Cody's sells a slice of "mile high" carrot cake and they sell it for $8. The slice is HUGE and I honestly think Cody's carrot cake is better than Publix's carrot cake. Cody's cake is so much more moist than Publix. If you like carrot cake, it would be worth your while to try Cody's. You don't even have to dine in; just order the slice to go.

For those who are freaked out about supplying a email, one can beat the fear, have always had a email created just for crap emails. So if a business, wants an email I use that account, I don’t monitor it. Once a month I delete all emails without reading, so those business who sell info gets them no where for me.

Been to cody's in LSL and service the worst we have ever seen. Rarely complain about a business but this one was off the charts terrible.

Publix's carrot cake isn't impressive, I wouldn't compare anything to their carrot cake with regards to "quality." They make awesome breads and various delicious confections (their chocolate fudge layer cake is to die for).

On my money it says something like "legal tender for all debts". Does that mean the business owner has to accept the cash or can they call the police and have me arrested for stealing the cookie?

Even Disney is cashless now. It is easier, quicker and they don’t have to teach their employees to count change.

So at this point is this good free publicity or bad?

I couldn't wait to go to Darlin's to try their desserts and hoped the online reviews weren't correct. Instead, the experience was a disappointment.
The smallest cookies and least expensive cookies are $3 which was ok as long as it was good. I made sure to ask which cookies were baked that day. The worker said only two flavors were baked that day, including the chocolate chip cookie. I chose it and it was dry. So dry that I didn't eat it. I asked if the the cakes and pies were made there and was told no. I didn't ask how old they were nor did I try them.
I paid with my credit card since they don't accept cash and told the worker that some people would like to pay cash. She Interrupted me and told me the owner already heard. Maybe it was an odd day but neither workers smiled throughout the entire transaction nor thanked me at the end. Hopefully someone else has a better experience.

Wonder how long before the owner figures out she has no choice but to either make changes or close?

A dollar tip that they insisted upon?? In what way did they try to intimidate you?
I am not doubting you, I'm just curious as to the tactics used when demanding money but calling it a tip. Weird stuff happens all the time.
