Baskin Robbin

Finally!! It's the end of the month!! This calls for an ice cream party! (Baskin Robbin offered a whooping 50% discount for one quart of ice cream at the end of each month, in Indonesia at least.)

Oh boy, it seems that many people shared my thought too.
I was biding my time patiently when a lady tried to cut the line.
She had the nerve to force her way through!!
Maybe she thought that I looked rather shy and defenseless, and she was dead wrong!! She deserved public humiliation, I thought..
I said (intentionally rather loudly) "Just get in line and wait for your turn!"
Then she used the generic Oh-I'm-sorry-I-only-wanted-to-see-the-available-flavors excuse. Yeah right, this is the waiting line for taking orders, and the menu was posted on the left wall! Have you turned so senile that you don't even notice such a big and colorful poster? And there she was, a moment later, queuing too.
The unfair treatment doesn't end here...

I ordered cookies and cream (It's my favourite) and observed that the waiter just keeps stuffing the ice-cream without pushing it all the way down. This way, the ice cream will look big but underneath it, there will be a lot of empty spaces.
He later weighed it and I saw 1.7 lb clearly shown on the scale!! Then he said, "Here you go" and I said "Oh no you don't! I want my 1.8 lb of cookies and cream!!! He's like "Excuse me?" I was so pissed by his reaction. He played dumb in front of me to get that 0.1 lb of ice-cream! That 0.1 lb is only for me to eat!!
I told him to weigh it again, and he quickly stuffed more ice-cream before weighing it. To my delight, I saw 1.9 lb on it. Then he said, "There, 0.1 lb extra for you." I sweetly replied "Why thank you, that's so nice of you!"
Now that's what I call good customer service!
