Rita's Italian Ice & Frozen Custard — Restaurant in Fairfax

Visited Wednesday April 2. I usually love Rita’s. The kid working there as beyond rude. He seemed annoyed I was there near closing and he wanted to leave. He stood there with his arms folded and when I asked simple questions like “Is there enough for a large ice” he told me to “look at it yourself.” I can’t recall the last time I encountered such an arrogant attitude through an entire encounter at Rita’s. Every question I asked seemed like I was bothering him. He was likely a new hire because I never saw him there last year and I went to that location a lot.

There's a variety of flavors like pear, mango and cotton candy. Nobody is doing it like rita's man, they're unmatched.
