Ethics and Ice Cream

[oakenguy]

I went over to the Pru for Ben & Jerry's Free Cone Day. When I got there I saw a line, but at the end of the line there was this clot of people eating from cones, and it wasn't clear where the line actually began.

ME: Is this the line?

WOMAN EATING CONE: Yup.

ME: But...you're already eating?

WEC: The rules just say you can only have one cone *at a time*.



I've been going to these for the last 3 years, and this NEVER OCCURRED TO ME. I still can't decide--greedy? Or brilliant?

I'd still object on the grounds that free cone day was intended to be "free cone" not "free stuff your face."

This. Exactly.

Heh. Yes. On the walk back to the office I was thinking "there's a reason it's not 'Free ConeS Day'."
