Sadly at the Kevin release my friend overheard people asking for "the fat kid." That's it, just "the fat kid." No mention of a pin, nothing. First off, Russell is the "fat kid." Yes there is a pin for sale, the line is outside, you couldn't have missed it. Soooo many people this morning calling family members and friends. Also heard someone paid the CD give-a-way guys on the Hollywood strip to go buy some. 3 "surprise" releases in one day. I'll consider the PTD a surprise since we didn't know it was coming.
NOW, my biggest beef is with DSF at the moment. You have a long line of over 100 people waiting to buy the PTD and you have over 11 people on staff and yet you have
1 person taking PTD orders and 1 helper running for hot fudge or other flavors not at the to-go counter. That is totally unacceptable. And to add insult to injury, you then give out lazy half full ice creams with half the usual amount and just slopped together. Just because we are pin people and you are busy doesn't mean your standards andquality control should go completely out the window. I buy PTD's for both, the ice cream and the pin. I am not there to make money and resell them. I am there to buy a pin I like and enjoy ice cream I love. Today, I had to wait 90+ minutes to buy a pin because DSF management scurried out of site as soon as the Brave pin sold out. Left the troops to lean against the wall all fed up with the shady characters trying to make sure this friend or that friend has enough cash to buy them their pin for them. Like Pearls says, "I'm tired of this crap."
