6. It’s the only time you can ever eat your mistakes
7. No need to go to the gym. every day is arm day at work.
8. A lot of tourists come in and usually tourists tip more (from my experiences)
9. You can make your own concoction with different flavors and toppings. You could end up making something bomb.
10. When its rainy out its usually not busy

Cons:

1. People can get real salty if you don’t sell the flavor they're looking for
2. Going along with that, people really like their hot fudge and get upset when you run out
3. People don't know how to read. they always ask for something you don't have or think a topping is an ice cream flavor even though its clearly labeled on the menu
4. Big parties that come in and give you NO tip. You just spent $30 on ice cream, one buck isn't gonna hurt.
5. People often times only say what flavor they want but no other details about their order. What size? cup or cone? what kind of cone?
6. ^When you ask all of those questions they get overwhelmed
7. When you ask if they want a sugar or plain cone and they say “regular”. But which one is YOUR regular?
8. That one person who orders a milkshake when there’s a huge line of people behind them.
9. Also, people who sample every single flavor you have with a huge line of people behind them
10. When people yell at you for giving them too much ice cream. Sorry I'm giving you your moneys worth? sorry I'm giving you the GIFT of ice cream?
11. Parents and kids always fight about who gets what and what size and you never know who to listen to, the parents or the kids
12. People throw all of their orders at you at once
13. When you’’re clearly helping a group of people but a person from another group yells their order at you
14. When people make a hand gesture and say “we’re all together” but there’s 20 other people spread out in the store. Okay, but which ones?
15. At the end out the day you will find sticky ice cream all over you
16. It hurts your wrist and knuckles after scooping all day
