Old Cupcakes made fresh

I went to Shoprite Bothasig on 22/04/15 Wednesday at 17:15 and ordered 36 cup cakes from the bakery for my son's cake sale on Friday, I asked for the order to be ready at 17:30 the following day. I was then told that it might be a problem because the lady that bakes will be on leave the next day, but they would ask Joseph (manager) to give me a call Thursday morning to confirm my order.<br> On Thursday I waited until 12:00 with no feed back from Shoprite when I then decided to call the bakery, I asked to speak to Joseph but he was not available, I then spoke to Bianca who told me that my order was ready, I asked her if the cupcakes were freshly made the same day and her response was no the cupcakes were from what they had on display from the previous day.<br> I thought this was totally unacceptable, I ordered cupcakes for the following day so that they will be fresh but then get given days old cupcakes instead, I cancelled the order immediately.<br> <br> Surely everyone that places orders like this expects their goods to be fresh, I can only assume that this incident was caused by poor management or low quality standards.<br> <br> <br> <br> Regards,<br> <br> Jonathan<br>
