ok. i clearly have more time on my hands than leah. she has actual customers. and really, you can rearrange a 28 sq. foot space only so many times. so this posting will be a gripe posting. (no new food today. i would review the brazilian buffet place where i picked up my lunch, but again, no cam, and i love that place, so i'll wait until i can give it a proper write up.) so last tuesday, leah, my friend, jayna, and i were excited to go over to baskin robbins for $1 cone tuesday. check it out here. http://www.baskinrobbins.com/. leah and i had been planning on going for a week, after i received an email from b.r. alerting me to this very special day. i was gonna print out the email and take it with us, just for extra insurance. but then i checked the b.r. homepage and there it was! and i made sure the closest b.r. was participating. plus, i heard an announcement on the radio about the offer, so they couldn't possibly not know about it. so the three of us showed up at the strangely empty b.r./dunkin' donuts next door. (it was 7, right before the sox game, so i know we made it at the right time) we told the two teenagers standing behind the i.c. display that we were there for $1 cone tuesday, and they were like what are you talking about? so we went into a full description of the offer. they still didn't know what we were talking about. at first, we all thought that they were just being teenage boys, messing with three older (and wiser) ladies, and that they'd eventually give us our damn i.c. cones. but to no avail. they genuinely had no idea what we were talking about. so we walked away from b.r., coneless and sad (ok, i wasn't that sad, i was about to go to a sox game, but disappointed), but determined to return. this time with a copy of the stupid email. we'll update you this coming tuesday on whether or not we actual got our $1 cones.
