I posted this pic a few days ago thinking it was a random scene, but aparently the these young douchebags were having what's known as a "potato party" and caused all kinds of hell for the custys and employees at a South Korea McDonald's. I'm giving a worker there a Retail Balls Award for ending the torment and throwing this group out!
From Huff Po: Ever wonder what $250 worth of McDonald's french fries looks like? Great news. Thanks to a bunch of kids in South Korea, you can stop wondering.
A sale on fries at the fast food chain inspired a group of kids to order a ridiculous amount of them, according to the website Rocket News 24. Their order was so massive, in fact, that the kids took over multiple tables at the restaurant with fries covering every inch of available space.
The french fry party may have been funny for those involved, but it appears to have peeved off the eatery's other customers, whose food was delayed. The kids got so rambunctious, that a fed up worker ended up telling all of the kids to leave, according to Rocket News.
McDonald's did not respond to The Huffington Post's immediate request for comment Wednesday night.
Apparently, "potato parties" are quite trendy at McDonald's restaurants across Asia. The low price of fries in Japan recently led to hordes of students descending on McDonald's and ordering massive amounts of fries as well. At said potato parties, attendees are required to eat all of the fries before leaving, according to the Japan Daily Press.
One group of kids in Japan purchased a total of 60 large orders of fries, according to Kotaku. (In case you're counting, that's 30,000 calories worth.)

May they have problems with obesity, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol

Well, at least they're required to eat everything and not be wasteful.

I love me some Mickey D's fries, but even with a bunch of people helping me I don't think I could eat my share of all those fries.

It would be so ironic if one of these countries started having an obesity epidemic, because of this.

At least they're not gallon smashing.

@Not Perfect seriously. I don't get the outrage here. Maybe if they dumped the food on the tables or something, but they're clearly using trays - even if they waste the food, they paid for it and aren't leaving a mess.

If this is considered troublesome behavior in Asia, let's hope these workers never have to deal with a bus full of old, cranky entitled American tourists.

I like fries and all but this is just ridiculous.
Posted by: The Last Archimedean | Tuesday, March 05, 2013 at 02:15 AM
At least this proves it isn't only Americans that do stupid, pointless shit.

It seems to me that they're doing this because they're poor students who can't afford a lot of good food. So like the kid who eats Ramen noodles for every meal, for them it's fries. I actually feel sorry for them.
