when tourism attacks!!!

well i guess it's safe to say that summer is in full swing people. the tourists are here and i suggest that you take notice of where the car ahead of you was purchased, because let's face it they don't know where they're going. but don't get me wrong i love them, i guess you could say they are what makes brainerd go 'round.
today i worked at the chocolate ox. WHOA! WHAT? and they're still coming were some popular phrases. i have never seen so much ice cream go so fast in my entire life. the numbers might scare you. the ice cream takes up roughly 8 feet of space with a width of 1 and 1/2 feet, and the two moveable registers. somehow we managed to keep up to seven people moving around in this area getting and paying for ice cream. a little bit of cramped quarters, but the tips made up for it. i started at 10 and had a break at 4 ish then left like a half hour later. this is actually parade day in nisswa so they close the store at 7 anyway then reopen after. total for tips: $12.56. not bad for 6 hours of work! keep up the hospitality people!
