This was by far the hardest and longest effort I've ever undertaken to get some ice cream, if you could even call it that. Not particularly fond of Hershey's Ice Cream, I fought my best judgment and strolled in this joint bearing an Entertainment coupon for BOGO soft cones. The guy working the place was so out of it, he came off as indifferent rather than rude, but in hindsight, he was both. I presented the coupon and he looked at it for a solid minute and a half. Realizing that there is not all that much text on one side of a single Entertainment book coupon, I asked him the deal. He told me that they offered this promo (sans coupons, one would presume) on Thursdays & Saturdays, which I explained was a perennial deal and had nothing to do with my coupon. He then corrected himself and said that it was on Tuesdays & Thursdays; this was all moot, as it was Wednesday--though the sign outside did reflect his amendment. Finally, following an awkward visual stalemate, he ripped up my coupon, and helped another customer. I prodded him if I could still get some goddamn ice cream. Yes, he said, and he SLOWLY putzed over to the decrepit soft serve machine, the expletives emerging from his mouth just as offensive as the sounds emitted by the machine. Never having had the pleasure of sampling Hershey's soft serve, I went with one chocolate and one vanilla. The former was airy beyond belief and the latter sputtered for 45 seconds before shooting out some gook that they passed off unapologetically as ice cream. Fed up and ready to leave, I forked over my $2 and pounded the 2 cones in the parking lot before speeding off completely unsatisfied, not unlike many summer nights past.
