"The ice cream was too cold."

Perth, Australia
July 9, 2019 5:09am CST
Was just talking to my brother about something so stupid. It made me laugh yet at the same time shake my head with how stupid people can be. My brother used to be a store manager at Hungry Jacks ( which is the Aussie version of Burger King ). One night he received a phone call from a woman who wanted to complain about how the "ice cream was too cold." My brother didn't know how to respond to this but eventually said "It's ice cream. It's supposed to be cold." To which she replied "Don't be a smarta$$." He said "I'm not being a smarta$$. The ice cream machine is set at the correct temperature. If I was getting complaints about the taste of the ice cream then I would do something about it." She told him that she would be ringing head office the next day to which she did only to be told the same thing. That it's a cold product and supposed to be cold. Some people....really love to complain. Have you ever received or heard a really stupid complaint before?

@LadyDuck lol! I have no idea what this woman wanted. Such an odd thing to ring up about. I already said it to another MyLotter in this post but I wondered if she has ever complained about coffee being too hot. I actually love fried ice cream. Have you have had it before? I get it almost every time we have Chinese.

@VivaLaDani13 i let ice cream melt a little so it doesn't feel as cold. same with coffee. i like it warm, not hot.

@hereandthere LOL! I would love to know any other complaints she has made that were just as silly as this ice cream one. I wonder if she's ever complained of coffee being too hot lol

@hereandthere That is fair enough. I know that sometimes people prefer warm coffee and some like it extra hot. I can't let ice cream melt lol I need it to be very cold and not runny at all. I hope my comment didn't come across as me thinking people who want warm coffee rather than really hot weird. I just mean that this ice cream woman seems the type to complain about odd things.

@Hannihar I agree. She took it as it being a smarta$$ comment when really it's a logical response.

@Hannihar That is definitely a possibility. I always consider that when I hear of customers going off but I still can't help but think about how silly the words are that come out of their mouths.

@amandajay aw Amanda I am so sorry! I will admit I too am going through a crappy thing right now so I know laughing is needed in times like this. I wish I could help you. Please remember me if you ever want to vent or discuss anything on your mind. I'm not saying this to pry I'm saying this because I know what it's like to deal with things alone. So I am here for you if you ever want to talk about anything.

Haha! That's so funny.. heights of atrocities.. ;) Your brother must have asked her to bring the ice cream and heat it in front of her and ask her if that's all fine now. The first word says it all - “ICE” and in my life I've seen that to be cold only..
