| - I am not a fan of fast food - not to be pretentious because we all have our vices. I happen to prefer to indulge in sweets, like cake and candy and sometimes ice cream. My kids and I often go to McDonald's (or as they call it, "the ice cream store") to eat vanilla cones. And then I sit on my phone and read E!News while they crawl through the tunnels.
They wanted to go to a "new ice cream store" today so we went an extra mile to Chick-Fil-A. I ordered our typical cones and then my 4-year old son blurted out that he wanted chocolate.
Well, of course the only soft serve option is vanilla. I had a brief flashback of the good old days when McDonald's offered chocolate soft serve....and even better, my personal favorite, swirl.
So, I asked if they had any chocolate syrup because we would take some and she said no, they could not do that. But then a man from behind her said, "yes, we can. we can blend some up."
And that is exactly what he did! Our first 2 vanilla cones (that we ordered and paid for) were delivered to us promptly. And then a few minutes later, a huge cup of chocolate ice cream was delivered to us as well. And it had a large cone sticking out of it.
I felt like I needed to pay for it, but he said absolutely not. And whatever this chocolate concoction was, it was really really good. Like a Frostie, and maybe even better.
I am not sure of the last time I got such good customer service, although I am sure that it was not a fast food established. So 5 stars to them for delivering something that was not on the menu (and for no cost!) to make a kid happy. And the very clean play area, free from the stench of urine, was just the icing on the cake.
