Crazed Ice Cream Days

Gibson Girl is smarter than you. She always will be. These are tips if you plan to be a guest in our location. These are our frustrations. These are situations where we force-smile until we're backstage &can laugh, rant or rave. So throughout our working hours, we run into idiotic, ridiculous, easily made fun of situations. All containing three elements: people, stupid questions, and ice cream. So here it is:

A FEW Things You Just DON'T Do At Gibson Girl's Ice Cream Parlor!

-Our sign says Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlor, not Baskin Robbins. Enough said? I wish!
-Interrupting the interaction with my guest (who actually waited in the ridiculous line) to ask me for a cup of water is rude. kthxx.
-Never tell me, "yes that will be it" and then add on to that sentence "and a ___". that was obviously not IT.
-We repeat the order back to you for a reason. Please don't confirm your order, then receive it and stare at it because its "not what you ordered."
-Don't eat 3/4 of your ice cream then "drop it" and demand a new one. Your jeans are already scared enough.
-If I say hello, you say hello. Its common human courtesy.
-You walked up to my counter... but you will wait. Because I'm busy, and I didn't call on you.
-I can't say this any more bluntly- put that damn cell phone away!
-The price is going to go up if you keep having me repeat it...
-I am NOT a stripper. Do NOT throw your bills at me!
-I say, "please stay right here and I'll be right back." you nod your head and say "alright" as you walk away....
-We don't have milkshakes or soft serve- its okay if you ask, I'll tell you we don't. but DO NOT get angry with ME! its not MY fault!
And Finally, the number ONE!!! thing you DO NOT DO.

1. Never, I repeat never, stand in the preposterous line and not know what flavors we have. Need another translation? DO NOT ASK ME WHAT FLAVORS WE HAVE. I won't tell you. kthanks and have a magical day!
