Customs.... Oi Vey

So. Today was the final day of custom scheduling. And what a day it was! I do not recall ever being more frustrated with our customers. Just a smidgen of what we experienced today:

-A guy pointed to the soda machine, and very seriously inquired, "So... Is that where I get soda?" and "Do I have to pay for it first?"

-"So, is this all your flavors?" "No, we're hiding more in the back in our secret cave... Just kidding." "Oh really? Then could I have german chocolate?" ..... yeah.

-We got screamed at! Poor Jaycee. Silly thing really, not being able to have a cup and a cone with her kid's meal.

-Kat got asked out... and then stalked ten minutes later. Way to hide behind the ice cream counter girly.

-Britt dropped a guy's change and he stood there looking at it dumbly instead of bending to pick it up. (It was the same soda guy)

-We had a never-ending line. It wasn't even "red light, green light" either... it was all-our GREEN!

-So, this lady wanted to know if the 'scotcharoos" were actually peanut butter brownies. She was politely informed that they were not, in fact, peanut butter brownies to which the hag replied, 'So wait... they ARE brownies? Like, peanut butter?" .... All we could do was stare and mentally say, "Why don't you try one for yourself and see."... She bought one and complained that it didn't taste quite like a brownie should.

-Customers asked countless times if "these are all the flavors you have". We politely replied that, yes, these were all the flavors and proceeded to name them: "vanilla, chocolate, and peanut butter cup". To which the reply was, "okay then, I'll have Cookies and Cream."

Now write your own favorite stories from customs!!!!! :) I have many, many more... but want to hear yours!
