10 Things Every Ice Cream Scooper Goes Through

Working at an ice-cream shop this summer has made me realize how working in the food business sometimes does have it’s perks like getting those muscles you’ve always wanted,, then again it does have it’s downfalls. Here is some FAQ’s and some FT’s(frequent thoughts) that have come up while on the job:

1. Even before reading the menu, “how much is a small?”

ma’am, there are all the prices behind me and even with my smile on my face you don’t even realize how annoyed I am with you.

2. “What kind of flavors do you have?”

If you don’t see the list in front of you then I don’t think you should be ordering ice cream…

3. “Oh can I try ice cream flavor too?!”

Oh! of course you can try it! it’s not like its your seventh sample!

4. The after dinner Friday night crowd and where you just want to hide from it all.

5. After doing a huge order and either get a dollar or no tip at all.

all that hard work for nothing.

6. Having a empty shop for a while but then all the summer camp kids come in.

7. “Can I have a ice cream flavor milkshake?” next customer “oh can I have at * same ice cream flavor* milkshake?”

why couldn’t you say you wanted it too when I was already making one…and after I cleaned the blender!

8. when people leave their garbage on the table.

this isn’t a restaurant, be a big boy a throw out you trash!

9. long line “Can I have a hot fudge sundae?” “can we share a banana split?” “can we have a vermonster?” All while the other customers are getting impatient.

please just keep it simple and don’t come back.

and lastly…

10. please tell your baby to shut up.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
