  • Thanks to ritters I have been having a good laugh for over two hours..

    I went there and ordered a large vanilla milksmake. And something told me to ask for some strange reason.....

    I said it does come with whip cream and a cherry ? She said oh no. You gotta pay for the whip cream and the cherries of thirty six cents apiece...

    I quite politely told the lady she's out of her gourd to give me my money back and I said good day...

    The people that were standing behind me said they're charging for whip cream on a milkshake. I'm like they sure are close to cherry. We have never heard of anywhere ever ever and multiple states. Where if you buy a vanilla milkshake , you don't get whipped cream on it automatically and a cherry..

    So i'm gonna contact everybody that I know. you treat people ridiculously. If you ask me.....

    I'm gonna Tell everybody I know.

    Most ridiculous business in the world. I would say I wish you the best but in this case I actually don't take care.

    And remember if it isn't for customers. You wouldn't have any god dang money to begin with period.

    PS my name is Jerry. Have you got a problem with anything That I have said to you. Then give me a call and we will come down there with video... audio. And we'll let everybody know.

    Here's my phone number [redacted]. You have a wonderful night.

    Ridiculous

    • Jerry:

      Please do go to Ritter's & shoot the video you offered & send it to us for posting.

      Please include your outraged narration and explanation of how charging extra for "whip cream" and a cherry on a vanilla "milksmake" makes Ritter's the "most ridiculous business in the world."

      Please include the reactions of some of the people you told so this company can understand your reach. We will publish & ask the corporation to respond.

      And please tell us a little about yourself and how you've managed to maintain such a carefree life, as this seems to be one of the worst indignities and hardships you've suffered.

      I'm sure most people, including the girl working the counter at Ritter's, wish a whip cream/cherry surcharge was the worst indignity they had to suffer most days.

      Thank you for sharing!
