How much would you pay for food per head for a wedding? Does $37 sound unreasonable? Well, this poor caterer’s customer seemed to think so.
The caterer, Oneek, shared on Twitter a text message exchange she had with a potential customer that has appalled basically everyone who’s read it.
The unnamed customer – who is the god-daughter of the bride – tried to haggle with Oneek in the worst possible way, suggesting that she should work for practically nothing because of the “opportunity” for exposure.
After introducing herself as the woman who contacted her through Instagram, the goddaughter proceeded to list the bride’s extensive breakfast buffet menu, which included a waffle and omelette station (with swordfish and crab meat), chicken wings in “all the flavours you can think of”, prawns, salmon and fresh fruit. Oh, and 200 cupcakes.

Does anyone else feel weird about these professional business transactions/interactions all happening by text? I know I'm a million years old (39), but I still feel that if you're a legit customer and a legit business, you will pick up the phone and talk to each other, at least for the initial contact. Or even email is better than a casual text....right?
