Saying no

It's getting to the point where everybody wants more. Dairy free? Vegan? When when when? Customers are h offing me from all sides wanting more. Do they realize we only have a 2 door refrigerator that is so full that we have to store our milk in our display refrigerator. And our hot water heater is smaller than the one I have at home. Shoot, have more amps at my house too. But they keep asking for more. So we try to add more. It's never enough. Then we run out of some things because we have to make less of them to allow for more variety. Then we run out of three types of cookies in one day. Better get those wrists warmed up for some heavy scooping. Then on a Friday all of a sudden all the cakes are gone and people are calling for more. We give a little, but then it's just too much. We have to say no. Can you do wholesale? We would buy at least 50 pieces per day. That would be every day. But were not open on Sunday. And would we be open for a $60 wholesale order that the bakery would get about $5 in profit? And then the dude who wants the wholesale thinks I'm making a big mistake. And the person wanting vegan thinks I'm making a big mistake. I think trying to do everything is a big mistake. There are bakeries that do wholesale. There are bakeries that do vegan there are taco trucks that do tacos.
