| "No way!" |
SANDPOINT, ID - Local ice cream parlor Stoned Cones recently instituted a new sample-free policy, citing concerns over the spread of coronavirus on tiny single-use spoons used for samples. The business previously had an unlimited sample policy, allowing customers to try over twenty flavors before making a final purchase decision.
The business owners stated on social media that the decision was made solely due to coronavirus, and so they could do their part to embrace the new normal.
Local teen Madison Sweeney, who worked at the shoppe as a soda jerk after school for six months, said she supports the management's decision to ban samples, saying "It was, like, annoying and stuff."
Sweeney said the problem goes deeper than blaming it on corona, and recalls a number of overweight female patrons requesting a sample, then saying they "liked it but didn't love it" before moving on to a different flavor. Most of the patrons, after sampling a volume equivalent to an actual scoop, would then leave without making a purchase.
Customers have had mixed reactions over the new policy. Area man Jeff Spicoli was disappointed after his request for a taste of the shoppe's newest flavor, CB & D, was declined.
"I was, like, no way, man!" stated Spicoli. "All I wanted was a baby hit of some tasty buds. It was totally bogus."
