I have worked at Cold Stone Creamery for a year and a half now. The job is great and filled with free ice cream and fun coworkers! However, with every shift comes comments from customers. Here is a list of questions and comments that Cold Stone workers hear from customers every shift.
1. "How much do mix-ins cost?"
Well, the first one is free!!
2. Mispronunciation of signature creations.
Cookie Doughn't You Want Some, not Cookie Doughnut You Want Some.
3. "Are you sick of ice cream yet?"
Nope! Does that make me weird?
4. "You must be so buff from scooping ice cream! You probably don't even need a gym membership."
Nope! I eat so much product that I need a gym membership more than anybody.
5. "Can I use this gift card?"
Of course!
6. "Do you have anything sugar, calorie and fat free? What are your healthy options?"
Water??? Why did you come to an ice cream store expecting something healthy? Do not come to Cold Stone on a diet.
7. "Is this gelato?"
Nope! Just very creamy ice cream, and the occasional sorbet.
8. Sorbet vs Sherbet
We have sorbet, which is dairy free and is not pronounced the same as sherbet.
9. "Can I sample *insert flavor here*?"
Sure! Sample as many as you want. I do...every single shift...
10. A child wanting to eat the blue, pink, or green ice creams.
Kids are so cute! They want to eat the ice cream for the color, not taste.
11. "What's your favorite signature?"
Great question! It changes every day.
12. "Are you going to serenade me?
Not if you don't want me to. Trust me, it's just as awkward for me as it is for you.
