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."

I think the best part of customs was watching all of us slowly slip into insanity. When people start falling on the ground laughing about the word "crappy" or "THIS is the no-mess zone", then you know something is wrong.
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA SO TRUE! Oh and p.s. how exactly do we add our own stories? Do we need a login name and password??
ReplyDeleteYes, you need a gmail account I think. :)
ReplyDeleteSo, I just figured out how to do this thing. You can get updates about the blog if you have aone of several email accounts. On the right hand side ofthe blog, you can press "follow this blog" and then click it and it will bring you through the whole process.... try it out
ReplyDeleteI had another fun one last night. Some freshman kid asked me if those were all the flavors we had, and I said, "Yes, unless you know the secret password." He said he didn't know the password, and I told him I was kidding. Then he saw the side freezers and asked what was in them.
ReplyDelete"They are what they say they are," I said, pointing to a Vanilla. "This one is Vanilla."
"Oh, so you do have more ice cream!" the kid said.
"No," I said. "These are the same three flavors that we have right here."
Finally he began to understand. "Wait, so these are the only flavors you have?" "Yes." "Well, that's very frustrating!"
You're telling me!
