I Ordered Two Soft Serve Cones but Received Three

For some reason, I ordered two soft serves at Macca's for me and my friend and there was two soft serve cones printed on my receipt and when my order's ready, I saw the worker took out three cones and filled all three of them. I do not know whether this is an error as it shows two soft serves on my receipt but shows three on the actual order. Please feel free to post some of your opinions on if it's a mistake or not.

    Perhaps someone was retroactively hiding an ice cream on your order.

  • +3

    In my opinion it was a mistake.

    Or did they give the third one to someone else?

    It's a new offer. Buy 2 get 1 free. I'll post it as a deal soon.

      At Macca's, where's the deal? They say I have to show them.

    You should have told the store they made a mistake and then asked the manager to give you another free one like every store apparently should when they make a mistake

      You thought right! 😉

      Oh… yeah it was but at least it was entertaining!!

    • Came here just to say that… Wtf

    • Top comment for sure. This is ridiculous

  • +11

    Under new OHS guidelines,soft serve cones can only be filled to 2 thirds capacity, hence 3 cones, but only sufficient soft serve for two. I presume you returned the third cone when empty.

    You take one free ice cream today, you come back tomorrow, McDonald's is closed down.

      eh, just make soft serves cost 80 cents

      BOHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! LEGEND!

    I can't believe the OP thought this was worthy of a question or a forum topic …

      At least it was short, unlike the protein bar saga.

    • I can't believe everyone is wasting their time commenting on here so the topic goes to the frontpage so more people can waste their time commenting.
      Damn, I also got sucked in.

      you got a problem?

      • +7

        I have. Just ordered three cones from Macca’s, one for me, one for the missus, and one for the kid strapped in the baby seat. Problem is, the checkout gave me four cones and now the spare one is melting all down the missus’ arm and onto her jeans and she’s screaming at me as if it’s my fault. Even the kid has started bawling. It’s hell in here. Who’s fault is it? Who can I blame? Guys, help me out.

    Humblebrag post?

    It's like the baker's dozen. Because of repeated complaints to ACCC and Fair Trading about McDonald's under-filling soft serve cones, they introduced a new regulation that failing to provide the necessary or advertised quantity of a good in trade or commerce by fast food establishments now attracts a penalty of $2,500 per infraction.

    Because of that, to be on the safe side McDonald's have started to give an extra of the items on the menu which had the most recorded complaints, including soft serve cones.

    • well, this is not the first time this happened before

      In that Monopoly at Macca's event. I won small fries but got large instead and that got me another two tickets.

      or is it that the buy two, get one free thing is a trend.

      OP is asking Hungry Jacks for his invoice despite getting the ice cream from Maccas. He plans to claim TRS on the excess ice cream cone.

      • At least he's not harassing baby bunting this time round

  • +12

    I once ordered a maccas medium meal and got a large chips with it.

    This was in the early 00's and to this day I am still haunted by not knowing whether it is a mistake or not.

    I guess the only resolution for people in our position is the sweet release of death.

    • +5

      You should create a new post about it. I'm waiting

    Take one back and ask for a refund. Then you will get your original order for half price

  • +2

    Hmmm….I often get 7 wicked wings when ordering 6 and exactly 3 when ordering 3 at KFC. What will happen if I were to order 10? Will they give me 9, to make up for all the times I got an extra free wicked wing? What would happen then? Would I invoke my consumer rights and threaten to contact Fair Trading and the ACCC? Or would I just accept my fate and be content that I have wicked wings to eat? Those thoughts often keeps me up at night.

      Don’t waste your time with fair trading or ACCC. Go straight to the prime minister.

        Anus reply > That's a bloody outrage

    So who ate the third cone, you or your friend and how did you decide who would eat it?

      The answer is in another post.

      • My friend ate the third soft serve. Should I take him to small claims?

        Hopefully in another forum.

    • we rock paper scissors for it

    No one cares about your three cones. That's just an anomaly.

    It's when you get 7 mcnuggets in your 6 mcnugget pack that that is worth creating a post about.

    Come back when that momentous event happens to you, OP.

  • +1

    Thought the cones were had before a late night Maccas run.

  • +5

    I'm only commenting to bring this important announcement to the front page.

  • The server has a crush on you, have you yh extra icecream to show their interest.

  • This is an outrage.

    File a complaint with the ACCC.

    • It's only one thing that is only worth 70 cents. It's not like it affects the whole franchise or anything.

      • +1

        Then why did you feel it was worthy of a forum topic?

      • i thought you said 80c?

    • They don't want Mr McDonald to go to jail or anything

  • It could be a deal!

      No the jokes on you,

      The manager said clean out the machine, its been in there too long, so the staff member took the easy way out and dumped the excess into your order…

      Hang on for the result…

    Thanks for stirring my coffee. I walked into a Macca's in France just to meet somebody. Big mistake trying my school French. They made small meat out of me and forced to pay for 2 and sequentially served 2 coffees. Lucky my acquaintance arrived helping me drinking the other one. Quality staff, quality attitude!

  • Just accept the extra soft serve and eat it happily.

  • ffs

  • Welcome to the roaring twenties

  • You're going to hell if you took the extra one without saying anything. Sorry.

  • Tried this with a family feast meal and it worked! Thanks OP!
