It's not just Indians who go sample-crazy

An Indian man named Arvind recently shared a photo on the social media platform X, showing a sign taken at one of Frozen Fun's locations in New Delhi.

Frozen Fun offers gelato ice cream in about two dozen flavours. Customers used to be able to sample several flavours before making their choice, but that got out of hand, apparently.

Here's what the sign says: “Our policy allowed customers to try any flavour until they found their favourite. However, we noticed that many people were taking advantage of this generosity. There have been numerous instances where individuals and groups of friends requested to sample 5 to 10 flavours and then left without ordering anything. No business can sustain such costs. Therefore we are now offering two sample tastings per client. We hope you sympathise with and understand our perspective.”

I wonder what would happen if a customer is having trouble deciding among three flavours.

Customer: “May I please have a sample of salted butter caramel, crunch coffee and vanilla madagascar?”

Employee: “Sorry, according to our policy, you can have only two samples.”
