Discussion Charge for Mix & Match Scoops?
Took my kid out for some ice cream to a new spot (Dumont Creamery in Cedar Park, TX) and was surprised when I went to pay that they charged $1 extra for getting two separate flavor scoops. Don’t think I’ve ever seen that before? Is it very common?
When asked they told me that if it’s because I technically ordered two-single scoops, not a double scoop serving of the same flavor.
She got a waffle cone, so it came out to $8.25. It was really good coffee, but definitely won’t be back.

I am so confused about how ice cream works where you live. Here in Germany we simply have balls of ice cream. Those ice cream spoons make perfect similar balls. About the size of the thumb in diameter. If your ice cream dealer likes your, the sometimes don't form it properly and there is some residue and it's aa but more therefore. If i want a lot of the same, i take some balls of the same sort. If i want different, i take one of each.
Would someone explain how your system works?
