j1workman Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 I was curious if anyone wanted to share some outrageous requests they've had? I thought it might be a fun war-story kind of thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandgirl Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 This is not a request for candles, but......I worked in a deli a few years ago and one customer told me that the swiss cheese I had just cut for him did not have enough holes in it!!!!Then he proceeded to say... "You don't know my wife, she is very picky when it comes to swiss cheese." (ALL I was thinking was...THANK GOD I DON"T KNOW YOUR WIFE!!! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 So, did you cut more holes in the cheese??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accents Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Not a real request, really, but my husband and one of his customers (he sells food, this was a butcher) thought I should find something that smells like ribs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juliette Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 I thought this was a little odd - at least for a wedding reception.120 floating candles shaped like Mickey Mouse heads, 60 in white, 60 in red. The bride is a hug Walt Disney fan. Their invitations even had Mickey Mouse on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pamperme Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Not a real request, really, but my husband and one of his customers (he sells food, this was a butcher) thought I should find something that smells like ribs.BBQ ribs I could see..just be glad they did not ask for a candle that smells like Cheese. :rolleyes2 I have still not had a strange request yet. ..i did have a friend of my husbands eat a piece of soy wax..since I told him it was made from soy beans he wanted to taste it.

KristinesShower Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Had a customer ask me if we could duplicate the new Downey scent ( it is the new orange one?) - that seemed innocent enough, but she proceeded to tell me how she "would bring the Downey in and everything" andI "wouldn't even have to spend a little extra money finding the scent"LMAO!! She honestly thought I could use the actual fabric softener IN the candle!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
