When I go into an ice cream store 10 minutes before closing I never get anything
that involves or interferes with cleaning the machinery – shake machine, soft ice cream dispenser, etc.

Slightly off topic, I moved to S. Jersey a number of years ago. No shortage of ice cream parlors but the chain stores have to struggle – and that’s do to corporate. No I don’t want to ring bells for superior service, or be serenaded because I put a buck in the tip jar..no do I care for having my ice cream cone weighed as if it were crystal meth.

I wonder how many know of the secret gelato stand in the back of My Little Pizzeria?

I hate to ever be ” that guy” who walks into a food establishment shortly before closing.

That said, it’s ice cream for goodness sake* not a sit down dinner. I could understand no shakes or something the last 15 minutes or so but we’re talking an ice cream cone.

There’s no reason his cone couldn’t be dispensed well before their actual closing time of 11pm. The only thing needing to be cleaned is a lousy scoop.

The “Soup Nazi” shtick does not translate to ice cream. It sounds like the owner needs to truly think about who represents them and the HD brand.

One pissed off customer can easily negate 10 happy ones.

So glad you brought this up. That guy is a total asshole. An ice cream store should be a fun place. That guy scowls are everyone and is mean. And, yes, it’s also a ripoff. Lets send this link to the headquarters. That guy should work at the morgue. I try to convince the kids we should go somewhere else, but sometimes, they beat me with a stick so I have to take them there. Poop to him.

Next time the urge strikes you,may I suggest Brooklyn Heights Deli, on the corner of Hicks and Montague. You can get a whole pint for not much more!!!! Oh, and Ben and Jerry’s make an excellent one filled with chunks of cone if you’re looking for the crunch factor! The other people in here, lighten up!!!

People have complained about that place for years. It is a black mark on the brand, which makes pretty good ice cream. It comes direct from the owner, who is a complete ass. To boot, this is the first stand alone HD store — it should be the best one. They should give freebies! It should be fun to have ice cream. All that said, when you work in retail, it is very much the norm to start packing up the store about 20 minutes from closing…

If this is his biggest complaint in his life he is one lucky bastard.

One Palestianian child is killed every hour and you whine about the ice cream cone. And I am a Jew.
