It isn't just Coldstone....I know a national coffee house that has instructions to their staff to 'greet' the person entering the store within a certain number of feet....so, if you do the math, with a counter 20 feet away, the greeting is somewhat loud by necessity to carry and cross the distance.

You are probably used to it, or not offended by it, but, I imagine the Coldstone near you trains their people the same way the Coldstone near me trains theirs...as it is a national chain.
Well, I don't go that much anyway because of the prices. Coldstone is priced to high for me. I could just go to any supermarket and buy a carton of Ice Cream for way cheaper then I would pay for 4 dishes of ice cream at ColdStone.

But, I think I know what you mean. They are sort of loud when we go in(Like I said, which is rare.)
