  • Ice Cream Suck

    I took this week off from work, and assumed I would be SC-free. Not so much.



    I went to Marble Slab to get some ice cream this afternoon. I walked in and I was the only customer in there, and there was one(as in less than two but more than zero, a singularity, *1*) girl behind the counter dishing up the goods. I ordered a scoop in a waffle bowl and as she was putting it together for me, this nasty looking woman comes in dragging an unwashed little girl with her, walks right between me and the counter(a space less than 2 feet) and, using her outside voice, starts rattling off a complicated ice cream bowl order at this poor girl who was by herself trying to finish my order. With a sheepish look on her face, she told this harpy that I was first and that she would take her order just as soon as she finished mine.

    Not good enough, apparently. This nasty piece of work said, "This is bullshit" and walks out, still dragging this poor little girl with her. Ice cream girl just shook her head and finished my order for me.

    Apparently the Jamba Juice next door doesn't allow line-cutting either because the bitch came storming out of there with no product as I was sitting outside eating my ice cream.

    I felt pretty bad for the filthy little girl with her, who probably just wanted something sweet and cool to eat as it's over 90 degrees today. She could also use a bath.
    I know nothing and I can prove it!

    Mmmmmm Marbleslab.....


    Mmmmmm

    Oh, wait. That wasn't the point of the post, was it?

    Seriously, wtf do people think? Were most of us not taught about line-cutting in kindergarten?

    And I agree with you - poor kid.

      I've learned that ice cream drives people to a whole lower level of psycho suckage.

      That harpy actually reminds of some of the customers I've had.

          Did you used to sell ice cream?

            Yes, I've been working at an Ice Cream and Dairy Store, local to the Midwest, on and off for the past 3 years. (I have to quit to go off to school)

            It was from that job that the majority of my optimism for humanity was mercilessly stabbed, 'til only small remnants remained; writhing in pain, still trying to cling to life.

                  SO TRUE.

                  I always thought that people would be happy and excited that they were coming to get ice cream but for some reason they turned into crazy people the moment they start to order.

                    Hey now, I might get a bit out of control for a chocolate frosty from Wendy's, but I don't drag my children into my madness.

                    They do get to share it with me, though.

                    Oh yeah, I don't cut in line either.

                        damnit, now I feel the need to go to wendy's but I can't afford it because I have a thousand mile round trip to do next week and a 2000 mile round trip to do in 3 weeks, driving both... oh well, maybe I can weasel it off of my mother's credit card while I'm in Reno next week... what?

                        oh yeah, on topic, I've always been amazed at how people are in such a bad mood when they should be happy, if you are on vacation you shouldn't be in a bad mood, going to get ice cream, going to have lunch, going to a movie... the only job I've had where I can understand people being total asses and psychos was parking enforcement.

                          I ran a shop like that many years ago for my parents for a couple of years, until they finally sold it.

                          I do not miss anything about it.
