Dairy Queen Orange Julius

Im in this mall a lot, and I’ve been to this DQ multiple times and every time I go the employees seem to be in a bad mood. They’re not very talkative, or smile too much. But hey, I like the ice cream treats: D

I love the taste usually, but they didn’t put enough orange flavor this time around.
Medium costs about $ 3.29.
They also serve a handful of smoothies, juices, and there’s a dairy queen inside.

The Dairy Queen is on the first floor of the mall. I believe the place is family owned/​operated… I went on Black Friday, which is probably why the man behind the counter looked grouchy.
Aside from being a bit overpriced (they’re in a mall, so this is very much expected), the guy just wasn’t friendly — he gave me my smoothie, but I felt like I could sense how much he wished he wasn’t operating business at the ungodly hour of 5AM. You could feel the sorrow overflowing… as if he should have opened up something more than just a DQ/​OJ; maybe close the place down and establish that book/​coffee shop instead. Anything but serving drinks and hot dogs.
The son and the wife should have been operating the register (they looked more amiable, but they were tending to the hot dogs and condiments). Smoothies and ice cream should make you smile… Dinah has a point — I just don’t feel like this was the place to get peppy. Whatever you do, don’t go here depressed, or you might walk away with potentially emo/​suicidal. Otherwise, the Orange Julius was great!

Wow $ 4 for a mini blizzard. It was obvious this location was franchised. NO ONE SMILED AT ME :(
