A dad was left fuming after saying he was charged almost £20 for four ice cream cones.

Frank Krzyzanowski bought the sweet treats for himself, his partner Asya, 30, daughter Aneta, 16, and sons Frank Jr, eight, and nine-month-old Adrian.

The 38-year-old said he ordered “standard 99 cones.”

The ice creams came with a flake and some sauce but Frank was gobsmacked when he claimed he was charged a whopping £18.

He says that some of the children were in tears when their parents said they couldn’t afford to buy them an ice cream.

“The amount of kids crying because parents refuse to get ripped off is not beneficial to the park or its guests,” Frank claimed to What’s the Jam.

“Families are being charged up to £4.50 for a basic cone.

“It’s extortionate for a public park especially when cash is refused as it’s card only, so kids with pocket money can’t even buy one.

“It’s embarrassing seeing kids cry because parents can’t justify paying £15 to £18 for a round of ice creams.

“I ordered four standard 99 cones with a flake and sauce.

“It wasn’t until the card machine flashed up the total that I realised how steep the price was.

“My heart sank.

“I was too embarrassed to say anything, with my kids already holding the cone, so I just paid, but inside I was fuming.

“It wasn’t about the money, it was the principle.

“You feel trapped. You’re standing there with your children, the ice creams are already made, and suddenly you’re cornered into paying extortionate prices in a public park.

“It’s humiliating and feels like you’re being taken advantage of.”

Frank claims that there was a price list on the van but it was so small he didn’t notice it.

He bought them from a van in Burnley, on Monday (4 Aug).

He claimed: “It’s still ridiculous.

“Local families are being exploited in a cost of living crisis.

“The park’s cafe doesn’t sell ice creams so there are no cheaper options.

“There was only a small A4 sign with prices.

“It’s a blatant scam hidden in plain sight and families are being forced into it because there’s no alternative.”

Royd Ices has been approached for comment.
