    Just wanted to give props to Halima, it's always such a pleasure seeing her whenever I come in. She's always so warm and inviting, she makes my day.

    I purchased Breyers strawberry ice cream. It expired two months ago. It had thawed, been refrozen and was covered in slush and half an inch of water ice on the top. Hard water crystals within the mix. As this is the second time I have purchased something that needed binning I will not return there.
