Yay, I have sorbet!
Not so yay, I bought it at Lamb's. However, Albertson's still didn't have it. We went to Baskin Robbins as Scott recommended their lemon sorbet - they didn't have any out. Then Albertson's. Then Cold Stone Creamery, which I'd never been to before. They had a lemon sorbet but the flavor balance was wrong, too bland and not ... something enough, I'm not sure what, but it wasn't right or even close. Then on to Lamb's, which had it, and had ended the sale already although other stores haven't. I got two pints, at full price, gladly. And garlic bread, which was on advertised special for $1.29. They do make good garlic bread.
Cold Stone Creamery is an experience. You pick your flavor and your "mix ins" (candy bars, fruits, cookie dough, etc., etc) which they then crush into the ice cream and mix about on the counter, then put in a bowl or waffle cone for you. I tried Scott's mint thingy with Oreos and fudge syrup mixed in. The aftertaste was almost exactly like Aquafresh. Ew. Nasty. I might have to try other flavors at some point, but the way they're all mixed on the same counter, I find distasteful, even if it is scraped clean after every one.
They have a little tip bowl. If you tip them, they break into song (store policy, apparently). Scott says he tips them just to make them sing. This is likely the point. However, my response is that I would be hideously uncomfortable tipping them, even if they earned it, because I would not want them to sing. It's too...I dunno. Something. A tip is supposed to be a tip, not a performance.
