Ally’s At the Beach

If I could give them less than 1 star I would. I would actually give them negative 5 starts. We ordered 6 soft served ice cream cones with jimmies…$ 20 (2 kiddie and 4 smalls), fine, not cheap, but on the beach. The blond ‘counter staff’ took our order, then proceeded to make the ice creams. She didn’t wash her hands after taking our money and there were no gloves in sight. I looked into the window as she was making cone #4 and she was using her hand to scoop jimmies onto the ice cream. The ice cream was soft and she tipped it a little too far and it started to tip and she grabbed it with 1 hand, attempting to ‘push’ or ‘mush’ it back in place. When that didn’t work, she walked across the food area to the tall garbage can, used her hand to push the ice cream above the cone off, then proceeded to wipe the excess ice cream off the rest of the cone by scraping it onto the garbage bag and walked back to the machine and began to fill THAT cone up. At this point, I had to stick my head into the window and specifically request a new cone and not the one that she rubbed onto the trash. I asked nicely– and she seemed surprised by my request, like, what’s wrong with this one? Where is the board of health??? There is NO excuse to serve someone food scraped on a garbage can to save the 5 cents on the new cone. I am repulsed, please warn others! (Also the ice cream wasn’t good at all, it wasn’t made correctly and was too soft/​icy.) This place should be shut down, it’s a shame!
