Can I have a few words with you?

Izzy’s employees share a little bit about themselves in their own words.

Louisa—scooper, dishwasher, and birthday party hostess

I’m working on a Friday night. The line is serpentine, doubling over itself at the back door and feeding out our front door. I hear elementary school kids playing our gumball machine and watch young couples smile as they lean into each other. Parents swoop babies through the sticky summer air. Behind the counter we play bumper cars, holding orders high to avoid spilling precious cargo in a collision.

My wrist aches and my forearm is decorated with a tie-dye blend of chocolate and strawberry. I ask a group of Venezuelan students if they would prefer to order in Spanish and their eyes jump with surprise. Laughter ensues when I try to explain the difference between a waffle and a sugar cone, and escalates when I fumble over Spanish numbers at the cash register. They leave, beaming, sweet treats dripping from their lips.

I love nights like these, when we are busy enough that our feet don’t stop moving and we’re focused only on the next single double izzy sugar cake waffle would you like a malted milk ball? There is camaraderie crackling between our ice cream arms and matching messy aprons. We share love with strangers, providing them with conversation topics and memories in the form of delicious desserts. I come home smelling like waffle cones, streaks of chocolate on my knee and collapse into bed with the memory of graham cracker ice cream on my tongue.

Sarah —scooper, dishwasher, and birthday party helper

You can call me Boo. When I was three I was the boogie bear for Halloween (no, I don’t exactly know what that is). Boogie bear got shortened, and 15 years later I am still called Boo.

Anyway, I’m from Minneapolis, and I go to Minnehaha Academy (Go Redhawks!). I love food. My favorite restaurant in the cities is Cafe Maude in Minneapolis—amazing. They have a cute little blue lemonade that comes with a Peep on top, and it’s called the Rubber Ducky!

The thing I love most about Izzy’s is that even though I only started working here last fall, right away I felt a part of the huge Izzy’s family. No matter who I’m working with, I know I’m going to have fun and leave in a better mood than I came. My other favorite thing is the smell of the waffle cones when I walk into the store.
