      What I do not get is that there seem to be a lot of single moms who are unaware by how much their child reduces their market value on the dating market.
      Having a child significantly reduces anyone's dating pool: cross out all people who don't want kids, don't feel ready for kids, are waiting to be sure to have found the right partner before having kids, and last but not least all those who just do not want responsibility for someone else's child.
      There are probably a lot more factors, but those are the first ones that just came to my mind.
      To all the single moms out there: be proud of your child, but also be aware that it does certainly not increase your value on the dating market by 75 to 100 bucks for each date.

      I don't know much about weddings or venues but don't you usually get to the cake/catering towards the later end of planning once you receive back RSVP's and know who's coming so you know what is suitable to both the newlyweds and the families? I can see that she probably did both but once seeing how much she was paying, she got upset and decided to get the cake elsewhere for cheap. And probably in the process she wanted to downsize the price by guilt tripping the people responsible for the cake because it was so close to her wedding day.

    I did the math, €150 equals about $145. Wedding cakes can go between $100 - $1000. On average people spend $350 on wedding cakes, So a $145 for a wedding cake is in fact, a very good deal ( In the US at least)

    The wedding cake story: don't add a mental stress tax. Increase your base rates for wedding cakes and, on delivery, offer an "awesome customer" discount if they've been good to work with. Adding a mental health fee, funny as that might be, will drive away good and bad customers.

    Honestly, the only good thing about #3 is that she expects the server to be tipped well. And she's not the type to hop into someone's bed at the first date, I hope. Everything else is beyond nuts.

      At least she is nice enough to warn them.....better than being tricked. How often it happens that many pretend and end up wasting both people's time.
