Godiva giveth and Godiva taketh away

Today, I took a rare day off after learning of a Godiva chocolate factory not that far from us. I checked out the website, got the hours, and drove over 25 miles with my wife to get there, only to find out it's for vendors, staff, and their families only. FML

OP here - the place is like Fort Knox. Many levels of security but everyone was polite. Tried my best to con our way in but no luck.

This is when you settle for a big-ass bag of Hershey chocolates and try to convince your wife you’re not a loser, man.

It's a factory, not a shop. They can't have just anyone stop by.

I'm confused how is 25 miles far? That is what 30 min max one way? I guess i'm use to texas where you can drive hrs before you need to get somewhere. But that does suck that you got your excitement busted when you got there.

It's not really. My commute to work is roughly 25 miles.

Did they say that they had tours at that location? Most factories are for vendors workers and family of those people I'm not sure why you would just show up expecting them to let you walk around and give you a tour . Even if they did list the tour I would call ahead to make sure they're still offering it and to check the hours.
