D'lites Emporium

My family has been visiting this business regularly since we moved the the area almost 3 years ago. We made sure to support them through COVID, especially when we knew the owners had a new baby at home. Today I was pretty disappointed in how the atmosphere has changed. (I walked in a couple of weeks ago to get ice cream and had about six partially punched cards. I was told I had until May 1st to use only the fully punched cards, the partially punched were not accepted.) My daughter and I went in today to redeem one of our two punch cards for a free small ice cream. There was a sign on the door saying they wouldn't accept cash due to a counterfeit problem. All four young people behind the counter seemed confused. We finally got her a small cone and complimentary topping, since I was unable to debit the $0.94 for topping. By the time we made it to the door, half her toppings had fallen off. I would have gladly paid for the toppings in change, but they wouldn't accept it. I just don't understand the direction this business is going. They used to be a family friendly establishment. Now the young men behind the counter have painted nails and really long hair that is not pulled back to prevent it ending up in the food being served. Regardless of the free scoop today, not sure we will be back.
