I guess, when buying cookies or ice cream, you should always carry a tape measure and kitchen scale with you.

lol!!!

Why are you yelling? In my #4 post, same info, but in non caps. I do give you a nod with being able to eat a Gideon’s and Ghirardelli in the same day. Sugar overload would be my downfall

No cash is a sign of the times. Went to three different places in Orlando all three NoCash

I with you….the price of ice cream out is crazy. Also the price of chocolate at the local chocolate stores is $29 a pound. But it’s nice to go for a treat once in awhile

Assume you go there for a cookie. They give you a cookie and you take a bite out of it. They say it costs $3 and you offer them $3 in cash. Do they have to accept it?

On my money it says something like "legal tender for all debts". Does that mean the business owner has to accept the cash or can they call the police and have me arrested for stealing the cookie?

If they state credit only. Use your cc. What is the big deal?

My wife sees the credit card bill. If I use cash she can’t see how often I sneak out for ice cream. :1rotfl:

I think he was yelling because you kind of gave the wrong impression, or at least left something out of the equation. Half a pound of cookie at $6 might be a much better deal than one $3 cookie that's 3-4 inches.

As for driving an hour and standing in line an hour... to each his own. I wouldn't stand in line an hour for anything, much less a half-pound cookie.

No. There is no Federal law that requires businesses to accept cash. There was a Florida bill last year to require businesses to accept cash, but it didn't pass.

No I copied and pasted from Gideons site some people are so sensitive, and besides I can yell if I want.
Maybe it’s the time we went have never waited a hour to get served, it seeM at times there are more lookers than buyer’s

Who travels without a scale?:bigbow:

Lol

Perfect villager response.

Gideon’s Cooke’s are in the 4” range but thick, so many mix ins is where the weight comes from, with a cake consistency. May be that we are little younger and leave the bubble weekly. We go to Springs every 2-3 weeks for lunch, dinner or the park. First time I waited in line at Gideon’s for 24 minutes, (in the rain) with our family who love them, I thought this will never happen again.

But the cake, cookies, and cold brew are addicting, and for us worth it, otherwise I wouldn’t be spending $50 plus every couple weeks. Other cookies I love is black and white from NY, they can be $18 a pound, so $3 at Darlings could be a bonus.

Side note Gideon’s cookies don’t hold well, they need to be eaten in 2 days or less. Not sure if Darlins shelf life is better, or the weight of a cookie. If it’s on the crispy side then it’s on the light side.
