OMG. What in the world did you do? Please fill us in on the horrid details. And do tell us that she has to pay up-front for all that 'extra' stuff.
Sheesh...I'd be soooo tempted to just get a few extra big bags of Doritos. Well, that's why I don't turn Tricks.
Who does she think she's dealing with here? The Magical Food Fairy?

Please tell me that there is a cancellation cause built into your contract with these idiots. Or, at the very least, a time and a billion extra payment policy.

Oh, they didn't! That's insane! What kind of surcharge can you tack on for that?

Can you just provide the original amount of food you agreed to & let the Client divy it up amongst however many guests who bother to show up?

ARRRRRGGGGHHHH!! What magic wand were you supposed to wave in order to feed the extra 100 (!) people? This ain't the parable of the loaves and fishes, baby.

"Hi, Client. This is the Food Whore. I got your voicemail and that's just fine. Please note that I will be glad to accomodate your 120 extra guests by supplementing my delectable and elegant preparations with KFC buckets and the fee for the entire Trick will be multiplied by the number of extra guests; please feel free to invite more. > I hope that's okay! Thaa-anks!"

My response would be either "BITCH" (if the client is female) or "BASTARD" (if the client is male) -- that's so totally inconsiderate!

Sometimes I wish you could share their e-mail addys :)

Not nice -- I know

Wow!! A lot of times when I read your blog I think to myself "That just can't be, people absolutely CANNOT be that stupid!!" but then I walk out my door and mingle, and by God, yes they can be that stupid! I'm so sorry. I hope it helps a little that you can vent here.

I hope you doubled your price. That's the only acceptable response when people pull s__t like that.

Oh Good Lord. And it's only October-- what will the collective client be pulling come December?

"Sweet Mother of God" - I am so glad your language is so much better than mine because I would have to hold the shift key down and hit the number keys about a gazillion times! OMG!
(...and the KFC comment was golden - I second that motion!)
What will you do FW? Who can get that kind of food delivered and cooked in that short of period of time?
I would go to the local butcher - buy him out and charge her double what you had to pay.

Good Luck and I wish I were closer - I would blow off my job and come help.

Bless ya' girlie!

Were you wearing your "Super Whore" cape when you originally met with her?

Bet you can hardly wait for the holiday season to begin! I can only assume you're still in this business because you just can't wait to see what level of abysmal stupidity and lack of consideration people will reach next. I hope you post the details of this Trick.

yikes! i just don't know how you cope with this... when someone doesn't even bother getting back, i'd assume it's cancelled and you get to keep the deposit!

charge them more, more, more!! *evil laughter*

What a bunch of retarded people! Obviously, she doesn't have a clue how long it takes to prepare good food! (She is probably one of these women who feed her kids pizza pops and frozen dinner treats instead of actually cooking)

Hey, that's an idea!.....you could go out and buy 120 Michelina frozen dinners for all the extra guests and then charge an "administration" fee for going out to get them and heat them up for the trick! (eeheehee) :)

LOLOLOLOLOL

People are ass hats.

Do you have written contracts for your catering events? You know, those spell out the ramifications of acting the asspirate at the last minute?
Seriously, are they pulling this shit on you even after the process is explained about cancellations and add-ons and menu change deadlines?

Is there a percentage of over or under thats in the contract? ya know, with a "this contract will self destruct if you add more than 10% of agreed-upon guests".

This is the sort of thing that would have me hugging myself and rocking back and forth in a corner.

You HAVE to tell us what recourse you ended up taking with this f**kwit!!

Can't wait to hear the recap on this lil' beaut.

People suck.
