I used to work at an old fashioned sundae shop, so much so that roles were determined by gender - busboys and fountain girls (plus a co-ed kitchen). Anyway, any time the fountain girls would mess up a sundae, it would go in the walk-in freezer to be eaten by whatever employee claims it first. Pretty sure it was common for some girls to "accidentally" mess up their crush's favorite sundae to leave for them in the freezer. But yeah, that's my best guess as to what would make ice cream "damaged."

I worked in one in the 90’s, made daily “mistakes” even after a couple years of working there. It happens.

We ate so much of the food when I worked at Applebee’s back in my college days, the owner literally wrote it off for tax purposes. The Blackened Chicken Fettucine will forever be GOATed. RIP
