Castaic Foster's Freeze Boycott Over!

[jumbach]

Remember how pissed I was at the Foster's Freeze in Castaic back in June, when my fiancee and I stopped there the morning after our SFMM trip? (June 13, specificially. We were at SFMM on the 12th.)

 

To recap, I was pissed because we had ordered our food, finished eating, and were on the way out the door. Since we had a long drive up the valley to get home, we decided to use the bathroom. But the guy at the counter told us we couldn't, because we had already finished eating and were therefore no longer customers.

 

So, we initated a six-month boycott. I wrote them a letter saying that if they send me a formal, personalized apology, I would be happy to overlook the whole matter.

 

The letter came yesterday from the corporate office in Rancho Cucamonga. They were quite appalled at the behavior, and said we should never have been denied restroom access, given that we had just eaten and spent $12 on food.

 

So, once again, everyone, feel free to eat at the Castaic Fosters Freeze (about 3 exits up the road from SFMM--Lake Something or other Rd. (Hughes, I think?)

 

Thanks, everyone, for your support, and for the successful boycott!! Hip hip HOORAY!!!

Hmmm...I didn't know there was a Foster's Freeze in Castaic. I thought the only ones left were in Oxnard and Burbank.

There are quite a few left, according to their web site, www.fostersfreeze.com . None up where I am, though.

I've never even heard them! Must be a western thing.

Yeah there are a ton of them. I love their chocolate dipped cones.
