[Wandering in wonderland] vANCOUVER DAY 3

8/16/2013

 
Again, here I am, writing about Day 3 on Day 6.


In preparation for my cosplay for Anime Revolution, I decided to go to Richmond Centre in search of a red double-breasted blazer, while paying a visit to its newly-renovated food court.

In approximately 2 hours, I walked through the entire mall and been in and out of ~95% of all its clothing stores. No luck in finding a red blazer. But hey, the food court was still worth a visit.

As I've been dying to try froshberg gelato since seeing photos on Facebook, I decided that that would just my first stop.
I had been quite excited at first, snapping a crazy amount of photos from different angles of the various flavours of gelato. I even continued to try and get the perfect shot of the banana split gelato my grandparents had ordered until the extremely rude worker started to purposely place items in front of the gelato to block my shot. As I continued to focus in on my subject from different angles, I heard a rude, and slightly annoyed, "Oh for heaven's sake, just eat it! It's ice cream!".
Removing the camera from the chocolate- and caramel-sauce-drizzled masterpiece briefly to check how the photo had come out, I heard a "Ahh finally!", followed by an "OH MY GOD. Not again." when I lifted my camera back up.

I didn't end up ordering any gelato.
Part of the reason was because it was already 5:30 PM and there'd be no way to eat dinner as planned if I indulged in something right before - my stomach has the capacity of a small water bottle and I can't really eat much before I start feeling full.

But truthfully, I was more than just a tad annoyed upon hearing this guy's comments. I mean, if I already PAID for my food, I should be allowed to take as many photos of it as I wish. It wasn't even like I was only taking photos and not purchasing anything. So excuse me, but WHO IN THE WORLD has the right to tell me that I'm taking too many pictures when I ALREADY BOUGHT SOMETHING from you. Once the money has been exchanged for the product, it has become something in my possession. And if I choose to spend 3 hours of my day solely taking photos of it, then that's MY choice. Who are you to tell me that I SHOULDN'T be taking pictures?! HUH?!?!?!

So yes, that was basically my main reason for not purchasing any gelato for myself. I'd rather buy from pinkberry for my ice cream/gelato/frozen yogurt fix than to allow someone as rude as you to get commission for something I buy from you.
Sorry sir, but you just lost a customer with those rude and unnecessary remarks.

And here's the guy photobombing my gelato and menu shot:

Well whatevs. I went back home to have dinner after that. And so concludes Day 3 of my Vancouver adventures.
