Sun of a... I got one from Baskin Robins the day before and yesterday was our Thursday night game.

How does giving away free cake benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation? Unless those kids with cancer are wishing for people to pig out on free ice cream, I don't get it.

 

[Zimri]

I am assuming that the cake is free but there will be "donation boxes" with all proceeds going to make a wish.

Restaurants here do the same thing. have a night with a "special" menu everything is free and you can order as much as you want but a "donation" is expected. There is no minimum donation though and if you wanna walk out without paying you can. You know if you are a real peice of work or somethin.

It's too bad my son's wheelchair won't navigate the intricate path of retractable railing that all of the Coldstone's in my area rely on. They herd you into the store then wrap you around the railing a few times before you can reach the counter. I have complained to the management; to no avail. So, I simply enter the store and begin shoving the railing posts out of my way, inevitably earning a look of disapproval from the staff on duty.

I'm surprised that they don't just let you go up to front, skipping the line. Y'know, like how they handle it at Disneyland. If I were in line at Coldstone and someone in a wheelchair cut the line I wouldn't complain.

The cake was good and everything, but the execution of the event was terrible. There were no signs up, and the nearest ColdStone is less than a mile away from a heavy-traffic trolley station. Hell, even the customers in the place didn't know about it. There was about $5 in the Make-a-Wish jar. Sad.

A Coldstone only recently opened up in our area. I liken it to the "Starbucks" of ice cream. Overpriced, with all kinds 'o funky trendy flavors.

Give me DQ any day. Soft serve vanilla with marshmallow topping and rainbow sprinkles. 1/2 the price and more satisfying!

I hate the glaring fluorescent lights and how all the staff shout out "WELCOME TO COLDSTONE!!!" as soon you step into the door.

Good ice cream though.

No matter what, they have to adhere to the building code that requires a 36" spacing for wheelchair access. At least that's how it is here in North Carolina. Unless you're in an older structure covered under the "Grandfather Clause" (not sure the age a building would have to be to qualify). Any modern structure has to adhere to the code or get a nastygram from the building inspector and/or fire marshal.
