How About A Sample Of Maturity
(I am working at a shaved-ice stand.)
Me: “Hello! What would you like today?”
Customer: “My son would like to try a root beer shaved ice!”
(I make a root beer in a sample cup, but the customer takes the cup instead and tries it herself.)
Customer: “EWWW! This is GROSS!”
Me: “I’m sorry, ma’am.”
Customer: “This tastes like CLOVES! Ewwww! I don’t like CLOVES! This is GROSS!”
Me: “Would you like to try another flavor?”
Customer: “My son would like to try s’mores.”
(I make a s’mores flavor in a sample cup, and just like last time, the customer tries it instead of her son trying it.)
Customer: “EWWW! This is GROSS! I don’t like this!!”
(A few minutes later…)
Customer: “He’ll take a medium lemon-lime wedding cake flavored shaved ice. Oh, can we get a straw too?”
Me: “Sure thing!”
(I hand the customer a plastic bendy straw, who sticks it in her son’s shaved ice and takes a sip.)
Customer: “EWWW! This is gross! This straw tastes funny!”
Me: “I’m sorry, ma’am. How does it taste funny?”
Customer: “It… it tastes like PLASTIC!! Ewww!”
