HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!! On a tour of Albany with my two special needs children we decided to stop here at Ben and Jerry's for a quick ice cream (our first Ben and Jerry's visit) the young guy at the counter had a serious nasty attitude problem!

Dude, you were just closed for 30 mins with a locked door, wasn’t that your break? Anyway, ice cream is great but the employees just ain’t it. I wish they’d update their hours to accurately reflect when they were actually serving...
Read moreMy fiance and I took our dogs for one final walk together through washington park and decided to stop by Ben and Jerry's. We have to put our almost four year old (ten days) Australian Cattle Dog, Murphy, to sleep and thought he should have one final good day. The man we saw Thursday June 17th was extremely kind and understanding of the situation as we rolled Murphy in in a wagon. He gave him one extra scoop of ice cream and gave us our milkshake on the house. To whoever that man is, thank you so much for making our last day with our dog have one glimmer of happiness. We'll be sure to come...
