A book I would love to write is about my part time job.  I work at a frozen yogurt store and I am completely amazed by the stupid and completely obvious questions that people ask, their ridiculous requests, and rude behavior.  I have always said that I could write a book about all of the things we see there but have never actually taken the time to write it all down, because it is just too much.  This book would just be purely for entertainment and to make people laugh.  Readers would realize how crazy some people in this world really are and I think it would give people good insight into how they, or people they know, might act and how absurd it can be.  I find that I am constantly saying to myself “wow, I could never imagine acting that way” or “I would never ask that to someone in a store I go to.”  It could be the location of the store and the population of people we are dealing with, or it could be that the population of self-centered people, dumb people is growing but either way, I am fed up.

For example, we constantly get the question “do you take expired coupons?”  Well, if we took expired coupons, why do you think we would put an expiration date on them in the first place?  We also get people trying to give us coupons from ice cream stores in Manhattan.  We are a self serve frozen yogurt store in Nassau County, what good would it do us to take a coupon from somewhere that is not even remotely close to being our competitor?  People just want something for free…all the time.  The question that really gets underneath my skin: Customer walks through the door, doesn’t even get within 20 feet of the machines, and asks for taste cups.  I respond by asking what flavor and they say “oh, I don’t know, don’t I get to do it myself?”  Clearly they are just coming in to taste as many flavors as they can, then a decent amount of the time they walk right out without buying anything.  Where have people’s morals gone? I could never ever imagine buying a frozen yogurt cake, eating 3/4 of the cake, then returning it and stating “it has freezer burn.”  Well, perhaps that is because you left it in your freezer for a couple of weeks after the party you had ate majority of it.  You might be asking yourself if we take the cake back and give the refund…of course we do.  The customer is always right, right?!  Then we get the people who don’t watch their children who are making a massive cup, since no one watches their children these days.  Once they realize what the child has done, they walk right over to the garbage and throw it out.  Yeah, sure, just go ahead and throw out our product that we could have made $10 off of..it’s no big deal, you don’t have to apologize either.  This is just some of the crazy stuff I see on a daily basis, which is why I would love to write a book about it because the book would go on and on and could entertain many people.
