Change.org Petition Demands Costco Bring Back Sheet Cakes

"Last month, Costco discontinued its beloved half-sheet cakes. It was, reports Fox Business, a public safety measure: the cakes were “dropped as social-distancing measures during the COVID-19 pandemic curbed large parties.” A massive cake is not responsible at a time like this. A large cake is but an invitation for a party, and so: small cakes for small gatherings only. Costco announced it would focus on 10-inch round cakes instead, which the company says are meant to feed between eight and ten people. \nCould Costco perhaps at least make special-order sheet cakes, distraught fans wondered? No. The company itself has not offered an official explanation for the greater change in cake policy, but Costco did gently explain, on social media, that it had reduced service in some departments to allow for social distancing among employees, and therefore was not currently taking special orders. Okay, but would they return eventually? “We have no immediate plans to bring back,” said the company in a statement, reiterating its newfound commitment to the socially responsible 10-inchers." - Rachel Sugar
