Baskin Robbin's ice cream is supervision of the VKH or KVH (Masschusetts) and is to my knowledge reliable. The problem of BR store (not under indiviual supervision) are nonetheless present especially since not all ice creams are kosher. All other products are though as delineated by a sign in every store by the KVH.
Two Opinions:
Baskin Robbins ice cream is nationally certified kosher by the Vaad Hakashrut of Massachusetts, save a number of specific, mostly marshmallow-containing, flavors. To date, a small sign delineating these non-kosher flavors hangs on the glass frame of the ice cream counter. Provided that the ice cream scooper is rinsed by an employee prior to its use -- an action meant to ensure that no marshmallow residue seeps into a kosher ice cream flavor -- and the ice cream being served is indeed from Baskin Robbins, its kashrut is legitimate. http://www.yuobserver.com/vnews/display.v/ART/2005/04/14/425f105e65d2c
The cRc would like to take this opportunity to reiterate its policy and opinion regarding the purchase of ice cream from non kosher certified shops. Unless the shop is under a reliable hashgacha, no open product should be purchased without the consumer personally inspecting each item. Any ice cream must first be determined to be kosher and in some cases, the scoop must be first washed clean. Any other products purchased, such as cones, toppings, milk or any other additives, must also be inspected to determine if it is kosher. Asking the store attendant is not sufficient as they may not be aware of specific kosher regulations that may effect the kosher status of the item. As the average person may also not be aware of all of the kosher regulations, it is always preferable to only buy these products from shops under a reliable kosher supervision. http://www.kashrut.com/consumer/ice_cream/
Please ask your Rabbi for guidance as well as being aware when in store...
