I pretty sure they would find a reason not to foll a cone I bring from
home. I just figure that if the cones I can get at the grocery store
are $1.50 per box of 12 that is 12.5 cents per cone. The sugar cones
are 17 cents each..... cents more, not 75 cents more. It's not enough
that they charge as much for two scoops as it costs for a quart of the
stuff, but they really shaft you on the cost of a cone that will make it
so much better.
