We all have our ice cream preferences, but if you ordered an ice-cream sundae, you would probably expect ice-cream with a bunch of toppings on it.

This man worked at an ice cream store that gets really busy during peak season.

A customer came in and ordered a sundae, but this customer had a strange idea of what would be on the sundae.

Read the full story below for all the details.

I want a sundae with nothing on it!

I live in a small New England tourist town.

Every summer, we are completely overrun with tourists, especially in August.

With so many tourists, I have to deal with a lot of interesting people every day.

This literally just happened.

This man was confused about the customer’s order.

My summer job is working at a little ice cream stand.

Customer: Can I get a small sundae?

Me: Sure! Whip cream, fudge, a cherry, and nuts?

C: No, none of that!

M: Oh, I’m sorry, I thought you said sundae.

C: I did.

She insisted she wanted a sundae but without any toppings.

M: So, what do you want on it?

C: Nothing, I just want the ice cream.

M: So you want vanilla ice cream in a dish?

C: No! I want a sundae with none of that!

He handed her a vanilla ice cream instead.

I reluctantly handed her a dish of vanilla ice cream.

She was as happy as could be.

Sigh… Oooookay, lady.

Clearly the customer doesn’t understand what a sundae is!

Let’s see how others reacted to this story on Reddit.

A sundae without the toppings is technically just ice cream.
