This business with the icecream was the most ridiculous charade.
To wit: Me: What is the difference between peppermint and peppermint patty? Them: *big eyes* Me: ? Them: *big eyes* Me: Like, how are they different? Them: Do you want us to...show you? Me: Well, you could just describe, but show if you must. Them: *really pissed off body language, blah blah blah, eventually comes back with THE ENTIRE DRUM of pink icecream* (Really, two little tester spoons would have been fine) *holds drum up behind the counter* "Here." Me: OK, but what's IN it? Like, I can see it's pink-from-afar. Them: *big eyes* etc etc etc
(The difference ended up being that one was your typical green mint icecream with chocolate chips, and the other was pink icecream with crushed up little red and white mints inside. -IS THAT SO FUCKING HARD???!- Which was interesting, because NY Pepperpint Patties, as we all know, are those mint-filled chocolates. I had thought that the icecream would be vanilla flavored with crushed up those, not pink with crushed up hard candies.)
Finally I just opted for a different flavor and chocolate sauce. Them: Do you want to make that a sundae with whipped cream? Me: What is the difference in price between just getting chocolate sauce and making it a sundae? Them: *big eyes* Me: Oh you have got to be fucking kidding.
