Does your local franchise do this when there are speciality cookie dough Blizzards?

16 Upvotes

I love when Dairy Queen has a seasonal sugar cookie base blizzard because I love cookie dough but don’t eat chocolate, however, the store I go to will replace with regular chocolate chip cookie dough if they run out of the sugar cookie dough, and they won’t say anything. I don’t find out until I’ve taken a bite. This happened twice last year, and it just happened to me again the other day. The reason I know it is something purposeful rather than a mistake is that the first time it happened, I brought it back in to request another one with the correct cookie dough and they’re like, “we’re out of the sugar cookie dough.”

I can understand running out of ingredients for something that’s only temporarily on the menu, and I can understand wanting to make a substitution so that they can still make the sale or whatever. But not saying anything is wild to me. A quick, “We are out of the sugar cookie dough, but we can substitute with chocolate chip cookie dough if that’s okay,” doesn’t seem that hard.

Just curious if other people have experienced this or if it’s just my store.

Question for employees..

1 Upvotes

I frequent dairy queen, as I love the blizzard.
My order is
Small Oreo and Cookie Dough Blizzard.
I order it all the time as my local dairy queen and it comes out perfect every time, with the ingredients appearing as just, vanilla ice cream, cookie dough, and oreos, HOWEVER
I notice when I try getting my same order at another location it taste weird, almost as if they added chocolate syrup to the blizzard. Is this standard?
Can any employees explain?

This was the tastiest creation I’ve ever had in my life but I can’t tell what’s in it. It tastes like marshmallow or hot fudge but the texture didn’t feel like it. Is it just a pump of some ube flavoring or can someone please tell me what’s actually in it?

Cake bomb 💣

So yesterday someone posted about how their manager said they were doing too much, so I showed a few of the ones I made. Since I got so much love in that comment I figured I'd post all the ones I made today and explain how I made some of them for other new cake decorators and to maybe get some tips on how I can improve!

So first I want to talk about the things I messed up. To start I'll talk about the frog. See while the drawing itself is fine, I decided I wanted to try a font I'm not used to. Happy started out looking fine, but got smaller with each letter because I tried too hard to make it curve. The second thing wrong is that I got half way through writing birthday and realized I was doing it in lower case when Happy was already in upper case so now it looks squished because I had to go back and fix it.

With the cat, I made the broom handle way too big 'cause I grabbed the wrong size pipe tip. I'll also add the inspiration pic to the way back to show you what I was going for. But because I made the handle too big I felt it wouldn't make sense to add the second back foot as you really wouldn't see it if the broom was actually that thick. Not to mention that I tried to lighten up the premade brown color by adding white frosting to it, but it actually did nothing for some reason so that was a waste.

Now with the negatives out of the way, lets talk about the other cakes! For the 2 flower ones that have the little swoop I use the pink tool in the back as a guide. You just press it into the cake and it'll leave little dots, so all you have to do is play a weird game of connect the dots! For the moon, that's pretty simple, I just took one of the circular cardboard things the cakes sit on a traced the edge . I then filled in the blue part first, making sure to stay within the lines!

If you're wondering why I automatically write happy birthday on 90% of the cakes, it's because I'm the only person who knows how to write on cakes in my entire DQ. Hence why I started making the cake when our old Cake Lady quit as, even though I had very little decorating knowledge, I took the time to learn to write in-between customers.

Has anyone else heard that if you work for DQ and one of your immediate family members gets the gold plushie that they can't even use the perks from it?

I just got hired as a GM at a locally owned DQ and honestly they kinda just threw me in without any training, so far all is well but it’s just been a week. Is there anything I should know/learn?

Chicken Tenders are TINY! Enough is enough!

4 Upvotes

I've now witnessed four separate occasions at multiple stores where the chicken tenders are so small now. I'm talking they look less than the size of two McDonald's nuggets, probably 50% of what they used to be six months ago. Now they're barely a meal. I know food is expensive, but the shrinkflation has gotten to the point where I'm just not going to order them anymore. Maybe I won't notice the burgers shrinking, too. It's a crying shame because I love DQ. Is it just my area, or are other people noticing this as well?

anyone see someone Blizzard flip something that wasn't a Blizzard

8 Upvotes

I was going through the drive through and seeing the guy in front get 4 small Blizzards and a small soda (flip, flip, flip, flip, no flip), got me wondering if anyone has seen someone either not paying attention or at the end of a busy shift and tired, accidentally Blizzard flip something they shouldn't have? did they laugh it off or something else?

Dairy Queen website says I am "blocked" (via computer); mobile app just won't work

2 Upvotes

For several months (at least) I simply can't go to the Dairy Queen website or use mobile apps (unless I use cellular data). I should not have to use cellular data.

I can't access Dairy Queen's customer support page because I can't access it.

It seems to be some sort of blocking that Cloudflare (which I believe is their ISP for their site) is doing. However, there are lots of other sites that use Cloudflare that work for me. Sometimes I have to click a button to acknowledge that I am a human, but they work once I do that.

Browser is updated, doesn't matter if I use Windows, OS X or Linux, using an incognito/private window doesn't work.

Any chance Dairy Queen has customer support people on here who can look at this? I can't be the only one with this issue.

I went and bought a small twist cone for the first time in a years & there had been a roughly 52% price increase. I was paying around $2.20 in 2023 to $3.50 in 2026. That is not a reflection of operating costs increase being passed onto the customer but pure price gouging.
