Current Events > I bought a milkshake instead of icecream today and the clerk was so rude.

(+) Yeah! (+)

So today was my birthday and I felt like treating myself. I was in a store and was wanting an icecream. I walked over to what I thought was the ice cream fridge and grabbed one, the fridge looked like this:



Then I took it to the counter and paid for it, went to walk out the store to enjoy my ice cream and this interaction happened

Me: *pays and starts walking out of the store*
Clerk: Um, sir? Excuse me. You need to blend that before you can eat it.
Me: What?
Clerk: The milkshake. It's just a frozen block right now. You can't eat it. You just need to run it through the blender by the cooler real quick. It's right over here...
Me: *follows clerk to the blender*
Clerk: Just peel the lid off all the way, pop the cup in the holder, and it'll ask you how thick you want it.
Me: Can't I just eat it?
Clerk: What? It's a milkshake, but right now it's just a frozen block of ice. You can't really eat it.
Me: *points at the frozen block inside the cup* But this is ice cream right here. I just want to eat that.
Clerk: Well, it's a milkshake, not ice cream. And it's frozen solid. You're not going to be able to eat it like that. That's what the blender's here for.
Me: You don't sell ice cream?
Clerk: What? Well yes, we do. There's a big ice cream freezer right there. But you bought a milkshake.
Me: So I can't just eat this ice cream?
Clerk: Sir, that's not ice cream. That's a milkshake.
Me: What?
Clerk: That's a vanilla milkshake. See? *points to literally the biggest word on the packaging, "MILKSHAKE"*
Me: Oh. I didn't...umm...alright, how does this thing work then?
Clerk: Just put the cup in the holder, and then choose the thickness you want on the touchscreen here. You can get it blended thin, regular, or thick.
Me: What if I don't like it thin?
Clerk: ...then don't pick thin?
Me: Oh, I get to choose?
Clerk: Yes. Right here. On the touchscreen that's asking you which thickness you'd like.
Me: I just want some ice cream.
Clerk: Well, we have some in that freezer. You can take a look. But you already bought the milkshake so you might as well use it.
Me: Oh...nevermind.

I was so embarrassed that I ran home, ignored my housemate, locked the bedroom door and have refused to come out for 3 hours. Worst 26th birthday ever.
