I believe I should be able to walk into the bakery and ask for a dozen cupcakes and have the person there interview me for the needed information, and then give me a box with my cupcakes, made the way I asked they be made.

Plus ask all the questions that are likely to be needed.  ( CORS would be my example for that.)
