I work at a bank, and I give people different flavored lollipops on purpose.

r/

Remember when you were a kid and your mom would drive through the bank, and you got lollipops? I know my brother and I always used to fight over the flavors, especially blue raspberry or cotton candy. And we hated root beer and butterscotch.

If I have a parent come through my line and they’re particularly rude, I will give them two (or whatever amount) differently flavored lollipops. I hope their kids fight over them. I gave someone a root beer and blue raspberry combo the other day. I want to see the world burn.

edit: i’m sorry to all the butterscotch and root beer lovers. you’re seen and you’re valid. i love you. (kids these days just don’t like them unfortunately).

thx for all the love. y’all are funny.

    I worked at credit union right out of high school and I did this same thing 🤣🤣🤣 it’s the only bit of a “fuck you” that you can really pull off on the rude people. But if they were nice, I would let their kids pick the colors they wanted.

    When I worked at McDonald’s as a teen years ago, and someone ordered two chicken nugget happy meals, I’d put four nuggets in one, and cram like ten in the other, just hoping to set the world on fire!

    Or just stare at them, pluck one out, unwrap it, and put the remainder in your bottom file cabinet drawer as you put the lollipop in your mouth.

    Give a nice "Mmmm." as you finish closing the drawer.

    Butterscotch and cotton candy are top tier. Blue raspberry is acceptable… barely. Root beer is a war crime.

    Peach flavor was the best. No one else seemed to want them so they were always there.

    The first fender bender I got into was because of bank lollipops.

    My brother and I (18 and 17 at the time) flirted with the teller in the drive through and she filled the tube with lollipops. We were counting them at the light and my foot let the clutch off just enough for me to roll into the car ahead of us lmao.

    The lady in the car made a big stink about it, but her insurance called me two days later and said there was no damage in the photos and not to worry about it.

    And that’s how I had my first "car accident".

  21. turingthecat Avatar

    I literally used to get so excited to go with my dada, to Majestic’s (a wine warehouse, here in England) since I was 5. Because of the lollipop he’d buy me at the counter at the end.
    I was even allowed to pilot the trolley when I was 8 (in floor to ceiling boxes of bottles of wine, not a choice adult me would make), but I was so proud, and I’d still get my vanilla and cola Chubba-Chub.
    A few years ago we had a family wedding, and my dad was tasked with procuring the wine.
    I obviously went to help him, as he can’t lift as much as he used to.
    But then he didn’t buy me a lolly at the checkout.
    I don’t care that I’m now in my mid 30’s, and can afford a whole box if I wanted.
    I pushed the trolley, I worked hard, where was my vanilla-cola Chubba-Chub.
    Never felt so cheated in my life

    A little piece of trivia for anybody that doesn’t already know. The "mystery flavor" is what is made between flavors so it’s a bit of what’s on the way out and bit of what’s on the way in.

    Root beer and butterscotch aren’t common flavours of lollipops here, especially while growing up. We had lemon, lime, orange and cherry.

    As the chaotic little-brother-turned-uncle with twin nieces, for the first 5 years of their lives I would get them two of the same present in different colors. I do not know what either of their favorite colors are. Knowing and buying one of their favorites but not the other would have been intentionally cruel.

    They are old enough now that they have distinct interests, so I can buy them things based on their individuality. But for a few years I just tossed grenades into my sister’s home because I wasn’t hitting my myself Sarah, I was never the one hitting myself!

    I get the petty joy of seeing kids fight over candy, I used to hate root beer and would trade it for something better when I was younger. It’s funny how something so small can stir up chaos, especially when kids argue over flavors they don’t even care about.

    I can totally understand the satisfaction of giving rude customers a weird combo like that. It’s harmless fun that adds a bit of spice to your day. Honestly, it’s just a clever way to mess with them without causing any real trouble.

  86. nytlibrarian Avatar

    I used to get the lollipops and called out the first flavor. The first kid to claim it got it. And so on until there were none left. Sometimes they traded because kid 1 liked the flavor kid 2 got and so on.

    I have two brothers. We have names, but nobody bothered. We were "the boys". We fought over everything.

    If you gave us there different flavors, we might have found a way to convince ourselves we each got a good one.

    If you gave us two the same and one different, that would have been a source of conflict for days. Open arguing would slowly subside into slow burning resentment simmering under the surface until the next injustice sets it all off again.
