Who doesn't love ice cream? It is the perfect dessert, especially during warm weather. When you work at an ice cream shop you have free access to eat all the ice cream you want. With that being said, I'd like to think I have the best job in the world. But, it is not all about eating ice cream, you have to work and scoop for others to also enjoy the ice cream.

Here are nine confessions of my experience as an ice cream scooper.

1. Yes, I have tried all 45 flavors.

Having access to over 45 flavors, how could I not sample all of them? Cotton candy, expresso explosion, graham slam, rainbow sherbert, moose tracks, black raspberry, they are all so good. I must confess I have not gone one shift without eating atleast one spoonful of ice cream.

2. Yes, I do get annoyed when you ask to sample over 3 different flavors.

I know all the tricks, you want to sample as many as you can without actually buying anything. You also do not need to sample flavors like chocolate or vanilla, I think we all know what chocolate and vanilla taste like.

3. I go home covered head to toe in ice cream.

I look like I dove into a pool of ice cream after every long shift. Dried up ice cream covers my arm from my pinky finger up to my elbow. My shirt is an ice cream, hot fudge, whipped cream, butterscotch, magnet. Not only does my shirt get messy, occassionaly I get ice cream on my face and hair after a milkshake decides to explode on me. Washing my shirt is a must after every shift.

4. I say the phrase, "Would you like a cone or a dish? Kids, small, or large?" in my sleep.

Please don't just shout to me "Can I have vanilla?" Please be more specific, I am not a mind reader and repeating the phrase "Cone or dish? Kids, small, or large?" gets annoying.

5. My scooping arm is stronger than my non-scooping arm.

I have muscles in my wrist and arm I did not know were even possible. I like to consider scooping ice cream a work out. Don't challenge me in an arm wrestling match, you will lose.

6. I cry a little inside when you ask me to scoop the hardest flavor.

I cry even more when you ask for a large cone or milkshake in that flavor. Scooping ice cream is not as easy as you think. Certain flavors get extremely hard, making it impossible to scoop.My arm gets sore and cramps, so don't get mad at me when it takes me five minutes to scoop the flavor.

7. No, I do not have a favorite flavor.

When I have free access to all 45 flavors, I eat them all. It is impossible to choose just one flavor as my favorite, so please don't make me choose.

8. I am judging you when you get two odd flavors in a milkshake.

I have seen and heard many weird flavor combinations during my time as an ice cream scooper. But, when someone chooses two weird flavors in a milkshake I can't help but want to ask "why?" Banana peanut butter chip and cotton candy can not possibly taste good together, especially when they are blended together in a milkshake. Just stick to one flavor for a milkshake, I promise it will taste better.

9. I do not get sick of the ice cream.

Everyone asks, "Don't you get sick of ice cream working here?" The answer is no, no, no! When I first started working as an ice cream scooper, I thought I would get tired of eating ice cream. I was so wrong. Working around ice cream and having free access to it has only made me like ice cream more. On my days off, I still find myself coming into work for a dish of ice cream.
