Alliance Bakery and Cafe

I just experienced the worst case of price gouging/ undercover racism over a Michael Jackson cookie at Alliance Bakery. Earlier today Michael Jackson cookies were being sold at Alliance Bakery out of the case for $2.95. Later on today I called to price / time check a special order. Tyler quoted me $2.95 with a two-day notice. I requested for the icing “skin color” of the cookie to be brown instead of white like the original design. Tyler told me this would be done with food coloring not chocolate and the price would remain $2.95. I told Tyler I would call him right back so I could figure out how many cookies to order. I called back less than two minutes later to order two-dozen cookies and was told the cookie was now $3.95. I talked to the owner of Alliance Bakery to share my experience and was yelled at and hung-up on. My question is…Is brown Michael Jackson more delicious than white Michael Jackson? Why did the price increase a dollar for a change in skin color???
