Cone-ing gone wrong(Come for the cone-ing,stay for the....)

it may be mcdonald's, and mcdonald's may have shitty food, but this is that guy's job, and his entire professional world. Having people come in daily to shit on him in countless ways and here in this case disrespect his product must push him to the edge at some point.
I'm sure that sounds ridiculous to most, but really, everyone who works for a living deserves a minimum amount of respect, and stupidity like this is completely demeaning to some, while seemingly harmless to everyone else.

WHo the fuck in their right mind is calling the manager a douche? Fuck that shit, if I see a camera in your car filming and see you reach for the ice cream instead of the cone, I'm gonna be like "What the fuck?" And if I know what cone-ing is I would do exactly what he did.
It's not even close to funny, not that I think it's a serious offense, it's just that as a joke or prank, it's not funny. More like waste of time.

Lol, I swear I get this joke at least once a day. I just laugh and tell them it doesn't work that way.Ferrio said:

McDs does car detailing now?
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.

McDs in making money, they probably wouldnt consider that a waste, the customers however...

The manager did exactly what I would have done in that situation. That is just pretty awesome.
Just *love* the people defending the girl.
Yes you paid for the cone, but that doesn't give you free reign to disrespect the employees. And yes, you're disrespecting them.
1. You're making a mess on the counter/drive thru.
2. You're filming them at their work to post on youtube for people to laugh at (without their permission mind you)
3. You're taking up their time when they could be serving people wanting to actually eat their food.
If you wanna manhandle your icecream that's fine, just drive away and do it in your own fucking car. Dipshits.

I don't see why the manager would have been pissed off, the ice cream was already paid for and what they do with it is not his business.
He ain't working at no Michelin starred restaurant its just fucking McDonalds so I find it hard to believe maybe he takes "pride" in the food, enough that he is willing to throw away food that a customer has paid for.
Now I'm not for coning, I think its dumb but hes no more the good guy here than the people in the car. What a dick.

His anger probably stems from having to deal with these "pranks" on a regular basis. And who cares that he works for McDonald's? He still deserves to be treated with respect, same as all fast food employees. It's shitty, low-paying and thankless work, and having to deal with these kinds of assholes is just one more hassle.
Anyone feeling like this is going to be a retread of that "5 minutes before closing" topic?

This. People don't realize that the things they do make it harder for other people.
"HAHAHA let's take this ball and throw it around the store knocking stuff over and then ride skateboards everywhere."
Kids get in trouble with worker
"We're just having fun, gawwhhhh [say mean things about the worker and leave]
Worker cleans up mess
It's the same thing in fast food places except different circumstances I'm sure
Ferrio said:
I didnt know you had to be respectful to eat at mcdonalds, I must have been eating at a different establishment all this time...
1. Not really, considering they usually hand the items to you, you dont reach in the drivethru window to grab your food.
2. Welcome to 2011
3. Again, if we want efficient service, letting her just grab the stupid icecream and chucking the cone takes all of 2 seconds, standing there threatening the customer about something that you would in all likelihood lose your job over is pretty stupid, and anything but efficient.
Ultimately the chick straight up bitched out to weak threat that would never have happened.
SolKane said:
The majority of the mess will be in the customers hands/car and in the drivethru, yeah the poor employee might actually have to wash their hands and wipe up a few drops of vanilla, boohoo, Im sure its the least of their worries as far as clean ups go.
SolKane said:
I would say they are disrespecting the food rather the manager and I've worked at McDonalds you just hand people their food and be done with it. It's not as if these kids were mocking the manager or making fun in a cruel way or with the intent to.
I don't see how its a hassle to deal with numerous people who are coning since it requires no extra effort on their workday to deal with them since, once again they are simply handing food to them.
The fact that he threatens to shove ice cream into her face is also a bit extreme.
Joates said:
So it's OK in your book to treat people who work at McDonald's disrespectfully? If that's how you sincerely feel fine, and I applaud you for being honest about it.
It's extra work that would not have to be done if not for some jackass. I don't know about you, but I don't like having to do extra work just so some random person can take the piss.

I'm on the manager's side here. Sure she's hot and she already paid for the cone but it's time people stand up against shit 'pranks' like these. Coneing was never funny.
edit: lol joates sounds like he does this shit a lot. move on to the next fad dude, this one's dying down.

Gosh, why do you think that if you work for minimum wage you're entitled to personal respect and basic human dignity? What's with you?
Even if you don't make a big deal out of it. People drive by, and do something completely unnecessary. What you want to do on your own time (in other words, after you take the cone and drive off) is your business. If I were in the cashier position... Pulling up and "cone-ing" is a waste of my time because it is completely unnecessary.Joates said:
And again, not funny.
SolKane said:
Again, threatening to shove a cone in someones face was by far the most disrespectful part of the video, or do you think two wrongs make a right?
If you get bent out of shape over the "extra work" wiping off a counter that likely hasnt been cleaned all day and takes all of two seconds, then I doubt you do your job that well to begin with.

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.
WanderingWind said:
I wonder what Corporate would say about shoving cones in coners face. Im sure they would view that as the most respectful thing to do.
Unfortunately, when you work at mcds, its your job to satisfy the customer because its a fucking service.
Basically what youre saying is, if you feel disrespected, its only appropriate to to lower yourself to their level, sounds like a very respectable way to carry yourself, albeit a tad hypocritical.
Joates said:
It might be a "change up" at first but when it becomes a regular phenomenon I bet you wouldn't be happy to deal with it then.
I never said I agreed with the manager's threat. I understand his attitude because he probably deals with this stuff constantly, but I don't condone what he said.
It's not about the extra work in and of itself, just this attitude that you have the right to come by a place of business and act like it's your own personal space to do whatever you want. These kinds of stunts only inconvenience the people there working to make a living.

...still missing the point, with a side of false pretenses! Guess what? Nobody actually got a cone shoved anywhere! At all! So stop saying that!
And you're being twice as ridiculous with they "it's your job to satisfy the customer" shit. No, it's fucking not your job to allow the "customer" to do whatever the fuck they want. How absurd.

I don't understand why people at these drive thru's get so angry when people do this? The people doing it get their own hands dirty. They act like they're the ones with ice cream left on their hands or something. I've seen lots of videos of teller's getting legitimately annoyed though I don't see why they should.
WanderingWind said:
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?
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?
