pinkberry will be the death of me this summer.
some korean import phenomenon, which isn't even such an amazing idea and not much different from yami yoghurt, has driven almost everyone to chronic cravings.
they have only two flavours- green tea and original. they charge a buck more for green tea (i don't know why- maybe the antioxidant power of green tea commands a premium??) then then have these fresh fruit topping and some regular oreos, capn crunch, dry stuff. there is absolutely NOTHING special about this concept and the fro-yo we've all tried before so i remain perplexed as to why i CRAVE pinkberry every day, and thousands of others do too.
the standard evening text msg to the girls : PINKBERRY?? we skip dinners just so we can have the 8oz with 3 toppings.
we're not the only cuckoos- in the spring st branch, hundreds of people line up everyday. the turnover is tremendously high. and even models, yes models, get in line for this miracle froyo. we love people watching at pinkberry and do that at least 3 times a week now.
then of course since we pay so much for the damn yoghurt, we scrutinize their production line. after swirling your serving of yoghurt into the cup, the server proceeds to WEIGH it. WHY AND WHAT FOR??? no clue. what- are they going to re-swirl if it is off by 0.1oz? maybe one night i should ask to see the weight of my cup to verify it is indeed what i am paying for.
very annoying also is that the cashier is at the beginning of the line. you give her your order and you have to choose the toppings before you pay. she then prints your order on a label and you walk down along the topping bar. why can't we just choose our toppings as we make our way down along the topping bar and avoid the pretentious paper wasting labels???
i hate how inefficient and silly everything is at pinkberry- even the modern-tacky decor bothers me. but i cannot explain why i wake up everyday and think about when i can have my next cup of green tea yoghurt with mango, mochi balls and blueberry.
