Yeah, a lack of customers, all right. Portion sizes were not consistent. There was a big turnover of help. It seemed that they (mostly kids) were poorly trained as to how to make a decent blizzard. One thing I know after living here for so long is that you can not mess with Villagers when it comes to food. Many a restaurant has gone out of business because management thought they could fool us by cutting back on quality and serving sizes. The fact that TWO Dairy Queens both bit the dust is still hard for me to fathom. I love DQ and I wish we had one here. But, I will tell anyone who is thinking of trying it again, "If I order a blizzard I would like the danged cup full, not 2/3 or 3/4 full. Raising your prices and then cutting back on portions just doesn't work for me."
