What I’m understanding is that the order is placed, meaning it’s in checkout. But he’s not actually fulfilling it, meaning he didn’t ordered/paid for ice creams for real.
Someone on Twitter also mentioned ice cream orders don't actually get filled until you arrive at the restaurant (which does make sense), providing an extra fail-safe for this.
I’m not sure if it’s a regular request, or so regular that it’s automatic, but in France, if you order an eat-in meal with ice cream, they don’t make the ice cream until you come back to the counter with your receipt and request it.
