So, this is the reason I asked in Off-Topic what the procedure was with the soft-serve cones at the fast-food place with the King. That, and what happened was just...unbelievable, I know that I couldn't believe that what I saw had happened, but it did.
I think that this goes here - if not, mods feel free to move it.
I was done with work, and stopped for lunch. I noticed that they had some work going on - the menu board was removed, and was on the floor next to the counter. Signs were up saying that they were closing later that afternoon to put up new 'interactive' menu signs.
I placed my order and was waiting at the counter, watching the employees. I watched as one of them was preparing a soft-serve cone for the drive-through. She pulled out the cone from its dispenser, and looked inside of it.
She then tipped it over on the soft serve machine drain, and something came out of the cone. Definitely metallic - it made a soft *clang* when it hit the metal drain grid. It looked like maybe it was a screw.
OK, I thought, she's going to trash the cone now, right?
If she did, I wouldn't be making this post, or checking to see if this was odd. She then proceeded to tip the cone right-side up, fill it with soft serve, and hand it to the drive-through.
I admit I didn't say anything, and knowing what I know now, I should have, I just was so shocked and surprised over it. I definitely checked my food over thoroughly before eating. After, all I could think of was eww...not just that there was a piece of metal in a cone, and I'm glad that the main piece came out, but what if shavings were still in the bottom of that cone that didn't?
