About to get into a brand new episode of Klein Alley Show, but first let's tell you about our good friends at the finest airport that ever was and ever will be.
The San Bernardino International Airport. Especially when there's summer travel plans, it can get expensive at these airports.
That's why you got to go to this airport where parking is just five bucks a day.
Plus you got those easy trips, San Francisco or Provo, Utah. Maybe you didn't plan anything this summer. See how easy it is.
Don't be one of those people who has to pack your patience. Go to San Bernardino International Airport.
Okay, enough shilling.
Now it's time to get into a brand new episode of Klein Alley Show.
There's a huge issue affecting us all.
It may have not affected you yet, but it probably will if we don't solve this immediately.
And this all came to our attention last week when we had the endless summer fun pool party at my place,
whatever the hell we called it.
It was definitely summer.
It was hot.
It wasn't fun.
It wasn't fun and it wasn't summer, regardless.
It was not endless.
It was very strict end time.
Well, and I thought I would save the whole thing by putting out a great ice cream cake
to say happy birthday to omar even though he wasn't there got the ice cream cake i was there
in ups spirit you were there and played by a ups man it was great and we um we brought out the ice
cream cake to celebrate and cut into it and there was no ice cream in the cake everyone was
collectively disappointed everyone thought that klein is a big dummy and can't read and bought
the wrong cake you weren't even going to say anything and then we all were like hey by the
way remember you said it was an ice cream cake i didn't realize all you guys were talking behind
my back and saying klein really cheaped out on the ice cream cake little did i know that there
is something happening at a local grocery store that is this goes deep because when i went back
to the scene of the crime yesterday and i did a undercover investigation with video and audio
in some interviews which i'll play with you for you in a moment well you had to go in person
because you got nowhere over the phone well this was me on the phone trying to explain to them the
situation a refund i was hoping for is maybe some sort of a sticker so that future people don't
accidentally buy the cake from the freezer thinking it will be an ice cream cake i see i see um let me
get you over to my supervisor because this is going to be something that the store needs to
know. I can't be the first person that's called with this, right? I haven't ran into the situation
before. Thank you. She didn't seem to care that much. She's pulling a you move where she's
pretending to have a conversation with somebody else to get off the phone. And then she proceeded
to put me on hold for 17 minutes only to then get the busy signal treatment. They did not get me to
a manager. So you said I need to do this. So I went over to the store yesterday and let me just
say it started out of the gate it started a little weird because i was standing outside the store
where people um usually will wait to get people to sign petitions i wanted to let people know just
regular shoppers as to what was happening oh did you have a clipboard i didn't have a clipboard but
i did have then you're just another schmuck standing in front of a grocery i felt bad because
pretty quickly i would had some competition with there was a lot of people that were trying to just
get in the store and there was like four different people that were all trying to get their attention
to sign stuff and i was there trying to let them know hey be careful if you buy an ice cream cake
it may not have ice cream in it. That's nice. You don't want them to sign anything.
You just want to warn them. Just warning, but then
I met this woman who was out there trying to raise
money. What are you trying to get people to sign?
No, I'm raising donations
to be able to afford my cosmetology
school uniform so I can start a nice school.
So she wanted money to raise money
for her cosmetology school uniform.
I mean, scam, right? Right.
I'm here because they have
ice cream cakes in there they're selling
that don't even have ice cream in the cake.
They keep them in the freezer
so you think it's ice cream
and then you get home and you cut into it.
It's just cake.
Isn't that crazy?
So she obviously thought my cause
was more important than her cause.
I'm talking to you.
So I go into the store.
Do you think this is one of those situations
where the hot dog cart people
fight with the other hot dog cart people
because this is their beat?
Or like you were in somebody else's spot?
Like, no, I'm supposed to be scamming people
for my cosmetology uniform.
What are you doing here?
Well, there was someone trying to sell candy for basketball jerseys.
That's the old school one.
Another scam.
Right, here's some, we're selling M&Ms, right, that they got inside.
And then there's the sign that says, please don't panhandle or, you know, they don't want you outside.
So this is technically not panhandling.
Right.
It's selling something.
Right, and I was just there to give free advice.
That's it, free advice.
Ali, as I walked into the store.
You're truly wasting everyone's time.
This is the video I was showing because I found something else out that was fascinating when I got up to the freezer where I purchased the supposed ice cream cake from.
look at this
the freezer cake
ice cream cake
even more misleading
ice cream cake
says it on
I didn't realize this
at the time
on the door of the freezer
the one that you used
oh yeah
says ice cream cake
whoa
there is not
da da da
there's not one ice cream cake
in that freezer
no way
check them all
boom
checked them all
you checked them all
look at these things
in the ice cream cake
section
ice cream cake
marble inside.
This is the one I've got. Marble cake
with ice. I know it's loud because
that's the sound of the freezer. This is terrible.
That's the freezer sound.
It's showing how cold it is.
These are not ice cream cakes. Is that crazy?
I mean, if you look at the ice cream cake,
so you assume,
I don't think there's an ice cream cake in here.
That's my point.
This is
a crazy situation.
How do you know that they're not ice cream cakes?
You had to eat them all.
No, I didn't have to eat them all.
Yeah, you have to cut into them to really see.
I started researching each cake in there, like really looking into it.
And what do you do?
What do you mean, what do I do?
I looked at, I finally read the labels, and there was nothing in there.
And it doesn't say anything about the ice cream.
There's nothing about ice cream.
They're in the ice cream cake freezer at the store.
It says, listen to what it says on top of the freezer.
Ice cream cake, slice of life, happy desserts.
I got news for you.
Not happy desserts.
This is the one.
You tell me that doesn't look like ice cream.
Now I brought a man over.
Are you talking to anybody?
I'm talking to myself.
At this point.
Crazy man.
Some people are just walking by you and talking to yourself in the grocery store.
Look at this.
Look at this, other you.
Yeah, I was.
So I was.
I started talking to myself, Allie.
And then I got an employee came over to check on the situation, as they should have.
And I alerted him to something.
And I'll tell you right now, if you don't think this is a big deal, listen to this.
This says ice cream cakes, right?
So I bought this cake here like last week.
Yeah.
Right?
You would think that's ice cream cake, right?
Well, it's not.
It's not.
Isn't that crazy?
He does not care.
No, he cares.
But it's not.
He cares.
The guy cares.
Listen.
Oh, shoot.
Oh, shoot.
Oh, shoot.
See?
Big problem.
He's looking at it, too.
He can't figure it out.
It's a marvel.
Right.
Yeah, but, right.
It's in the frozen.
It says ice cream cakes on the sign.
I took it home frozen, cut into it, expecting ice cream.
Just regular cakes.
Just regular cakes.
Do you know how long this has been happening?
Because I think this is like something that goes, like, how many people have been, like,
I'm not saying a scam, but like
disappointed.
Yeah. Or any of these ice cream cakes?
I would say
let's see, there's some more
on the ice cream aisle than aisle 8
if you go to the left. I mean, he thinks
I'm trying to buy an ice cream cake. He's trying to dissuade you.
He's trying to distract you with aisle 8.
Move me over to aisle 8. Why would I go to aisle 8?
Now you're aisle 8's problem.
I'm over there. In fact, I talked to another
employee who tells me the ice cream...
Is this the guy that works in that section?
This guy is a... I don't know. He worked at the store.
I don't know if it was his section.
I saw him later bagging groceries.
Because sometimes those sections don't talk to each other.
They don't know anything about not their section.
I mean, I didn't go to the produce guy.
Let's put it that way.
I did find a guy that was standing near the section of the cake slash laundry detergent slash medicines.
And he works at the grocery store because he cares.
Right, he cares.
I would think.
But, like, this says ice cream cake.
And then this, like, if someone were to hold this, I mean, feel it.
It's frozen, dude.
It's solid.
You'd think it's an ice cream cake.
It's like a cream cheese.
So I was, like, devastated, and the pool party was still epic, but there was no ice cream.
There was no ice cream.
So I just wanted to get your official statement, but I guess I'll probably have to go through the PR department or something.
So I asked my manager, and I was all prone.
I called this week a couple times.
They kept saying they would put me through the manager, and then they hung up on me.
I just, once again, I was thinking, I didn't think you guys were going to change anything.
I just thought it would be good to have a big sticker on here that says...
Ice cream.
Not ice cream.
Not ice cream.
Yeah, you got it.
Yeah.
You're picking up what I'm putting down, not ice cream.
You're in too deep, man.
This guy knows what's up.
I think there's enough here for a Netflix documentary.
It's a total scandal.
I thought it was my duty at this point, Allie, to go up to random shoppers in the store.
So where did they get with this?
Nothing?
Nothing with that guy.
But I talked to another guy that was his supervisor.
Oh, okay.
So there's some fake manager stuff going on now.
But this was me just approaching regular shoppers to let them know, do not buy an ice cream cake if that's your plan tonight.
A lot of them were not there to buy ice cream cakes, as I learned.
I mean, yeah, how many of these have you purchased?
Heads up, they're selling ice cream cakes here.
They don't have ice cream in them.
There's regular cakes.
Now, this guy was in a different aisle, but he was alarmed clearly by this news.
What was this guy shopping for at the time?
At the time, I think he was buying cereal.
But I did want him to know that if his plan...
He seems shocked, though.
He's shocked.
But you're wrong.
He is alarmed by this.
He just drops all the cereal and runs out.
He was alarmed by the news.
Yeah, I know.
Look in the...
I don't know if you were here for an ice cream cake or no?
No.
Oh, okay.
Because they have freezers as ice cream cakes.
I bought one.
I cut into it.
Just regular cake.
Yeah, it's crazy.
So I'm just letting people know in the store.
All right.
You're welcome.
Man, you broke that guy.
He doesn't even have more words.
It's just grunts.
And finally...
He's looking around right now for a person that works there.
And finally, I go to the...
This is now...
This guy is in charge because this guy has the keys.
You know, you need keys to get anything these days.
So not ice cream cakes because there's not ice cream.
But you need keys for batteries or anything of any value.
Alcohol.
I found the key guy.
The key guy's got power at the store.
And listen to this.
I mean, his mind was blown too.
Yes, sir.
Are you aware that also in the store, the ice cream cake situation is going on?
Ice cream cake?
it should be on like the bakery aisle.
That's what you think, right?
But those cakes. See, he sent me right
back to where I started. The ice cream,
the cake aisle. You said, are you aware of the ice
cream cake situation? And he was like, they're over
there. Yeah.
That's how he, that's your situation.
Because he's not aware of the situation.
It says ice cream cake. Yeah. You cut into
them, no ice cream. It's just a frozen cake.
Yes. You hear that reaction?
Oh my God, that was even lower. Whoa. That was even less
energy. That guy let out a whoa. He couldn't even
Crazy.
That does not make sense.
Hello?
This guy, Allie, I'm telling you right now,
it's such a big deal that even the people that work there
don't understand what's happening.
You don't even know.
They're probably radioing each other behind your back
going, is anyone going to tell this guy to leave?
Because now you're bothering the customers.
I'm not bothering the customers.
I'm helping.
Who wants to be approached when they're shopping?
Buy any at Buddy.
If I was there when I was shopping
and someone came up to me and said,
heads up, if you're buying an ice cream cake,
don't buy it from the case that says ice cream cakes.
It's a regular cake.
I would be like, thank you.
You saved me some money.
Oh, I would think that I'm about to get robbed or something.
Well, anyway, so at the end of the whole thing, this guy and his employee at the grocery store,
and here's what he said, and I think you're going to be surprised by this, guys.
I got fooled by a fake Carvel.
Interesting.
So I'll just let you know.
I know you work here, so maybe you can spread the word.
I will.
But people are on to it now because the word is getting out about the ice cream cakes.
I didn't even know that.
Yeah, you should go check there.
Don't be fooled by the sign that says ice cream cakes.
Talked to someone else in the store.
He was shocked.
Yeah, there was no ice cream.
Yeah, shocked.
The real ice cream came like Baskin Robbins.
Yeah, guy told me go to Baskin Robbins.
He said, why are you even here for ice cream?
Yeah, go to Baskin.
I know, I know.
They're good.
Next time I won't cheap out, you know?
No, sir.
All right, thanks, man.
Sorry about that.
So, Allie, after all of this, I think we feel...
You got nowhere.
Well, no, I got the word out.
No, that guy said he'll let people know, and he definitely won't.
Well...
5-6-2 said, this goes deep.
I bought one that turned out to be a regular cake, too.
And I think this runs all the way up to big cake.
It does.
It does.
You're in danger.
It started like some sort of tip line or something.
People call in.
This runs all the way up to sheet cake, guys.
Sheet cake.
Because I'm telling you right now, an entire freezer.
This whole bit's sheet cake.
Thank you.
