To put them in the situation of getting offended would be absolutely intolerable.
I asked to have a cake made and decorated by Wegman’s once. The writing on the cake looked like it was done by a psychopath trying to camouflage his handwriting. Took to customer service and told them I’d be embarrassed to give anyone that cake, left it in the counter and walked out. Now that I think about it, they might not have understood that I meant it was sloppy. The cake’s message was supposed to look like I bought it on clearance. It was a joke. It said “Happy Bar mitzvah, Irving!”
