In these "Dog Days" (lol) of summer, would you rather have

Baskin Robbins "31 Flavors"

or Dairy Queen

Baskin Robbins or TCBY. I like Dairy Queen also, but not as much as the other two.

I've never heard of Baskin Robbins, so Dairy Queen all the way. I love the Georgia Mud Fudge Blizzard.

Other

There really aren't any Dairy Queens or Baskin Robin's around here, but I love, love, love our small privately owned Super Twist

Dairy Queen. We have one right here in our small town.

Not even sure where there is a Baskin Robbins around here.

oh so do I!

We also have a place called Jan's Dip 'N Diner and it has the best hard ice cream!

I have went to Dip 'N Dotz at the mall in Colorado and the ice cream dots melt in your mouth!

Ugh. Neither of those two come close to Graeter's Ice Cream! I think BR tastes like its cream has been frozen and thawed about fifty times over. DQ, at least here, seems to specialize in the soft serve stuff (as well as shake things and scary food) more than ice cream.

Coldstone IS good, but, the price is ridiculous, as is the stupid, loud, greeting. WHY does anyone think being screamed at the moment you walk into a door is good business practice? Sheesh.

Why would do they do? They scream at you? I've never heard them scream here.

This is the 'standard' Coldstone greeting. This is what they go over in training...so, maybe the word 'screaming' is a little over the top, BUT, they are loud, and 'in your face' with the greeting, as they are trained to do. 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.)
