A group of about 8 of us went in to get their home made ice cream sandwiches which were delicious. As we were waiting, one of our senior friends went to the cup display area looking for a cup she had seen before and picked up the different cups to test the feeling while holding the cups individually so she can make an informed decision before purchasing. The male employee on at that time abruptly told my senior friend to not to touch the cups because the store didn't want her to touch the cups. Since we didn't like his manner, we approached 2 other employees and asked information regarding the cup my friend was looking for and how she could possibly order it online, which we found quite helpful. As we were talking with the two other employees, he walked over turned his back and did nothing but stand there to overhear our conversation. I noticed him ear hustling, so I asked my friend if he was the employee who was rude and abrupt with her. She replied in the affirmative in front of the two other employees. I asked them if we could move over because I didn't want to talk in front the rude and abrupt employee. They acquiesced and we continued our conversation. I would suggest that Dripp send their rude and abrupt for training on customer service and and an inservice on dealing with people of other cultures who have inhabited the US for hundreds of years.
