Yesterday Ben & Jerry's was giving away a free scoop of ice cream between noon and 8 PM. I wanted to take Kyleigh there but she was still napping when I got home around 4:30 PM. She finally woke up around 5:30 PM, but the weather suddenly changed and it was pouring down thunder shower, so we couldn't go out. Finally the thunder shower stopped and the four of us (my mom, my husband, Kyleigh, and myself) headed to the Ben & Jerry's store. We got there at 7:34 PM, but the employee said they already cut off the free offer at 7:30 PM. So we missed it by 4 minutes. What a bummer.

I got there five minutes after you did. I went nuts. I started chanting Ben and Jerry Suck. Pretty soon, the manager said how much if you just go away. I got lots of ice cream now.

Sandesh - Well, if they were to close 30 minutes early, they should have said that.

Why they closed early? Simple... They didn't want to incur more loss...
