    Didn't have blueberries for the blizzard. Pineapple instead. A Soldotna tradition.

    To whom it may concern 8/12/25 I went in to the soldotna, Alaska location at 44669 Sterling Hwy Ste A, Soldotna, AK 99669. I live 3+ hours away and grew up in Kenai where all my family still resides. My mom placed an order for an ice cream cake that Sunday 8/10/25 in person because they do not take orders online only in person. We wanted a simple picture to be hand drawn in and they said it wasn’t a problem when I had called and talked to them before my mom went in to order it. The pickup was set for that was 8/12/25. I paid in full 40+ dollars (and they still did not inform me they were not able to put the image on) prior the day of pickup so all she had to do was pick it up but to her surprise they told her that they couldn’t print the picture out and no longer drew on the cakes due to being understaffed. I understand to a degree yet now I am left scrambling to get another birthday cake. If they had communicated properly I could have had one of the Dairy Queen’s where I’m from print an edible picture and had them put it on when we were to pick it up. I left my number with one of the employees there for the owner of the Dairy Queen. A few hours later someone called with no caller id and I answered. It was supposedly Phillip Ischi though it sounded more like a 19 year old not an owner of a business. I told him of my grievances and then he gave me a sappy excuse on how he was understaffed and the people who work there are under trained. He complained about how business was like when we were going through Covid. Phillip then kept saying that it’s just an ice cream shop several times, yet his business is called Dairy Queen which is a large corporation and has standards that he should abide by in order to use there name. If it’s just any ice cream shop then call it something else. I asked for a 10 dollar discount for the inconvenience of having to now find someone else to either print the picture or hand draw it on an ice cream cake with just a day’s notice. He showed no remorse and his apology was hollow. He said he can’t do that because he has bills to pay at the end of the month and asked if he could send them to me. He lives in a 700,00k+ house yet he can’t compensate 10 dollars for his lack of training new hires and not communicating. He shouldn’t be in business and Dairy Queen should not allow such behavior to tarnish their name.
