| - I do have biased opinion because I grew up on GS yogurt. I miss the New York Seltzer they used to sell.
But here is a fact of these other competing yogurt shops. They have this trend of laying out a topping bar and letting the customers serve themselves. Here's the problem with that. If you are the 30th customer to purchase a bowl, that means 29 other people had handled the dispensers and the topping spoons before you. Assuming that they all washed their hands for 20 seconds.... No, wait. We can't because usually there isn't a washroom anywhere nearby. Consider how many times a person touches their face, and hair (dirt collectors) and everything else while heading to the yogurt place.
With Golden Spoon, 2 or 3 different people handle the utensils and dispensers all day long and they have a hand washing sink behind the bar which I make sure the employee uses before serving me. I have yet to remind them.
Prices have barely raised since the 80's, and if you get it to go, they pack it tight for you. The weighing thing is just another tool to make money. So while Uswirl and Yogurtland are making money off of your bowl of germs, Golden Spoon gives you quality product for a reasonable price.
But I visited the Eastern location and after 7 months of waiting, they finally had Pistachio. I guess that might be because the other 6 months, I've been going to the Horizon Ridge location.
So, you Yogurtland and Uswirl enthusiasts can keep on going to those germ/bacteria traps, just stay out of my line at Golden Spoon. I don't want to catch what you caught from those other places.
