't have a picture on hand to work with so I asked her to bring one in. Of course she brought in a picture of a Gerber daisy. If I had gone out of my way to find a picture for the customer as I usually do, I would have made that wreck.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535495750738725882noreply@blogger.com
