Too Much Of A Good Thing Brings Its Own Downfall
A local self-serve frozen yogurt shop had a special for birthdays, where you pay for a small cup and can load it up as much as you want. Typically, the yogurt was measured by ounces and you paid based on the weight.
In high school, my friends and I who were a group about eight in total, did this for everyone’s birthday. We would make towers of yogurt that looked like Christmas trees sitting on a very tiny stand. Definitely over a pound of yogurt each.
On the last attempt, it all went wrong. The owner recognized us and immediately told us that we needed to pay for our yogurt. We told her that the rules were as much as we could fit in the cup, and it wasn’t our fault.
She tried fighting us, but being stubborn high school students, we wouldn’t budge. A couple weeks later, we attempted to get our service again, and they had changed the birthdays to 12 years old and under. No more ridiculously cheap yogurt for us after that. Story credit: Reddit / Tyler123217
