Thank you so much everyone. I just had to come here and vent. I was in the moment, ugh, still am. while working on other orders I could feel my face was HOT just from my blood boiling!
to fill in some of the blanks, I'm not in the united states.
The customer was filthy rich, and worked for royalty. So I guess she thinks she's a spoiled little princess. The "hospital room" was a private WING in the fanciest hospital in town that seems more like a 5 star resort. The "security" are people who sit outside the wing to make sure "rif raf" like us cant go in and disturb the customer.
My husband said he saw the inside of the room, and it was actually 2 rooms, one with a bed and another "living room" attached to the "bedroom. He said it looked like a hotel room just with a hospital bed. In her "wing" she is allowed to do whatever and have whoever in the room. Security I guess just makes sure youre on the list, and kicks people out. Theyre just guys who work for the hospital, ie, work for the rich patient whose room theyre sitting in front of.
For any confusion, the order wasnt forced out of my husbands hands by security, the security guard said to him, "here I'll give it to her and get the money", then came out and told my husband she wouldnt pay. He told him to go get her, and thats when she threw her fit. I had a good sit down with hubby tonight and explained to him what to do in these situations, and I'm just glad he took back the pops.
He is going to go there tomorrow to attempt to get the remainder she owes me. Now, she is under the assumptions he is just some "delivery guy". I never told her he was my husband. Another thing she doesnt know, is my husband is an OFFICER AND LUITENANT CURNAL (spelling?!!?) in the Royal airforce, and flight partenr to the prince himself. Tomorrow he's showing up to demand the remaining money for the pops she ate in full uniform and with back up. (rather than the jeans and t shirt!)

Oh GOD this is gonna be good.

She paid in cash but I do have a receipt that states the deposit was paid and there was a remaining unpaid balance. If she doesnt fork over the cash tomorrow, I'm taking legal action.

and yes cakers, it's all over my facebook now and from now on ALL orders less than $150 must be paid in FULL or my oven stays cold. All orders OVER $150 require a 50% deposit before I touch a spatula. Lesson learned the hard way. If it inconviniences them they can go elsewhere. NO POPS FOR THEM.

and yes 300 pops for a birth is rediculous. she ordered 200 cupcakes and 100 cookies from my friend (also not paid yet).

I have another order for 150 pops for a 1 year old birthday party. uuh, when my kids turned one we invited the grandparents and a few other women who had 1 year olds. It was at cici's pizza!!

Wow..Now this all makes sense....Spoiled Princess is right!!

theres also a "in hospital" salon that sends make up artists and hairstylists to your room to make you "presentable" to your guests. And a menu to choose your meals from. And a butler LOL I'm not kidding.
This is beyond hollywood. rediculous.
one of my friends was a private tutor for very wealthy families such as this. Hotel owners, car dealership owners, some royalty, etc. She said they were ALWAYS the ones who made her chase after her money and wait for it. Sometimes she had to wait up to a month to get her money from them. I'm not saying all wealthy people are like that, but it seems the ones in my town are. All middle class/upper middle class have always paid me on time and in full, even with a tip. But this is my first super wealthy family...Why!!! It's not like they cant afford it?? you cant afford my pops but you can afford the hospital to the stars?!

I didn't realize that CiCi's pizza was all over the world now! That is cool. Sorry about your experience.

What an odd situation ....sorry you are having such a difficult time of things. I look forward to hearing the outcome of your husband's next visit to her in the hospital.

Wow, hard lesson learned. And, yes, the rich are notorious about stiffing the working class. SIGH. As for the hospital, my daughter just had her baby and had a decent sized private room. However, there was no way there'd be 300 visitors allowed!UGH! As for the fees. Learn the lesson...deposit of 50% no less than 1 month in advance and payment in FULL at least 2 weeks before the order is due. No full payment before delivery means no delivery...period.

Hope your husband scares the bejesus out of her!LOL!

Cat

Wish your hubby could take in a hidden camera. hee hee.

I learned decades ago that the people WITH the money are the hardest ones to get money out of. Looks like it still rings true.

Sometimes those rich people spend a little more than they actually have, thus, the run-around.

Super wealthy people are used to things being given to them. Or they have someone else to pay the bills so they don't have to 'deal' with those things. She very well may have never written a check in her life or even knows how to pay someone for something. She may also be very surprised that the 200 plus people she was planning on debuting her grandchild to, may not have shown up in the droves she was hoping for. Perhaps she stiffed them too! So sorry for such a tough lesson to learn.

I am terribly sorry to hear about this happening to you. The entire situation is unconscionable and this nasty brat has some bad karma coming her way.

I was glad to read about your husband appearing there in full uniform tomorrow. Please let us know how it turns out!

I don't know about you guys, but after I had my baby, the last thing I wanted was a room full of people (except for family and very close friends), and they only stayed a bit. Giving birth is exhausting.

I'm not in the united states and the royal army is a little different where i am, where 'luitenant curnal' is the rank that comes after "major".
lt. captian, captian, then major, then lt. curnal, then curnal I believe? He is in line for squadrin commander in a few years.
And yep he's going in uniform lol. I want her intimidated > !
And thats what happened.
She texted me a few hours ago saying "send your 'driver' tonight for the remaining money. (the pops she served). When my husband got there, she wasnt even there!
He had the security of the actual hospital with him just incase she got rowdy (versus the private ones that just guard her room like last time.)
So they summon the woman from the room and some other lady comes out, looks at my husband, and says "who are you? what do you want?"

He says im collecting for cakes and bakes.
She said she didnt know what he was talking about! So he explained there was a remaining unpaid balance and they scurried around to collect it. When they gave it to him my husband told them not to buy things they cant pay for and left.and he said it loud too.

And just another update,lthe pops she returned i already sold on special to a woman who liked them so much, she made another order for her daughters birthday.

love the popcorn eating picture... that's exactly what I was thinking. LOL

Thank you Indydebi and Sangriacupcake for sticking up for me. Never got slammed on a forum post before. I was merely stating that I personally would not want a party in my room after giving birth. I really don't consider that a *$%$ attitude.
