New Year’s Resolution

I have to admit that for the last couple of months I have committed blogging suicide. I just have not had the time to sit down and write anything other than college essays, college applications, and anything to do with college. But its 2010 now (wow that just seems wierd) and the deadlines for my college applications were a few days ago. It’s time to get back on track, and blog about the many customers that have come into my store for the past couple of months.

This past weekend was slow. The urge to eat frozen yogurt when it is cold outside diminishes significantly. For the most part, I spend my time at work cleaning and when I am done with that, I usually just stare at the door hoping for some human interaction. This weekend a young boy and his father walked in.

The process was the same. They asked for yogurt, I asked about toppings, they said what they wanted, and I made their yogurt. Yet when I turned around to sprinkle the last of the M&Ms on the top, I saw a boy, head resting in his palm staring back at me. He said:

“You put those on very goodly.”

I smiled and because he was cute replied:

“Well, thanks.”

I continued to walk to the register to finish helping them and the boy followed. When he arrived at the other side of the counter he plopped his head back into his hand and spread himself across his side of the counter.  He was not done with out conversation. He said:

“You know, you should be paid much more than you get.”

His dad smiled, said, “Kids” and proceeded to hand me a twenty dollar bill.

We usually ride off kids the way this father did, but you know, I think this kid maybe had a point.

What’s my age again?

Finally I have a story worth telling.

Last night there were these three boys that came in. They must have been freshmen or sophomores in high school. They all ordered their yogurt, paid, and went to eat in the corner of the store. Before they left they all came back to the counter and ordered a regular topping of the sour gummy worms, the newest addition to our topping bar. My coworker helped them get their worms (that sounds wierd but anyways,) and I rung them up at the register. The total was less than two dollars and when the boy opened his wallet to pay me I caught a glance at his license.

Well I do not know if his license would allow him to drive on any roads but the ones at Disneyland’s Autopia ride. Where his license would go, was the cheap cardstock “license” they give you at Disneyland before you aboard the ride.

It’s funny that when you are young you long to be older and when you are old you want back the days of your youth. It’s just the way humans are. This boy couldn’t make up his mind. He wanted his gummy worms and his “license.” I guess that sometime you can have your cake and eat it too.

My apologies.

I admit I have not been the best about keeping this up-to-date lately. It is going to be a little more difficult during the school year with all the homework my teachers have been assigning. If you have a problem with this, which I do too, you should speak to my teachers. I would not mind.

Another problem is that I am only working weekends during the school year and so the number of people I see in a week has decreased significantly.

No worries though, I still have some stories from the vault. I have settled in school now and I am going to try and continually update the site and entertain the readers.

I just wanted to apologize for my bad customer service. If I could I would offer a complementary frozen yogurt but I’m sorry I do not have that type of power.
