Ixnay on the Oppingstay

What I'd like to say is... if you order an ice cream on a cone, DO NOT ASK FOR TOPPINGS. Toppings include: sprinkles, cookie pieces, nuts of all types, hot fudge caramel and strawberry sauce, whipped cream and cherries.
Number one reason not to order toppings concerns the mental stability of the employee making it for you. They tend to tip over, and having to remake the same ice cream is a little bit of a blow to the self esteem, especially when the customer decides to take a tone and say, "Why can't you just put it in a cup too?" Let me remind you, that YOU are the one that asked for it in a cone. So who's the real dummy here?
The number two reason not to order a cone with sprinkles concerns the amount of ice cream you will end up with. We're a lot more liberal when you want a cup, and very conservative with a cone, mainly because we don't want to deal with the fiasco briefly described above.
The worst toppings to ask for: hot fudge, caramel, strawberry sauce and whipped cream.
Just a remainder. Cones have holes in the bottom of them! And not to mention the fact that ice cream is cold, and the sauces are hot, thus making it impossible for the sauce to remain stationary on top of the ice cream, which means that by the time we turn around to hand you your deliciously overpriced treat, the sauces are dripping all over our hands, and you, as in the customer, decide to reply to our best efforts with looks of disgust. If you could see the images I conjure up of me wiping that reply off your face with the treat YOU SPECIFICALLY ORDERED, you would never order toppings again.
We are not miracle workers. We cannot stop the sauce from dripping or the ice cream from falling under the heavy burden of unnecessary toppings any easier than we can stop Sir Isaac Newton's apple from falling and discovering that thing we call gravity.
So in conclusion, What I'd Like to Say is... If you want toppings, get a cup. It might not be edible, but if you're ordering toppings AND ice cream, you should try and cut back on unnecessary food items anyway.
