the Cheesecake Factory is a bunch of sadists

My sister and I signed up last year onto the Cheesecake Factory's emailing list, to get free offers and what-not; periodically we'll get a reminder of some holiday (with no specials) to encourage us to spend money. Last week we got an email titled "What Are You Doing For Mother's Day?"

My sister threatened to email them back with: Well, MY mother's dead. What are YOU doing for Mother's Day? Rub it in, why don't you?

Today I got an email from them titled "Veronica, Mom Wants Cheesecake." My immediate thought was, wait, did they have a seance, and the woman placed an order from beyond the grave? Am I expected to pay for that if they actually find a way to deliver it to her, or can she maybe put it instead on her BooExpress Card? (Motto: "Don't Leave This Earth Without It.")

This reminds me of that family who got emails from one of their dead relatives.

Years ago, I remember there being some service that you could set up and pay for, that would send an email to whomever you wanted upon being notified of your death - things like account information, passwords, final thoughts, what-not. That'd be a lot better than some bot stealing and spamming!
