OMG My Feet are killing me! So I worked my first full 8 hour shift yesterday at Coldstone. honestly it wasn't bad. The guy that is training me, Zach, has a funny way of explaining literally everything. I didn't think there was that much to the job too b ut I was way wrong. We really do more cleaning than anything. We have to keep our ice cream slab as clean as possible because customers get cranky if it looks bad. We wipe down the table and chairs at least 50 jillion times and we have to keep the toppings buckets refilled almost constantly. I learned how to make a waffle cone too which is kinda cool. It's this thin batter they store that we pour onto the waffle iron just like real waffles, but it's much thinner. Smells really good too and makes me hungry for sweets.
The silliest part of the job is we have to sing when we get a tip. The songs are silly too but they are supposed to give our work a more "fun" atmosphere and give the customer a feeling of appreciation for his dollar. Wanna hear some of em? Of course you do:
Sprinkle, Sprinkle, Candy Bar
This is what our mix-ins are
Add a little brownie too
We'll make ice cream just for you
Sprinkle Sprinkle Candy Bar
Put a dollar in our jar
To the tune of "We Will Rock You" by Queen
When you come to Cold Stone
Looking for a treat
You know you'll find something cold and sweet
We've got mix-ins galore
At every store
And when you're done you'll be beggin' for more
Singin' "We are, we are Cold Stone - Creamery
We are, we are Cold Stone - Creamery"
To the Tune of "Give the Dog a Bone"
You have come, far from home
Just to see us work the stone
With a Knick Knack Paddy Whack Thank you for the Tip
Arn't you glad you made the Trip!
There's a whole bunch more. We have a giant poster in the break room that has lots of sons listed for us to memorize while we lurk back there but those are the only ones I can remember that I didn't murmur along with everyone else for. Anyways I have to get ready to go back. I'm working the night shift tonight but figured I'd pop in and update first. I've signed up for some really great Roleplays I can't wait to start but *Sigh* Its must wait till I get back from work. Anyways, I'll be back around 9:30 EST so if anyone wants to chat, hit me up on yim, me screen name is Sailorveniis.
