COPPELL, Texas (AP) —
Trying desperately to perfect the
curly tip on a soft-serve cone,
Mark Cuban licked the remains
of another failed effort from his
fingertips and handed the messy
treat to an excited 3-year-old boy.
One lick later, the kid
dropped it.
That was about the only thing
that went wrong Wednesday
when the billionaire owner of
the Dallas Mavericks worked
two hours behind a Dairy
Queen counter, making good
on a promise to manage tne fast-
food restaurant.
The company’s offer came in
response to Cuban’s assertion
that he would not hire Ed Rush,
the NBA’s head of officiating,
“to manage a Dairy Queen.”
The league fined Cuban
u
It y s not everyday
you see a billionaire
serving burgers.
— Tony Newpower
customer
$500,000 for the comment, a
record for an individual. For
about $650,000, Cuban could’ve
bought a startup DQ franchise.
So, after doing the job him
self, does he still think Rush
could not do it?
“It depends on how he treats
the customers. That’s the hard
part,” Cuban said.
“Part of the point I was trying
to make with the NBA is that
you have to understand your
customers and learn to get bet
ter as a business.”
Cuban, fined more than $1
million by the NBA in the two
years since he bought the team,
praised his boss-for-a-day, store
owner Parrish Chapman, and
took another shot at the league.
“I’d love to send Parrish up
to the NBA to have him give
them a lesson in exactly how to
communicate,” Cuban said.
“When anybody needed to in
teract with Parrish, he was
right there to answer the ques
tions. That’s the way you run a
business. If Parrish just went
up there and just took a look,
we’d be a lot better off.”
Cuban’s presence created a
carnival atmosphere at the sub
urban Dairy Queen and drew
more than 1,000 people, many
waiting close to an hour to place
their order. The crush was so
big the restaurant ran out of ice.
“It was worth the wait,”
Tony Newpower said. “It’s not
often you see a billionaire serv
ing burgers.”
Wearing a navy denim shirt,
a manager’s name tag and car
rying a pencil in his right shirt
pocket, Cuban actually spent
more time signing autographs
than taking orders.
But he did take his temporary
job seriously. He arrived at 6
a.m., after flying home from a
Mavericks game in Atlanta, and
began training by 6:30.
Kim Skeffington, a regional
field consultant whose duties
include working with new' man
agers, spent about twm hours
teaching him the finer points of
curling soft serves and mixing a
frozen dessert.
James Kelly, w ho w r aited about
two hours to be first in line, or
dered a strawberry version of the
dessert — w'hich Skeffington
made — then had Cuban sign a
novelty $1 million bill.
Cuban’s first cone for a cus
tomer looked squished on top.
“Be patient w'ith me, please.
I’m new at this,” he said with a
wink and a smile. “It might not
be pretty^ but it works.”
Lured by a “Mark Cuban
Here Today” sign, customers
were treated to inflatable play
areas for children, portable
basketball hoops for kids and
adults and more than a dozen
TV and radio stations broad
casting live. One station even
sent its helicopter.
The line snaked around the
building and up the street, with
cars filling several vacant fields.
Order w"as maintained even
though only a few customers
were allowed in at a time. It
probably helped that the store
gave away free ice cream bars.
