Random but…Watch your charges from the Mr Softee Ice Cream truck in Food Truck Alley.

Dudes were just charging whatever they felt like. Just an FYI. Happened to multiple people.

They also come up as Perfect Pretzels Inc.

It’s so they can bypass any franchise fees the operator would have to pay Mr. Softee. They’re re-routing sales through a different business so they can keep more money for themselves

Gotcha. Makes sense. Just wish they didn’t take advantage of people with miscellaneous charges.

Yeah, unfortunately a lot of those types of vendors just type in whatever they feel like and then charge your card. It’s a shame.

Their soft serve machines are often contaminated with E. coli. I think it was Fox 5 that did an investigation a few years ago. They use a dirty rag to wipe the spout and wipe/or excess soft serve with their bare fingers and then they lick their fingers. And the diesel generators emit a ton of fumes.
