The location of the participating B&Js are messed up. Why give free ice cream only in places where the people are well off?

It is a shame that Ben & Jerry were bought out around seven years ago by mega-multinational Unilever and how truly hippie love and granola they still are despite having in theory an independent board of directors.

Very curiously the Brooklyn Ben and Jerry's on Atlantic Avenue is closed today for "renovations." They were open yesterday, if they are open tomorrow, I will boycott Ben and Jerry's. I walked all the way over from work, and there was a closed sign in the door. Jerks...

The one on 3rd Ave always has like a 45 minute minute line. I guess people's hours are worth $2 or whatever the ice cream is worth.

I work at 30 Rock and the Ben & Jerry's in the concourse has a 30 minute line. Doesn't make any sense.

I still haven't gotten over the letdown of the Bleecker St. location not participating last year. Imagine my joy when there was no line! Imagine my sorrow to find that there was no free cream to be had. I sank into such a depression that the only relief to be found was at the bottom of a pint of Half Baked. For a year. At the bodega. Full price. Law suit pending.
