Speaking of false pretenses, did a "cone-ing" occur here?

If I recall correctly, he threatened it as she was reaching for the cone. So he may not have shoved the cone in her face but he did threaten to do it...

She never threatened to do anything, she merely tried to take the food from him in a manner that he did not approve of.

Oh so youre saying the customer cant do whatever they want with the food they purchased as long as its not harming anyone?

...yeah, the video and the giggling were just incidental. As was the thread title. And the entire premise we're discussing this over. They were definitely not going to do anything. Right.

If identifying the threat of shoving a cone in her face as a false pretense merely because it didnt happen the same should apply to the coneing, or you can accept the fact that theyre both douchebags and probably should have just exchanged numbers at the window rather than icecream.

Regardless though, direct threats should not trump circumstantial evidence as far as "false pretenses" go.

If as a manager, I see someone sitting at a booth stuffing their face full of fries and dropping some on the floor(you know making one of those messes that I just cant fucking stand as a mcds employee) , can I tell them to eat more civilized or Ill shove the fries right down your throat?

Im pretty sure I know how youd react...

I was referring to you shoving fries down said mans throat before angrily cleaning up the spilled fries.

If they're doing on the specific purpose of making a mess and a scene, yes you can tell them to leave.

Why not just edit my post with a "fixed" if this is your response. Because I would have had no problem with the manager not giving the cone to the patron and issuing a refund.

Threatening the customer is whats fucked up about this, no one seems to care though.

That said, the customer should have called the managers bluff.

Big deal, he threated to give them an ice cream facial. Wish he had.

Video would have been about 1000x more entertaining. Id like to see him threaten a guy with that and see the response...

I would have dared him to shove the cone in my face...

About as much sense as shoving an icecream cone in a "coners" face...

Which, you know, didn't actually happen. So, at what point do we stop using pretend things in our arguments?

If thats how you want to play, you realize Nothing happened in the video, so why are you here?

To defend managers from disrespectful customers? Do you ever find time to sleep at night?

However he did threaten to shove a cone in her face, but it doesnt matter cause he didnt do it right?

But in the same breathe you defend the manager from the "coners" whom never "coned" anything, logic fail much?
 
I am sure this cone-ing fad is annoying as fuck for all the McDonalds drive-thru workers.

They are getting paid shitty and hate their job already, then they have to deal with all these childish fuckwads trying to get some reaction out of them by doing stupid shit.

Sure it's a "harmless" prank but a lot of times it makes a mess that the employees have to clean up afterwards.

...yeah, now you're just being absurd. You're making up scenarios ranging from what would happen if he had, to creepy little scenarios involving me, to hilarious tough guy "I woulda dared him" crap. Any paticular reason why the reality of the situation isn't enough for you?

And yeah, the attitudes that because he worked at McDonald's he just has to suck up whatever shit people throw his ways is disturbing. As you said earlier, you support that, so we're probably not going to agree on that point. Probably because I tend to not look down on other people because of their jobs.

The Reality of the situation is that they were attempting to pull off a dumb prank.

The manager did not like the looks of things which he decided to handle in the best way he knew how, threatening to shove the cone in the customers face, youve shown no qualms with this, so perhaps you think the customer deserves this treatment. Me, I think it may be a bit extreme and dare I say disrespectful to the customer.

Now the conclusion is where I really lose you. The customers relented to threats of the manager and did not actually "cone" him, which they had every intent to do. Seems like a pretty respectful thing to do to someone who just threatened to shove your own cone in your face.

But you keep defending ridiculous threats to customers...


I assume youll continue your broken record response with "he never shoved a cone in her face" which does absolutely nothing to address my points and is merely a redirect because you have no logical response.

Ah, I see the problem. You mistook me for somebody else! Man, my bad. Since I never actually defended his "threat" I'm going to go ahead and assume you just skimmed through my responses. No worries, you had important things to say! Nobody blames you for not reading...but hey, next time go ahead and do that and we can avoid these little embarrassments.

At no point did you defend the actions of the manager because mean people were "disrespecting" him via coning? News to me.

If you werent defending the manager, why the hell were you responding to my posts?


I know you accused me of not reading your posts, but maybe you should try...

WanderingWind said:
You continue to miss the point. Just because he works at McDonald's it doesn't mean he has to eat whatever shit the "customer" throws his way. That's in no fucking way, shape or form disrespect. That's not being a bitch and allowing foolishness to happen at your expense.

So you were defending his use of the threat, just not defending the threat?

And its not disrespectful for him to threaten the customer, but the customers are somehow disrespecting him by complying with his request? Hmmmm...

Yeah, I know you're confused. Bolding your confusion won't really help that though.

Defending the guy, having some empathy does not equate to agreeing with every action he took. I really, really don't get what is so hard to understand there.

Edit: Your edit is fucking ridiculous. Reread that, please.

I reread it, and Im still viewing that as its not disrespectful to threaten to shove a cone in someones face, because you know, thats what happened in the op...

And yet youve failed to explain how the people in the OP actually disrespected the manager...

How are you still getting that? Honest question, is English your native tongue? I had these issues once before, but turns out the dude was speaking in his third language...lol.

No, man, that simply meant that the workers don't have to put up shit, just because they work at McD's. He definitely could've left that part out though, yeah? Are we good?
 
Coning is pretty stupid and as annoying as the driver and cameraman were, the manager was still in the wrong. They paid for their ice cream. They can waste it however they like.

I would agree but the act of coning can cause ice cream to get on the managers hands or drive thru.. grab the ice cream like an adult then play with your food.
 
Hard to see how the manager is "disrespected" if some dumbass grabs an ice cream cone by the ice cream. What a sensitive little bitch that manager is.
 
Why would you do that? said:
Why do people care so much how the ice cream is grabbed? It's pretty stupid to do coning, but I think it's even dumber to get mad about it.

Is there something I'm missing...?

100x this

let these morons think they're being funny. they grab icecream and get sticky/dirty, you throw out the leftover cone. wheres the harm?
 
I just texted my brother about this (he works at a McDonald's right now) and he said he hasn't had anyone pull this on him yet, but if they did he'd fling it into their car after they grabbed it.

Sounds about right.

I'll help. Why do you think these idiots don't video themselves grabbing the top of and ice cream cone in private with no one else on camera?
 
Joates said:
Anyways, I think the best way to do this "coneing" shit, would be to find a McDs like the one in said video, and effectively shut down the drive thru with coners.

Teach the dumbass manager to not make a mountain out of a molehill. Id love to see how they handle that. A lot of customers with ice cream facials and a manager looking for a new job.

What an excellent way to teach someone how not to make a mountain out of a molehill.

Do you read what you type?

Why? Who cares? I'd just laugh at the idiot that has to drive away with ice cream all over their hands. Nothing bad/embarrassing happens to the employee - they hand off by the cone and get paid as they normally would.

And get posted on YouTube in an attempt to get people to laugh at them.

It wouldn't bother me, but I can easily see why it would bother some, especially those whose life goal probably isn't working at McDonalds. I'm sure working the drive through isn't all that rewarding and being prank fodder certainly doesn't help.
 
MightyHealthy said:
Don't get me wrong, this is stupid...but "cone-ing" is not even close to the meanspiritedness of the average prank.

Hell, the prank in itself involves self-deprecation.

I think that the manager in the OP's video is more of a jerk than two young adults following a stupid trend to entertain themselves.

The newest fad sweeping the nation: wasting food.
 
lol, love it when these types of things fail. However on one hand my friend is forcing me to take pictures of her planking stuff, and I guess she said I have little say in if I do it or not... :/

The power women have sometimes I swear.
