Baskin-Robbins

I have been here many times and I must compliment a young girl by the name of Marissa. She works a lot and always has a smile when she waits on us. She is still in High School and has great customer service. Any employer would be lucky to have her. As most of you know the ice cream is delicious.

To be honest, hadn’t visited a Baskin Robbins in ages! But it was hubby’s birthday yesterday and this is what he wanted. As soon as we waked in we were heartily greeted and welcomed. I scooted off to the restroom while hubby looked over the menu.
Restroom — I was thoroughly surprised at how clean and (if I can say) ‘fresh’ it was. I usually, as a rule, don’t go in public restrooms…especially at fast food establishments. But I was forced to break that rule on this visit. The restroom was really clean and supplies well stocked. And it did NOT smell like a pig sty.
When I came out.. hubby was still mulling over the menu. The attendant was very patient and offered several samples and suggestions. When hubby finally came up with what he wanted.. .which was quite elaborate, the attendant was still very patient and attentive and overly helpful in making this extravagant dessert. It was a banana split but far from typical.. .had several different flavors and scoops and just a ooey gooey mess. Hubby was thoroughly impressed and expressed his gratitude as we left.
Very impressed with this experience!

OK so… it’s in a perfect location to remind me of oooh ice cream… the other day I begged and pleaded for my SO to get me a butter pecan in a waffle cone… it was delicious. Recently I had another craving and said time to go up the street and get me some ice cream… ok not to be completely rude I understand there was a power outage… tornado came through close by yada yada yada… now that was indeed a couple of days ago… no damage… get the delivery truck together because they had literally a handful of flavors available… the gross ones nobody wants to eat… so I settled and still placed my household order only to be told at the window that they still had to substitute something for something by then I was already pondering why I was wasting 20 bucks on ice cream I am settling for! i cancelled my order and took my ass to coldstone creamery down the street… its fine that ur out of flavors but throw a discount out for the inconvenience to your customers if that is the case… and regardless now that I think about it, baskin robbins is entirely too expensive compared to other ice cream places that are way better with better customer service… no longer patrons… told the whole house :-/

Full disclosure: Baskin Robbins was my first employer. It was also my last employer – I’ve worked there for 13 years. Okay that second part was a lie, but I really did work there for 5 months when I was 16 years old.
Everyone seems to prefer some other ice cream place: Cold Stone, Froyo, Ted Drewes, Fritz’s, Oberweis, etc. Nobody ever says Baskin Robbins is their favorite, which is just silly.
Baskin Robbins is as good as any real ice cream place out there, and soft serve places can’t match up.
When I go to Baskin Robbins I get one of the following: chocolate fudge, peanut butter and chocolate, daquiri ice, or gold medal ribbon in a cup or cone. Sometimes I’ll get a cup of vanilla with hot fudge.
You simply cannot match that sort of delicious awesomeness at Froyo. You just can’t. Dutch chocolate at Froyo doesn’t hold a candle to chocolate fudge, I don’t care what kind of weird exotic BS toppings are available. Plus, Baskin Robbins (at least at this location) actually has MORE than 31 flavors. And it has a drive-​thru! When I’m depressed and feel like filling my body with ice cream, do I feel like walking? No! I feel like moving as little as possible.
I am speaking with the perspective of an ice cream professional here. I used to go home with TWO hand-​packed quarts of ice cream (of varying flavors) and woof them both down within 24 hours.
Here are some insider tips if you go to Baskin Robbins:
Pralines and Cream: Don’t get this. When I worked there, my buddy would just dip a spoon into the huge tub and eat pralines. He would rinse the spoon off lightly between pralines, but I wouldn’t consider it sanitary, and I would consider it borderline illegal.
Daquiri Ice: This is one of the great unique flavors of all-​time. The first bite tastes like dish soap, but then after awhile you start to *crave* it. I have eaten my body-​weight in this stuff in my lifetime. You owe it to yourself to try Daquiri Ice.
Black Walnut: The worst flavor. We used to just call it «dirt.» There is no reason to eat this unless you grew up in the Great Depression. The same can be said for the hot butterscotch topping.
