Today I was driving past Rita’s Water Ice and decided to stop and surprise my daughter with a quart of Blue Raspberry. However, the only flavors available were: cherry, sour patch and mango. No custards were available at the time and no explanation provided.

Naturally I asked if they had it in the back and I was given a dissertation on the fact that they have over 75 flavors and like to “mix” it up! “….At some point we will rotate it out from the back.”

So as I stood there dumbfounded by this new stance in this particular branch, I was forced to purchase a sour patch for the child I was with and nothing for my middle.

Thanks to Rita’s, my child with the sore throat who feels overlooked every hour of the day, was able to watch her sister eat from the branded cup she’s been waiting to have since summer ended.
