McDonald's fans shocked to see customer go behind counter to make his own McFlurry: ‘He has no right'
But one customer decided to take matters into his own hands when his McFlurry wasn't mixed properly.
LADBible recently posted a clip with 1.4 million likes that showed a customer asking a McDonald's employee if the mixer wasn't working after receiving his McFlurry.

Rather than letting it be and moving on with his unmixed McFlurry, the patron walked around the counter, into the kitchen and straight to the mixer.
When he mixed his own McFlurry, the machine seemed to work and mixed up the Oreos with the ice cream as the customer wished.
The whole debacle sparked debate, with some defending the customer's overstep and accusing the McDonald's employee of lying.
'Probably close to closing, and it was already deep cleaned, so they didn't want to clean it again and lied about it,' one claimed.
'Y'all act like the mixer touches the ice cream… it literally mixes with the spoon. That lady just straight lied,' another wrote.
'Why is McDonalds always lying about the Ice Cream machines'? one questioned.
However, many others argued that there was likely a valid reason the employee said the machine wasn't working.
'Sometimes, this is worker code for 'I can't in good conscience use it on your food,'' one person said.

'I worked at McDonald's for years. If an employee tells you something isn't working, please trust them,' an apparent former Golden Arches employee emphasized. 'We told people that every day for their own safety! Those machines go MONTHS without being cleaned!'
'Regardless of whether the machine was working or not, he has no right to go behind the counter and do it himself,' another pointed out.

Sorority girls say this Greek tradition gave them the best sleep of their lives — why it worked
You may want to rush to try this one out. With the new school year underway for colleges in the South and Midwest, #rushtok has taken over many a TikTok feed — and has some former sorority girls reminiscing about their unusual sleeping arrangements. While 'cold rooms' might not look like the most comfortable place to catch some Z's, several ex Kappas, Deltas and other letters of the Greek alphabet insist it's where they got some of the best sleep of their lives. So-called 'cold rooms' are common at sororities and fraternities at some universities. Filled with bunk beds, they look somewhat similar to hostels (pictured) — though they're kept super cold and dark at all times. skyNext – Cold rooms — also called cold dorms or sleeping porches — are rooms in frats or sorority houses that are filled with lots of bunk beds, similar to military barracks. According to House Beautiful, they're common at schools like Indiana University, Purdue University and the University of Washington. Designated for sleeping only, they are typically kept dark — think blackout curtains and minimal lighting — and at super low temperatures, with the AC turned way up. They can usually be found in attics, basements or enclosed porches. 'It's basically one big room that's really cold, really dark, and filled with bunk beds,' Jade, a Kappa Kappa Gamma at Perdue, explained on TikTok. 'You were assigned a bed and you made it the coziest little spot — you make it so dark and cozy that you wanna skip all of your 7:30s and if you were me, you did.' Jamie, another Kappa Kappa Gamma, said the lights were never turned on in hers. Unsurprisingly, quite a few commenters on TikTok have been unimpressed with the photos they've seen, with one comparing them to 'orphanages you would see in movies based in the early 1900s.' 'No amount of wanting to fit in could get me to sleep in there,' wrote another, while a third chimed in: 'This sounds like pure torture.' But from those who have actually slept in them, there seems to be never-ending praise, with several calling it 'the best sleep ever' and 'the best sleep of my life.' 'Cold room was the BEST! Soundest sleep I ever had. Mine was right by the window and I loved everything about it,' wrote one. 'Man, I miss the sleeping porch,' added another. 'It was so cold in there, my bed was so snuggly, quiet naps any time of day… the best.' One woman 'would do anything to have another sleeping porch nap.' So what exactly makes the sleep so good? According to Dr. Dennis Auckley, Director of Center for Sleep Medicine for MetroHealth, there are 'definitely some upsides to this type of sleeping arrangement' — especially the cold temps and darkness. Former sorority girls say they got the best sleep ever while sleeping in cold dorms. CQ-Roll Call, Inc via Getty Images 'Sleep should ideally take place in a cool environment. This is because the brain and our core body temperature need to decrease to help facilitate sleep,' he told The Post. 'Cooler environments generally enhance deep, or slow-wave, sleep, which is the most restorative state.' You also want a dark environment, he said: 'Many of these cold air dorms use blackout curtains to keep it very dark. That is good and will help facilitate sleep.' He also noted possible psychological benefits of communal sleeping, like feelings of inclusion and safety. There are, though, some downsides, like noise — from people coming and going, alarms going off, or someone snoring — or lights being turned on. 'These will fragment sleep and lead to poor overall quality of sleep, and potentially shortened sleep duration,' he said. 'In addition, if some individuals come to the cold dorm bed and stay on their phones (doing whatever), creating light distractions, this can interfere with the sleep of others. Sleep quality aside, a large number of people spending hours together in close quarters can also increase the risk of spreading respiratory infections, especially viruses like the flu. If you want to replicate the magic of a cold dorm at home — without the potential downsides — Auckley says you're in luck. These factors all contribute to a good night's sleep.

Expert warns against harmful landscaping trend that is becoming more prevalent: 'Common mistake'
One TikToker is digging into a popular landscaping trend and revealing how it could actually be doing more harm than good to your trees. In a video, TikToker Will, who goes by Bird Man Will (@ points out a common mistake people make when mulching around trees: piling mulch directly up against the trunk. His simple tip? Don't do this. "Common mistake in landscaping," the user said in the caption of the video. In the video, Will explains how the way roots grow can change when covered in mulch, functionally cutting off the oxygen and nutrient supply to the tree. The term "volcano mulching" refers to the piling up of mulch against the trunk of a tree, creating a volcano-shaped mound and encouraging the roots of trees to grow into the nutrient-rich mulch, eventually hurting or killing the tree by encircling it and cutting off the circulation of water and nutrients. Trees play a vital role in our communities, especially in urban and suburban neighborhoods. Access to healthy, mature trees has been linked to lower temperatures, reduced stress, and even improved student performance in schools. Fortunately, there are healthier, more sustainable ways to care for your yard. Decisions can include growing trees with proper care or replacing parts of your lawn with eco-friendly, low-maintenance alternatives. Even a partial lawn replacement can cut water bills, reduce upkeep, and help your landscape thrive. Users who interacted with the video affirmed the information, speaking about the ways they've seen this problem. "I help plant some in the community and we always leave a ring around the trunk to not be right up on it," one user commented. "I worked grounds at a university and my boss would yell at us if we covered tree roots," one user commented. "Really surprising that a landscape manager made this mistake."

Boeing plane makes emergency landing after engine bursts into flames: ‘I already sent goodbye texts'
A Condor Airlines flight was forced to make an emergency landing after the plane's engine had burst into flames shortly after takeoff — prompting one terrified passenger to send out 'goodbye texts' to loved ones. The Boeing 757 carrying 273 passengers and 8 crew members from Corfu, Greece to Düsseldorf, Germany experienced a turbine airflow disruption at an altitude of approximately 36,000 feet during the flight Saturday, per WDR. Terrified passengers aboard flight DE 3665 began to notice flames spitting from the right wing of the plane just after 8 p.m. local time, Bild reported. 4 A Condor Airlines flight was forced to make an emergency landing after the plane's engine had burst into flames shortly after takeoff. @corekvas/TikTok The flight made an emergency landing at Brindisi Airport in southern Italy, at 8:15 p.m. local time. The landing came just 40 minutes after takeoff, per FlightRadar24. A spokesperson for the airline told The Post the malfunction was caused by a chemical reaction that happened inside the combustion chamber. 'Suddenly, the power went out for a few seconds, and we realized we were no longer climbing,' one passenger told the outlet. 'It was an incredibly horrible experience. I already sent goodbye texts because I thought, 'It's over now,'' another added. The aircraft is currently undergoing a technical inspection. Unverified videos circulating on social media appeared to show the aircraft's right engine flash in flames during intervals. In one TikTok video, taken by a passerby in Italy, the jet could be heard making loud sound booms during the malfunction. 4 The Boeing 757 was carrying 273 passengers and 8 crew members from Corfu, Greece to Düsseldorf, Germany. @corekvas/TikTok 'I was just chilling…then realized a plane was literally fighting fire in front of me,' the clip was captioned. Following the impromptu landing, passengers and crew members were either placed in a hotel or spent the night at the airport before another aircraft took them to Germany the following morning. In a statement to The Post, the airline admitted that due to limited hotel availibility in Brindisi, some passengers were not accommodated in a hotel. 'Unfortunately, there was insufficient hotel capacity in Brindisi, meaning that not all guests could be accommodated in hotels,' the airline said. 4 Terrified passengers aboard flight DE 3665 began to notice flames spitting from the right wing of the plane just after 8 p.m. local time. @melinamelinakiii/TikTok 'Additional vouchers and blankets were organized at the airport, and a few shops were allowed to remain open to provide supplies. Passengers who took advantage of alternative accommodation options can submit their expenses for reimbursement.' Additionally, the airline said none of the people onboard the flight were ever 'in danger.' Start your day with all you need to know Morning Report delivers the latest news, videos, photos and more.
