So, Ashley was pretty ticked off. In fact, she even got accused of overcharging her friend.
“But, I showed her the price breakdown. I used the same pricing system as one of the bakeries I worked at, and it wasn’t even the most expensive one,” she explained.
“I also told her I would do it for the other quote if she was strapped for money. But then, Ashley asked me to do it for only one hundred and fifty dollars.” Yikes!
She was totally taken aback and asked Ashley why in the world she would ever create such an elaborate wedding dessert for that little.
And Ashley apparently claimed she should get the cheaper rate since they are friends and that she should think of it as a “wedding gift.” But, the real truth is that Ashley wanted to use the leftover cash to upgrade her honeymoon hotel.
Anyway, she reiterated that Ashley was already getting a good deal since she was willing to lower her price point to the previous baker’s. Ashley still did not understand, though.
Instead, Ashley began referencing how she made her sister’s cake for free a few years ago and how she makes birthday and anniversary cakes for her family all the time.
“But, I told her family and friends are not the same. Plus, I had more time to make my sister’s cake as I had fewer responsibilities as a teacher back then compared to what I do now,” she said.
Regardless, they continued having a back-and-forth argument over the past until she finally put her foot down and said, “The discount is you get 0% off 100% of the time, and if you keep bothering me, I’ll even add tax.”
Obviously, Ashley did not like her response and ended up telling the entire bridal party about what she had said. So now, she is getting hounded by nine other women who are urging her to drop the price.
In fact, the other bridesmaids are even claiming that she doesn’t need the money as much as Ashley does since her parents paid for her wedding.
