Oh, No! Not the Dome!

Santa gave my husband a gift certificate to Yogli-Mogli, and it’s been burning a hole in his pocket. 

If you’ve never been, Yogli-Mogli features a wall of self-serve frozen yogurt stations with sixteen different flavors.  The yogurt cup comes in one size (HUGE) and you can fill it up with as much or as little as you’d like.  Past the machines you encounter a toppings station with 40 different candies, cookies, crunchies, nuts and fruits, plus a variety of syrups to delight the taste buds.  Since you pay by the ounce, the highlight is weighing the container to see just how much you are about to consume.  We typically come in around sixteen ounces between the two of us.  Except for tonight . . .

Our yogurts weighed in at 21.8 ounces -- over a pound of frozen yogurt and toppings.  The young cashier didn’t think twice about it until we asked for travel lids.  She reached for two lids, looked at H’s “bucket” and said, Hmmm… I think I’ll give you a dome lid.  H and I just looked at each other, but the man behind us started laughing.  Oh, wow, you’ve reached the dome threshold, he said.  Well, it’s the holidays. We could still  hear him laughing when the door closed behind us.

It’s becoming clear why my jeans wouldn’t button and zip yesterday.
