They don’t honour the flip it upside down or it’s free for blizzards at this location - and the employees did not even say hello back when talked to.

Very disappointed on my $8 medium blizzard tonight. Got home to open up a full cup of vanilla soft serve. Last couple of times I went to this location my experiences were bad so I have not been here in months.
After tonight’s experience and further disappointment for an overpriced failed blizzard I will boycott this location for good.
This location used to be my favourite Dairy Queen on the island and I believe is under new management and has gone downhill.
Remember your money is your vote and I for one no longer vote for what Ladysmith Dairy Queen is putting out their.
