This is a local story which may not have been covered in detail elsewhere...
Mom ordered the cake online and the ordering system flagged the “word” as offensive. Rather than just go to the store and order it, she ignored the “—-“ in the ordering system and wrote out an explanation of what the word and phrase meant in the free text part of the form and sent in the order. Most likely, the store just saw the order the way it was with the dashes and did that. She waited until the last minute to pick it up. Store gave her the money back and a gift card for the inconvenience. Poor communication all the way around. -D who graduated Magna —- Laude > On May 23, 2018, at 10:15 AM, G Mann via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> > wrote: > > I wager it is a fair bet the store owner or the employee are the product of > "public education" and have never been exposed to anything bordering on > "Cum Laude" or a GPA of 4.79. > > Or, do they now have "special mention" for GED, or "Dropout". > > On Wed, May 23, 2018 at 7:04 AM, Mitch Haley via Mercedes < > mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > >> We gotta censor any profane words on kids' graduation cakes: >> >> http://abcnews4.com/news/local/censored-sweets-west- >> ashley-family-says-publix-made-a-frosting-faux-pas-with-honors-grad >> >> _______________________________________ >> http://www.okiebenz.com >> >> To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ >> >> To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: >> http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com >> >> > _______________________________________ > http://www.okiebenz.com > > To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ > > To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: > http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com > > _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
