A similar name
You are at brunch in a friend's kitchen.
Yesterday you shared online an alarming article headlined as saying that Lang's, a bakery in your town, had failed its health inspection, without reading past the headline. At brunch in a friend's kitchen, you are at the table with Oksana, a city health inspector, and Mercedes, who is blind and uses a white cane.
The scene
Oksana: That article's wrong. It's a different Lang's, two towns over.
Mercedes: Oh no. I told my whole choir. We canceled Saturday's cake order.
Oksana: Then post a correction today and name them. You started this.
Mercedes: I'll fix the order quietly. But post it again and people only remember 'Lang's' and 'inspection.'

- 1What would you say to Oksana and Mercedes, and what would you do next?
