Scoopie!

The Inside Scoop: 

Have you ever heard of or seen Scoopie?  Scoopie is the Culver's mascot.  The iconic Scoopie at Culvers is one of my least favorite jobs to do at Culvers. The actual costume is the worst smelling thing we have in the store; after all its been worn by hot, sweaty, mean for years without ever being washed.  It's kind of like smelling high school boys in the locker room after their football game.  Absolutely disgusting! When you have to stand out there waving at people for 3 hours you really start to get drained if its a hot day. The people always are waving at you and you don't ever have down time to relax and take a break. On the plus side, I was working at Sunset Culver's while I was Scoopie.  Sunset Drive is an extremely busy road and because it's so busy I received a lot of honks and waves.  In between the honks and waves, I had to greet all the little kids that wanted to come up and see Scoopie.  I gave multiple hugs and high fives.  I have to admit I had no kids that cried.  Maybe Scoopie isn't as scary as clowns are?????

The picture that I have uploaded here is of me and my Mom.  Yes, my proud parents had to come visit 'their' Scoopie!  I also took a picture with my Dad and my little brother Nolan.  Nolan bragged the whole next day to all of his friends that his brother was Scoopie.

I can say that my Scoopie debut was a one and done.  3 hours in a disgusting smelling outfit in 75 degree weather was about all I could take.  It was shortly after my Scoopie debut that I transferred to the Mukwonago Culver's.  The first question I asked was, do you have a Scoopie uniform?  Thankfully, the answer was no.

Next time you are visiting a Culver's with a Scoopie, please at least honk or give them a wave.  It definitely helps the hours pass by.
