I visited Cold Stone today 9/01 and had an experience that left me very disappointed. While placing multiple orders, I asked the young lady assisting me to place my first order in the freezer so it wouldn’t melt while I helped my 7-year-old decide what she wanted.

But today we decided to stop at the one on Weslaco since it was on the way home. Upon arriving, the employee named Jaire was cleaning the window doors and rolled her eyes at us as we walked in.
