In a humorous incident that has captivated social media, a customer’s unusual request to a cake seller led to a comical misunderstanding.
The customer asked for a cake with RM1,000 in real money hidden inside but was surprised to learn that the total cost would include the hidden cash.
The conversation, which unfolded on WhatsApp, saw the customer initially inquire about the price of a ‘money-pulling’ cake.
Shocked to know it wasn’t part of cake cost
When informed that the cake, inclusive of the RM1,000 cash, would cost RM1,230, the customer was baffled, believing the cash inside the cake should be part of the cake’s cost.
The seller, taken aback by the customer’s expectation, humorously asked if the RM1,000 was expected to be a donation from their side.
The exchange ended without confirmation of whether the transaction was completed.
This incident, originally shared in 2021, resurfaced on social media, eliciting amusement and comments from netizens.
Many found the customer’s naivety entertaining, while others empathized with the seller’s frustration.
