Inside scoop from former employee
4 Star Rating: Recommended

12/20/2006 Posted by jb36

Want to avoid lines at Amy's, try coming at opening hours or during meal hours (11:30am-12:30pm, 5:30-7:00). People say we take a long time to make the ice cream, but we have to interact with every single customer and some people like to sample every flavor, WE CAN'T HELP IT! Also, if you get extraordinary service please write the employees name down on a comment card, we get bonuses for good behavior. Beyond that, every store has it's own type of employees since the manager of that specific store does the hiring. If you don't like the vibe you get from one store try another. For example: the Guad store will have your hipster college kids, the Arbor will have your more mall friendly types, Congress has the musician kids. Anyway, we don't set the prices, we don't have strawberry icec ream (we can make it with sweet cream and strawberries, and we don't crush into tinies, and no it's not a good way to get out aggression, and we don't all play the drums. PS- don't forget to tip if you have a large group or genuinely enjoyed your service, we get paid minimum wage and rely on tips.
