Be pleasant and you might score a free mini cake upon entering Nothing Bundt Cakes, the Texas-based chain that lives up to its corny name.
Unknown to most customers, employees at the 300-plus stores across the nation adhere to a customer-appreciation program that allows them to comp five shoppers per day a flavor-of-the-month cake, drizzled always with decent cream cheese frosting. The giveaways are discretionary.
In late August I landed a toothsome “raspberry bliss” cake after the sales guy said, “You look nice.” This, despite a mask concealing my scowl, which was generated moments earlier in the parking lot by a maskless dork wearing socks and sandals and coughing as he walked passed me. No free stuff for you, bro.
The featured flavor for September is pumpkin spice (yawn). It will continue for a three-month run because, you know, it’s pumpkin spice. On Dec. 1, the flavor changes to Snickerdoodle. Visit http://www.nothingbundtcakes.com for more info.
Yes I’d say she was probably right in her assessment- you do look nice😂
