Since everyone and their mom comes to my work and acts like an idiot, I think maybe this should get out to the masses. (Not that I'm saying you guys specifically need it, but you know

Wow, you can apply some of these to Subway, too. :D

3.State what specific ice cream and mix-ins you want. You may not know it, but we can not see you pointing. This also goes for when we ask you what size you want.
Likewise. I've had some people point at sandwich ingredients and breads and I just go, "Uhm. Which?" Because I can't tell what the hell they're pointing at. Not to mention, is an 8-inch sub a 6-inch or a footlong?

6.If we ask you a multiple choice question such as "Do you want a cup, a cone or a waffle bowl?" DO NOT say "yes". Also, do not say "no". One of these days, I swear to God, I'm gonna just put the ice cream in your goddamned HANDS.
This is one of my number one pet peeves, indeed. "What kind of cheese do you want on that?" "Yes." "......... WHAT KIND?!" For goodness' sake, we don't have yes cheese.

7.When you pay, have your credit card out or your cash ready. Don't go digging for change. It's not that hard for us to count out $0.98, and you never seem to know where your pennies are. We have better

Hi, I'm just a random friend of Heero's who happened to see this... but I had to comment because I've worked at an ice cream store for over 2 years now, and that's just an awesome list.

#3 in particular is dead-on... And even when people do say what they want, oftentimes they'll tell me to put it on a 'regular cone' when we have both cake and sugar cones. And of course to half of the people cake is 'regular' and the other half think sugar is 'regular', and they won't be more specific even when I ask. o_x

But anyway, nice entry. :)

That's awesome... specifically a lot of those do not apply to my job, the general idea, yes. Ultimately the consumers of this nation are not all that bright. I always tip though! ^_^
