    Well, the manager said they would discount the cake based on the cost of the action figure, which isn't the same as reimbursing the entire amount. So the guy got a free cake, but didn't make extra money on the deal.

    Right? Right? Please let me be right.

      "We just got our kid from child protection services" ?
      Now that takes the cake!

        d agreed to discount SC whatever he spent on action figures for the cake. SC left, and came back 20 minutes later with a receipt. He had, of course, bought the most expensive action figures he could find
        I wondered if the guy bought the figures after he talked to the manager.

        When I was growing up, I didn't get a choice of what flavor or how the cake looked like. I bet the parent bought figures of lamer Star Wars characters, like 8D8 or Salacious Crumb or Dr. Evasan.

          According to the OP (emphasis mine):
          So he found a store manager, who knew nothing of the whole situation and agreed to discount SC whatever he spent on action figures for the cake. SC left, and came back 20 minutes later with a receipt. He had, of course, bought the most expensive action figures he could find - so not only did he get the cake for free, my department ended up owing him a refund!
          Hence my earlier comment.

            Thankfully we didn't have to hear his Child Protection backstory. And the SM who gave him his free cake was PISSED after my extremely angry DM told him what was really up. As to the edible image, I did not know about the copyright until I mentioned the picture suggestion to the cake decorator. So I guess it's a good thing he didn't want to do the work to bring me a picture, since we couldn't have done it anyway.

              Whats wrong with a cake that just has generic decorations on it?

              I'm a fan of those rainbow colored sprinkles myself.

                maybe it's me but i'm wondering if he'd planned to do that all along - get a free cake that is.


                and is it bad that part of me is shuddering at the phrase "We just got our kid back from Child Protection"?

                  I rather suspect that myself.

                  Why would it be bad? I think it's very good; I have the same reaction.
