Dasprakash Ice Creams

Working at Dasprakash Ice Creams on Hosahalli Main Road means you are pretty much always surrounded by something cold. We are located at Phase I, 103/2. It is a very busy spot with cars and buses zooming past the front door all day and night. I spend most of my shift standing behind the counter, scooping out all the different flavors for customers. My arm actually gets quite sore after a long Saturday night shift when everyone wants a treat. We get a lot of families coming in together right after they finish their dinner. The kids almost always manage to make a bit of a mess, leaving sticky drips of chocolate or strawberry melting on the tables. I am constantly walking around wiping things down with a damp cloth to keep the place tidy. The big freezers make this constant humming noise in the background that you eventually just stop noticing after an hour or two. Sometimes the lids get stuck because of the ice building up around the edges, and I have to carefully chip it away. It is not a very complicated job, but you really have to be fast when the line starts to get long. People can get a little bit impatient when they are waiting for their scoops. We have a few simple benches outside where people like to sit and eat. I usually watch them through the front window while I work. It is nice to see folks having a good time. I make sure the spoons are stocked and the floor isn’t sticky.
