Sometimes if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself.
A patron at the Bloomfield Hills, Michigan Kroger was attempting to get that point across last Saturday when she tried to fix a “Batman v. Superman” birthday cake she ordered for her 7-year-old son, police said.
Bloomfield Township Police did not name the woman, but said she “was not satisfied with the decoration on the cake, so she went behind the bakery counter in an attempt to fix it herself,” according to a police statement cited by the Detroit Free Press.
The woman told police employees allowed her behind the counter, though witnesses allege otherwise. They contend that when employees told the woman she could not make her corrections, she didn’t take it very well.
“This infuriated the woman causing her to take the cake to the front of the counter and ‘drop kick’ it,” Bloomfield police Det. Sgt. John Weise wrote in the report, according to Patch.com. “The action caused pieces of cake and frosting to be strewn about the bakery section of the store.
“The woman quickly left the store, kicking over a wet floor sign on her way out.”
Police tracked down the alleged cake kicker through her contact information on the custom order cake, and she admitted that “she was upset about the poor quality of the decoration and it was not as she expected,” Weise wrote. Witnesses alleged the woman stomped the cake several times and yelled ‘they f***ing ruined my 7-year-old’s birthday cake” before she left, Patch reports.
The woman denied kicking the cake, and told police it “slipped” out of her hands.
Most news reports state the woman was not arrested, though WZYZ contends she was issued an appearance ticket for disorderly conduct.
Kroger does not have video surveillance of the incident, so “police may never know what the birthday cake looked like,” the Free Press reports.
“Oh … the entitlement!” Lee Alvin posted in the WZYZ comments.
“Hope she isn’t driving next to me and decides she doesn’t like my driving,” Jeff Tarsha added.
“What a winner. I bet her kids are going to be proud of her when they grow up,” David Newland wrote.
“Ignorant temper tantrum of an entitled asshat,” Gigi Sharp commented.
“Wow. Maybe it was past naptime. Can you imagine how her children probably act?? Ridiculous,” Christina Hicks wrote.
David Davidson, who alleged to be the woman’s son, came to her defense in the comments section.
“That was my mom, why don’t you people just leave her alone!” he wrote. “Just leave us alone!”
