Tell me why people have to sample
everything in the store. This is a particularly more serious problem in ice
cream stores. People think they have the right to hold up the entire line to
sample every flavor in stock. Here’s some news: every flavor is delicious –
it’s ice cream. Taste testers are employed to test the taste of every flavor
under the sun. Literally under the sun since ice cream is more of a summer
delight. You do not have to test the taste. Just commit to a flavor or a flavor
combination and keep the line moving.
Not only is this frustrating for
every customer waiting behind you, but it is an annoyance to whoever is working
since they have to put all of your samples on a different one of those little
sticks. It is a time consuming practice, a waste of resources, and probably not
too environmentally friendly.
WHY DO YOU EVEN NEED TO SAMPLE!?
Guess what! Chocolate tastes like chocolate. Vanilla tastes like vanilla.
Banana tastes like banana. And strawberry tastes like strawberry. No regular
flavors should even be on offer for sampling. Only weird little exotic flavors
like pistachio should be offered for free samples. In most cases, nay, in every
case ever recorded in history, the name of the flavor has been the taste of the
flavor. Hard to believe? I don’t think so. Buy your ice cream and get out of
the store.
