When I worked for Borders, which was especially terrible, if someone asked where something was we were supposed to follow a 6 step protocol that involved smiling, accompanying the customer to the product, putting it into their hands, suggesting 1-2 more products, & walking them to the register

Don’t worry, I’m sure they’d chuck some in if you asked

This is better than I thought! Except for the endangered bit…

🤣🤣🤣 I didn’t see it but now I have to try it!

I’m also going to need for more UK places to lean into waffles as a concept
