Tasting at ice cream shops should not be allowed. Getting the wrong flavor of ice cream is not a high stakes enough decision to justify multiple swings at it. Pick a flavor.

I watched a woman at an ice cream shop the other day eye a group of 5 or 6 young folks walk in, and *immediately* tell them, "limit of 4 flavors to taste" (FOUR!). And I realized, the tasting is just part of the "I'm having a decadent experience" indulgence of the whole thing.

They know what Rocky Road tastes like. In the case of this place, they could even guess what the cardamom crunch tasted like.

It offends me. Things should be efficient!!!

Why?
