Half an ice-cream

<p>I've been going to Milky Lane on Durban's North Beach since I was five years old (so about 26 years). It's become a bit of an institution for me and my family. I haven't been there in a while though, but decided to pick up the "tradition" again. However, the last few times I've gone I've thought, "hmmm, these look a little smaller than what I remember." Today I actually held the ice-cream up to the menu board (receiving strange looks from those near by)... and they're about half the size of what they are on the board.<br /><br /></p> <p>Having worked in the restaurant industry for 7 years I've learnt to notice all the "corner cutting" tricks, and I would put my money on the fact that the owner (new owner?), much like other franchisees, is attempting to cut his overheads in the easiest way possible... ***** from the customer by reducing portion sizes. And if there's one thing I hate it's a cheap skate. </p> <p> </p> <p>Would love to continue my beach ice-cream tradition but I refuse to support penny pinching.</p>
