read in the papers today
this ice cream rest had a promotion currently
is it a promotion i dun really know
let's assumed it is...coz it does not really matter whether is it or not
anyway, the story is like this:-
customers must buy 3 scoops of icecream to enjoy a special price
it was up front stated to customers tt the 3 scoops have to be 3 DIFFERENT flavours to qualify to the special price
customer asked : "if i get 3 same flavours one also can rite? afterall 3 flavours mah. and same price"
restaurant said "sorry, cannot. must be 3 different flavours"
customer unhappy and "complained"
frankly does it matter?
i asked dear "if u have to buy 3 scoops of ice cream, will it be all the same or different flavours?"
dear replied "3 different ones" (actually no need to ask lor, i know he will choose 3 different flavours coz i got observed him when he buys ice cream or when we go buffet.....)
anyway, he asked me back "u mean u will choose all the same?"
actually, he dun need to ask me lor, coz he should know tt no choco, no ice cream for me
but there was once, halfway thru the buffet, i suddenly couldn't breathe and felt like vomitting
and so coincidence, they dun serve choco ice cream and becoz i was feeling so unwell, i tried the lemon sorbet, and suddenly, i am also "Addicted" to sorbet ice cream, of course except strawberry
dun ask me why, i only like the fresh fruit but not the milk or sweet or ice cream of it.......
anyway, back to the story
so i asked him "why u choose 3 different flavours?"
and he replied "then can try new flavours mah. if not always eat the same one meh? and hor, once u tried something u like, next time can order lor"
see!! frankly, tts what the restaurant's idea is too
they want the customer to try new flavours being introduced by the restaurant.
they dun want customer to always stick to the usual flavour, they want customer to try new things
this is afterall not a bad idea, really
but for ppl like me, *ahem*, there is only 1 flavour i like, other than tt, sorry, i rather no eat....
so boils down to, u want business or dun want business???!!?
but hor, if ur ice cream is nice, dun worry lah
sure got ppl eat de lor, coz frankly, like what was reported so far, since the opening of the restaurant, only have 10 such complains....
