I worked a Baskin-Robbins when I was in high school. One day. Turns out, I'm not a "customer service" kind of guy.

I worked in retail, a
long time ago, but I wasn't in a customer facing job.
Baskin Robbins is a franchise operation, and the BRs around me seem to be operated by Indians. It's the sort of thing immigrants can do with minimal fluency in English. My local ones are combo Dunkin Donuts/Baskin Robbins outlets. (I'm not sure stand alone BR outlets exist now.)
The staff are courteous enough, though there are occasional challenges in placing orders due to low fluency in English. I do need to have a conversation with the one a block from me about their signage. The sign on the door says they are open till 8pm Saturday and Sunday. They actually close around 6. Er, might want to change your sign to reflect reality?
It's always a treat when local parents/caregivers bring little kids in for ice cream. Happy kids...
