Baskin Robbins

Our little shop is tucked inside Shipra Mall on Gulmohar Road in Indirapuram. It’s Plot No 1, so it’s easy enough to find if you’re looking for it. Malls are funny places because they have their own rhythm. We get a lot of families on the weekends, especially after they’ve seen a movie or finished their shopping. The glass display case is the main thing we have to keep clean because kids are always putting their hands on it to point at the different colors. We have a lot of tubs in the freezer, and switching them out when they’re empty is probably the hardest part of the job. It’s cold in here, which is a nice change from the heat outside. We mostly just stand behind the counter and scoop. Some people take forever to decide, but we don’t mind. It’s just ice cream, after all. The mall music plays in the background all day, and sometimes it gets stuck in your head. We see a lot of teenagers hanging out on their dates. The Gulmohar Road side of the mall is usually busy with cars, but inside it’s a bit more relaxed. We keep the spoons stocked and the floor mopped. It’s a straightforward way to spend the day. Most people who come in are in a pretty good mood because they’re getting a treat. We just do our part and keep things moving, making sure the freezer stays at the right temperature for everything.
