Athans Ice House — Local services in Santa Fe Springs

The (respectfully for identification purposes) older caucasian woman who worked there was very rude and inconsiderate. As soon as I parked, she came outside and stood over my car for whatever reason and stared at me until I got out of my vehicle. I asked her a question multiple times because she kept asking me over and over what I was saying, and eventually she just brushed me off and said she didn't know what I was talking about and walked inside for a brief moment. I took a few seconds to gather myself and she came out and very rudely demanded I move my car, and from what I can tell I'm not the first person she's done this to. Honestly, as someone who's been discriminated against in the past, her demeanor and tone definitely had racist undertones. Common courtesy wouldn't have been too much to ask, plus I was literally the only car parked in front of the building so it's not as though the place was packed. I see the owner responds, that should be...

This was the only place where I could find bagged chipped ice. And they deliver!

I had an absolutely great experience with Athan's Ice House. The day before my garden party, I was Googling where to find chipped ice for cocktails and how many bags I would need to keep the ice tubs filled and the canned/bottled drinks cool. I came across Athan's Ice House on the web at 3:30PM on a Friday afternoon for my party the next day and called. The person who answered was the owner's wife. Turns out this is a small locally owned business here in SoCal. We worked out how much ice I would need and she said it could be delivered the next morning. Woohoo!!! That saved me over an hour on prep time, the ice was delivered between 9 and 9:30 AM as promised. Very courteous and they brought the ice to exactly where I needed it placed.

I can't recommend them highly enough for ice. And if you don't want to pay the delivery fee, you can go down and pick...

I don't know what's wrong with the lady but she pretty much cussed me out cause I parked near by. Had to drop off something important next door & she's screaming at me. Don't even bother coming here.

Reply to Owner: First of all there is no sign that says customer only parking. If there had been one I wouldn't have parked there. Second I like how you mention the pot shop like if I went to go buy pot. It was a quick delivery which I have a delivery receipt for but whatever helps your narrative. Third I was not asked, an employee came hitting my car's window & demanded I move because they had to move the delivery truck(which wasn't moved at all so that was a lie). Honestly this situation wouldn't have had happened had I actually been asked if I could move. Anyways good luck with the business & hopefully the employees learn simple...
