I've been looking forward to Dimples Cupcakes opening in Willow Bend for a while now. When Liz and I started planning our MNO fundraiser I contacted them to see if they would donate a door prize and maybe some goody bag stuffers. Obviously, it would benefit us, but it would also be a great way for them to get their info out there to a set of consumers in their target market.
The man I have dealt with from the beginning started out telling me it "shouldn't be problem!" and that he just had to confirm some stuff. I sent him the info over a month ago, have followed up various times only to get the "I've been busy, still need to check" line from him. And each time he got increasingly more rude on the phone to me. Finally, I called today to see if he could finally confirm everything for this weekend and he was terribly rude. He went on and on about how they give so much and are so busy and acted as if he hadn't even really considered our proposal at all.
Listen, I'm not mad about being told no. That's understandable. What I am mad about was his attitude and that he wasted my time.
Don't think I'll be lining up for any of their cupcakes any time soon. Oh well.

Exactly, Char. I don't get my feelings hurt when people tell me no. I realize that not everyone can give to everything. That's life, that's business. Just don't waste my time. Ugh.
On a happier note, just sent out a frantic last minute email to this lady after discovering her info at Boomerangs (a flier laying around) not too long ago.

She got back to me super fast and offered donations! She won a Food Network contest with her Maple French Toast and Bacon cupcake recipe. Yay!
