It really is too hot to be out for too long without taking a dip in the water—so once more, creamtopi have gathered under my umbrella tables and counters to hide from the dastardly sun. Lucky for them, since I don't have as many customers today I can experiment with making new treats… and the general creamtopus populace can snack on the duds.
The creamtopus with a weird mark on its head has returned! For most of the day until closing, my friend kept me company at the cash register. Maybe I should think of a name for them…
My weird mark creamtopus compatriot has met and made friends with the chipped cone creamtopus. Vanilla and chocolate… what a nice combo. Despite having a small scuffle over whether or not their shared cream soda should have a scoop of mango or peach sherbet on top, they've gotten along well with each other. They also seem to be… "representatives" of their kind to the baos milling about the beach today. It's nice to see their efforts working for the betterment of creamtopus kind… and the diversity of the treats they get.
A discovery of note: creamtopi DO indeed have preferences for treats other than sweets. My two creamtopi friends served a third a sandwich, and it fished out only the ham to eat. How interesting.
It's the beginning of a new week, and I've decided to make a bit of promotional material — buy a small scoop of ice cream for a creamtopus, get a free small scoop in return. So far, it's turned out to be quite the lucrative deal for both baos and creamtopi alike. I've already run out of my allotted stock for today! Going forward—at least for the rest of the summer—I'll have to order a wider range of frozen treats.
Also, I've put some chocolate wafer sticks in the freezer for a minute and let my two odd creamtopi friends try them out. They seem to enjoy it so much, they've taken the container to their friends. I do hope that container ends up in the proper disposal bin eventually…
After watching me dispose of enough beach trash, it seems that the creamtopus group that frequents my café have begun doing the same. It warms my filling to see a tower of creamtopi tug along a bag of trash to properly dispose of it elsewhere. Mayhaps the treats they receive as rewards help to motivate them, but… they're doing fine work, so no qualms here.
Additionally, some creamtopi—like my weird mark friend and my chipped cone friend—have begun to bring me lost items from visiting tourists. Oh bao, what am I going to do with these…
I've quickly taken to setting up a lost and found section in my café for all the trinkets that the creamtopi keep bringing in. It's done well for business; folks who come in looking for lost items, end up buying a drink or two… and if something stays lost for a while, I plan to eventually take them somewhere they can find their owner properly.
I do wonder if these creamtopi know what they're doing… at this rate, mayhaps they could even start serving food or take orders. Or perhaps I'm dreaming at this point…
