A customer’s 20-cent dispute with a teenage ice cream shop employee in Massachusetts sparked a viral rant defending young workers – and now, the community is opening its wallets to show them support.
Kevin Miller, co-owner of Coldstuff Ice Cream in Blackstone, said a customer berated a 16-year-old employee over the price of a sundae, prompting his brother, Dave Forgit, to publicly call out customers who mistreat their teenage staff. The ice cream was advertised for $9, but the price at the register showed $9.20.
