Anthony Cumia: New rules for "TEENS" at McDonald's

Added: 2026-06-02

[00:00:15]Let's see what else is going on, though.

[00:00:17]That was cringe. That was very cringeworthy.

[00:00:20]Oh, boy. Hey, uh you fan of uh McDonald's?

[00:00:25]You like your McDonald's?

[00:00:28]Um, I remember another memory from my pissy eyed youth was uh uh mom and dad deciding uh we weren't cooking. They were mom wasn't cooking or something and uh maybe dad got home late from work.

[00:00:51]Uh and then we'd all decide to to We wouldn't decide. We're kids. We're just along for the [ __ ] ride. Uh McDonald's. We're going to McDonald's and uh it was right on Jericho Turnpike close to to where we lived and it was just amazing. Oh, the thought we were going to get McDonald's hamburgers and fries and a vanilla shake. That's that was all I needed.

[00:01:19]And uh it was great. We'd go in. We wouldn't go through the drive-thru. We'd go in and sit at a table. Uh, and and it was great. It was great. When you ordered, it was just you could not imagine the person behind the counter not being the most pleasant, courteous, helpful person with that little paper McDonald's hat. Hi, welcome to McDonald's. May I help you? And they meant it.

[00:01:54]And then you'd give your order, you know, everything. You they would bring it to you and you'd go to your table and then they they they went with the the soda machine.

[00:02:06]Here's your cup. Clunk.

[00:02:09]Let me hit the picture of the drink on the cash register because I'm much too [ __ ] to know what numbers. Oh, this has a price. I don't know. I'm I'm now I'm out. There's a number there. We aren't proficient in math, so I don't know. That's what you get now. Back then, they knew. And you could give them that dime with the, you know, with the dollar10.

[00:02:39]They would know what it meant.

[00:02:42]Oh god. Oh, that's $925.

[00:02:48]Oh. Oh, okay. Here's a 10 and 25. What?

[00:02:52]I don't know.

[00:02:55]So, uh, they would give you the beverage. The the the beverage machine was behind the counter. And then they figured, well, why don't we put the beverage thing outside, not outside, but in the the dining area.

[00:03:10]And that's one less thing the retards have to do while they're hitting pictures of the various food items on the cash register.

[00:03:19]Uh, so they did that and this works on the honor system.

[00:03:26]You paid for your medium Coke and they give you a medium cup and they're expecting you to go to the drink machine and get a medium Coke and sit down and that's it.

[00:03:42]But, uh, since the machine is out there, uh, people have decided that they're just going to grab their own [ __ ] drink thing, a cup out of the garbage.

[00:03:53]Seen that happen. And then they're just going to take it. Or they go to the counter and ask for water. Can I have a cup for water? And then they give them the cup. And then they get soda with it.

[00:04:05]And uh, they're stealing.

[00:04:10]And because nothing can be done because the small percentage of people from for the most part a single community are doing this. You you you look and go, "Oh yeah, we can't criticize them. We can't uh uh we can't arrest them. We can't ban them from the store. That's we'd be horrible racists."

[00:04:36]Maybe he's hungry. Maybe it's for his kids.

[00:04:40]Yeah, sure. So, uh because of that they have to treat everyone like criminal.

[00:04:47]Everyone has to be treated like they are untrustworthy, dishonest, ready to steal from you.

[00:04:56]And that's the way we have to live our lives now. That's why everything's locked up at the pharmacy. and uh any any of the honor system conveniences, they put in the selfch checkouts at Target and Walmart and all these other places. Uh uh supermarkets for food shopping. They put those in and then they're like, "Yeah, we can't use these because there is an element of the honor system and there are some people that have no honor and everyone has to now be treated like they are dishonorable people because you cannot possibly criticize the wondrous people that are doing the stealing."

[00:05:39]So McDonald's um they've decided to end the selfs served soda machines. There you go. You can't you can't get your own soda now. Uh the the free refills, whatever it all that is gone because certain people cannot function in a society and need to steal and they have no honor. Uh, so everyone has to be treated like that. Here it is.

[00:06:09]A little story on McDonald's ending their selfs serve. Who's this [ __ ] >> McDonald's is phasing out selfs serve fountain drink stations according to our sister station in KTLA. They tell them that quote, "We will be transitioning away from selfs serve beverage stations in dining rooms across the US by 2032.

[00:06:31]This change is intended to create a consistent experience for both customers and crews across all ordering points, whether that's McLely, the app, kiosk, drive-thru, or in restaurant. Now, some McDonald's have already started to remove them, and customers have had to go to the counter to ask for a refill.

[00:06:53]>> Yeah. Notice the excuses they give. I think what what the uh what the story is they're saying well customers customers uh habits have changed the way customers uh utilize certain things uh with the internet and customer habits have changed and it's black people stealing.

[00:07:24]Can we just blurt that out? Is that allowed?

[00:07:32]And of course, I've seen white people usually like a real scummy homeless white guy. He's all decrepit and he's trying to get [ __ ] from the soda machine. I see that. But the consistent thing that you see is uh black guys and black girls going up there not paying for it. Here's a a great example of why they're phasing this out.

[00:08:04]Ask for a water cup. He gets a little my orange soda.

[00:08:17]There you go. He gets a water cup and they know what he's doing. The people behind the counter know what he's doing.

[00:08:26]And if they call him out, he starts [ __ ] It's a big [ __ ] thing. People get arrested. They get fired, they get dead, it's just not worth it. So, they just hand him the water cup knowing he's going there and not getting a cup of water.

[00:08:46]And uh you know, this happens over the course of thousands and thousands of McDonald's restaurants. It adds up and they look at their books and they go, "Oh boy, we are losing money on this [ __ ] soda shit." They count all of it. They know exactly how many bags of soda and this and that. Everything is figured out and they look and go, "Every year we just see our soda profits going down."

[00:09:23]And uh and then they see videos like that. They know why. They know why. And they could fix it.

[00:09:31]Maybe banning people from the store. Whites only signs like the old water fountains.

[00:09:39]Now it's uh soda fountains. Whites only soda fountain. I don't know. But uh McDonald's isn't the only place. You know, I recently played that clip of Wendy's where they're building a brand new Wendy's and it doesn't have a dining room inside.

[00:09:57]You order with your phone or through a little window and they throw the food at you when you're done. Don't come inside.

[00:10:06]That's, you know, an experience for people from the past. If you remember, like I did, one of the few nice moments with mom and dad at McDonald's.

[00:10:20]Dad smoking his taron, flicking his ashes in that tiny McDonald's aluminum foil ashtray.

[00:10:31]Son of a [ __ ] And uh yeah, little time at McDonald's with the family. Well, now order through the [ __ ] bank window and uh stay out because there's a small certain segment of our society, a community that is [ __ ] everything up for everyone.

[00:10:59]That's just what it is. People are so petrified to call them out on their shitty behavior.

[00:11:07]It's easier for them to make to lock away things to make everybody have to be treated like they are criminals that are going to steal from the store. They know. They know when people walk in and they look and go, "All right, they're fine. we would never have to lock up our our merchandise if everyone was like that. But then other people walk in and they go, "Oh, this is why the merchandise is locked up." Um, it's easy. I'll consult every store. I will consult every store and I will give them a dossier of the people that you shouldn't let in your store. I'll be 100%.

[00:11:54]I would be 100% on uh on uh who should not be allowed to come into your store.

[00:12:03]But uh can't do that. Can't do that.
