I hope they sue him for every penny he's worth. Companies like McDonalds would never be able to achieve their high status if it were up to people like this. I think I might call McDonalds corporate just to let them know how steamed up I am over this

>>14222143
Based. I do sometimes.
>>14222160
People like that are very very likely to make me want to go back again and buy the same thing. Even if it's once every 5-8 times, it would ensure I would come back many times.

yeah, one time i went to mcdonald's and they fucked my order up and somebody somehow walked out with my bag and left theirs that had like two families worth of shit in it and they just gave me that bag instead. although immediately after offering, the lady said "w-wait are you sure?" because she maybe realized the person might come back and then they'd have to recook all that shit, but idk i wasn't there to have a discussion so i just took it and left.

>>14222143
Yes, several times my local McDonalds with hot teenage girls gives me free fries if I have to wait for my food too long

>>14222143
Yeah all the time. Free drinks, free deserts, free sides, occasionally a free entree. Once bought a 4 piece nugget , cashier said wait, put like 10 more nuggets in, and then told me to have a good day. She was nice. Honestly don't know why people give me shit so often.

>>14222143
Used to work at McDonalds, and during slow hours, I'd give a free small fry if the order was more than one or two things just because it kept the fries from getting stale, which would lead to complaints. Never got in any shit over it.

>>14222143
Accidentally got someone else order on top of mine from Wendy's.

Order a Baconator combo, but the girl at the drive-thru window gave me a spicy chicken sandwhich combo as well. I didnt realize it until I had already drove off.

I hope she didnt get into too much trouble for that fuck up.

>go to a&w
>it has 24 hour drive through but doors close at 10.
>its 10:01 when I arrive but doors are still open
>gorl tells me not serving anymore
>Ask why, the toll for the drive through is open, I'm standing arms reach from drive thru, just do it
>she refuses
>send email to corporate claiming discrimination due to my skin color
>get vouchers for 4 free burgers
>mfw I'm white and all employees are shit skins
I might try this again

>>14222143
Popeyes does it a lot. Once I ordered a 9 piece nuggets meal and they gave me like 13.

>>14222143
One time I asked for McChicken sauce packets and they gave me three. I said, "Wow, three for free!" and the nice friendly McDonald's worker laughed and said, "I'm going to call you 3-for-free!".

Now the staff greets me with "hey it's 3-for-free!" and ALWAYS give me three packets. It's such a fun and cool atmosphere at my local McDonald's restaurant, I go there at least 3 times a week for lunch and a large iced coffee with milk instead of cream, 1-2 times for breakfast on the weekend, and maybe once for dinner when I'm in a rush but want a great meal that is affordable, fast, and can match my daily nutritional needs.

I even dip my fries in McChicken sauce, it's delicious! What a great restaurant.

>>14222143
Once I went to a McDonalds out of town and the qt chick gave me an extra hashbrown in my bag

Also does the Taco Bell dollar menu count? It's like a 50/50 gamble if the workers load those bitches up or skimp.

this is what happened to one of the "lucky" customers that bragged about getting the stolen nugget on twitter

I dont know if people realize that if you order a pizza from a shitty chain like dominos and just call back and say "I got the wrong pizza" they will send you a new one no questions asked most of the time. Tip your driver at least if you do this though

>>14223118
>Tip your driver
why should I? fuck em, they're stupid enough to fall for it so they deserve to lose money

>>14222552
Pity.

>>14223123
The drivers dont decide that shit the managers do

>>14223118
I've done this, but only when they've actually fucked it up and forgot one of my toppings
And no, I didn't tip the driver again as it was the pizza place's fuckup

>>14222143
my sister and i went to McDonalds once. we both love mcnuggies so we each get a 10 piece. it was drive thru so we just took our bag and went off to find a nice place to eat. open the bag to find 2 20 piece orders. i paid for what i ordered, my receipt confirmed it. we ate like kings that day.

>>14222143
I once ordered McDonalds late at night through Uber Eats, but canceled a few minutes later. They still delivered the food at my apartment. I guess because it was near their closing hours and they didn't want to waste the food? I called the next day asking if they wanted to charge me for the order, but they said no.

>>14223137
unless you give me a good reason to tip I'm not going to

and "boo hoo I'm poor wahhh" is not a good reason by the way

>>14223139
Aww y'all ain't hurting nobody just eating your nuggets. Cute

>>14222160
steamed?

I used to go to this one subway just about everyday after work for a year because these two ugly teenage girls would hit on me and give me subs and cookies for free every time.

>>14222143
I just picked up food from Cheddar's and they gave me both my food and someone else's food. Got 2 full extra meals. I didn't realize the mistake until I got home.

>>14222143
>Go to McDonald's cuz I got out of work really late and didn't want to cook.
>Rarely go to fast food, but I hadn't had a Big Mac in years
>Place my order
>Taking kind of long, like 15-20 minutes
>Manager keeps coming out and apologizing, I told him not to worry. I just sat and played on my phone
>Offers freebie because it took too long, I told him not to worry.
>Kept insisting, so I was like uh okay fine, I guess I'll take an M&M McFlurry
>While eating my food saw some guy show some annoyance, but overall no one was screaming at the manager or the workers.
How often do fast food manager/employees get yelled at to cause such anxiety? It's not healthy.

I went to Harvey's once right before closing and the gave me a large fry with my burger for free. They didn't seem to realize I didn't order fries because I don't like them very much.

>>14223254
probably new on the job. i know that i didn't give a fuck about the customer after a while when i was working in the industry.

>>14223274
Well it was in a ghetto area. I've seen employees get yelled at all over in the area, so it kind of surprised me when people weren't reacting insanely. There was a large Mexican family near me at the same time, and they didn't care the food was late, they were just hanging out. The kids were complaining from hunger, but that's normal.

>>14223115
Every time I see this webm I ask for context and I never get it.

>>14223283
isn't that an American rather than a ghetto thing? i've seen videos of older white ladies yelling at various fast food and retail employees.

>>14223292
can you not fucking read

>>14222143
Does corporate keep track of things like this through missing inventory or something? Can they track down employees who do this?

>>14223299
Are you being ironic or are you actually retarded?

>>14223301
i don't know how McD's does it, but when i was working in a ramen restaurant we would only do inventory on bags worth of things, never on singular items. i think they do that as well, it would be a logistical nightmare and not worth it from a cost perspective either

>>14223301
yes we can/do

>>14223430
But don't you guys also throw out food if it's been out for too long? How do you keep track of it being left out to long vs being given away mistakenly?

>>14222239
Holy shit why arent fast food companies exploiting our gambling addiction to getting occasional bonus food

>>14223167
Not wanting to eat other people's spit should be good enough reason.

>>14223509
how do they know beforehand if I'm tipping faggot?

>>14223520
because you are a fat fuck who orders pizza 4 times a week and so they remember your address and that the fatty living there never tips.

I stopped going to my nearest mcdonalds because a fast food worker was nice to me
This tall white girl named Sam started smiling at me and laughing whenever she recognized my voice on the intercom, and gave me free food all the time. One time I asked her why, she said it was because I was nice. I was polite, but I am pretty sure I didnt say anything overly nice. What is there to say at a fast food drive thru, right? And she was white, I was asian. I felt strange getting hit on by a white girl. She was gorgeous and didnt belong at a mcdonalds doing drive thru work, so I had no idea how to approach this situation. So I simply ignored it, like the spineless cuck nobody raised me into. Sometimes Id go back inevitably, and she would be there. I never forgot when we first met, she handed me my order and her eyes got super wide while staring at me, like she was looking at the most beautiful guy in the world, but again how could that be me? Well, it's over now.

do amerisharts really spit in food if they don't get a tip? fucking hell what a shithole

>>14223557
no you fucking moron, now stop thinking about us

>>14223545
Imagine thinking because a girl is nice to you she’s hitting on you

men are retarded

>>14223557
Yes, and that's an universal thing, not just an American thing. And you deserve it for not tipping.

>>14223557
Yes, so please fuck off and don't ever visit us.

Got 2 extra burgers from BK once. Also extra chicken, rolls, and sides for waiting like 20min at Bush's Chicken that closed down after like 6 months

>>14223545
I swear I have seen this before?

>>14222143
One time I got a 6 piece chicken tendies for mcdicks and they gave me at least 12, I think it might have been 15 but I was munching for a while before realizing there were clearly not 6 in there.

When I worked at coldstone 15 years ago for some reason the small cups were in front of the larger cups and out of view. Turns out I had been giving everyone the next size up without charging them. Then I kept doing it anyway because who cares.

>>14222143
I used next to a Panda Express and went over often for lunch. I would always chat up the workers and say please and thank you. Whatever I got would be filled to the brim, and I never got charged for egg rolls.

I also used to go to a starbucks and same thing, being polite to the baristas got me free drinks. I ended up marrying one of the baristas.

My local wingstop regularly gives me extra boneless wings in my order of 10 with the most being 5 extra one time. I don't think they do it on purpose honestly if I had to guess from working fast food before they just dump an amount of frozen wings into the fryer and whatever comes out is whats going in the order.

>>14223545
That’s just sad bro... you could have had a side of mcbeef...

>>14222160
you are a cuck

>>14222469
Very based move on your part just walking out. It's amazing what you can get away with if you just take/do what you want and walk away

yes, i have. thank you for asking.

>>14222143
Something something three for free.

>>14222143
When I worked in a grocery deli I would sometimes not charge people for extra toppings on their sandwiches if they were nice. Being nice and friendly as a customer made my day less horrible

>>14222143
Freebie? No. But handie in the Jack in the Box parking lot

>>14222143
I was in the drive through at Bojangles a few weeks ago and when I got to the window they told me it was free. No idea what was going on, I just said thanks and moved on.

Honestly felt a little weird, like I was wondering if they dropped my shit on the floor or coughed on it or something and felt bad so they didn't charge me.

>>14223675
He was stealing.

>>14223581
>Yes
jesus... what a bunch of retards

>Freebie
No because 99% of the process is:
>Something accidentally added? Go through heaven and hell to fish it out of the box/bag and throw the extra in the bin before some manager notices
>Something accidentally missing?
>Ignore it, they won't notice until they've left if at all

>wingstop opens by house
>never had it, dad and brother and i order
>dad picks up our order, notice they forgot my food
>dads pissed and runs out the house to go complain
>was pissed but decided to calm down and tell them they forgot food
>forgot what i ordered so they just remake entire order
>comes back with my original wings and a brand new make of our entire order a half hour later

also had a sushi place give me free sapporos after I chose pickup instead of delivery by mistake and asked them to deliver it

>>14222143
Mostly the times when I'm a new customer in an independent place. I assume it's a tradition around here to make first timers feel welcome and have a taste of the good stuff they offer. It happens more frequently in Chinese food restaurants.

Yes. I was at BK (or was it McD?) just before closing hours. They gave me some burgers they couldn't sell before closing. Nice.

One other time I was at a deli counter and they had a bit of Leberkäs extra and the lady put two fat slices on my bun for no extra charge.

Sometimes you get lucky

>>14223292
Private companies donate money to charitable causes or public services like the police for PR reasons and get some publicity out of it.

>>14223581
falling for the tipping meme

>>14223194
despite the fact they are obviously grilled?

ive had del taco give me an old taco to give to a dog
and tacobell gave me extra food cuase i looked homeless .... i guess i kinda was

>>14223254
People can get pretty pissy when they expect their food to take a minute flat and it takes 20, people who regularly go there aren't exactly the most patient people and if something happens to delay their order they can get all kinds of nasty.

>Just today I called in an order to a local place. >Get there to pick up the food and turned out they didn't make the food because things got messed up during shift change.
>No big deal, not in a hurry.
>"Have a free soda while you wait."
>When order was ready, they mention they threw in an order of guacamole fries for the wait.
>Midnight snack!

>go to local chinese place occasionally for years
>start to really like it and go once a week at the least
>apparently attained "regular" status because they started hiding a single extra piece of meat beneath the rice
>a year or two later the meat is no longer there
>everything instantly drops in quality, I eventually don't go there at all

>>14222143
>waiting for my order
>starring at prep line to make it go faster
>catch a glimpse of a mcmonkey opening the oven, taking out 3 nuggies and stuffin them in his mouth
now i know

>>14223509
>living in a country where pizzas are delivered in unsealed boxes

>mcdonalds has drive through members card
>you get gifts based on points you get from money spent in the business
>get enough points for a free double quarter pounder meal
>uhh can you superzise that?
>pay the suprzise toll
>points dont get substracted from card like its suppossed to
>instead i keep my points and i also get extra points as if i paid for my meal
>do it again
>do it again
>do et
>eventually enough points for two double quarter pounder meals
>eventually 3
>i made it to 4 before they wised up
mind you they totally jewed you out with those points, this process took months
>mcdonalds sends you a letter telling you you are in the top ten costumers that month with a cupon for any ten meals from their menu for free
i fucking wish i kept it

Anyone who is fine with this is a degenerate. Have you ever noticed hostile architecture, spikes on the ground to prevent homeless people from sleeping? Or that clothing companies would rather throw out wearable yet unsellable clothing than donate it, eateries doing the same thing for prepared food that didn’t sell that day? It’s basic supply and demand. Giving things out for free diminishes the value of a company’s goods and services.

>>14223139
>we ate like kings that day.
>McDonalds

>>14223827
Yes, and? He is based.

>>14224372
That's right! Think about the profits goy!

At a shawarma place, they had a brand new meat cylinder when I ordered. They said if I want the crust it won't count for the amount of meat. I accepted and got like 2 pounds of meat. The crust was crunchy and pretty good desu.

>>14222143
I once ordered a six-piece McNugget and technically ended up with seven since two were fused together.

Some people can be friendly, but some are not.

>>14222143
once i nugget. asked sauce. "three? for free?!" Hahahaha 34free!

>>14224766
thats only 5 because 2 have a soggy side and are trash

>>14222143
once my girl and i went to taco bell because DUDE WEED lmao munchies.
We placed the order at the drive trough and went up to the window to pay. I had no cash, debit only.
Their system was down so they just gave me the grub for free.

>>14222160
I kek’d

>>14222239
i literally wouldnt even noticed if they gave me extra food lol

>>14223684
Yes, like pussy

>>14222160
>t. bootlicker

>>14223118
I don't know if people realize that it's pretty easy to lie and cheat.

>>14224890

>>14222143
A lot of times. I got extra fries, free cake, sometimes the cashier did not staved in the stuff on purpose and i had to play like half price :)
Mostly because "i think" they had a bad day and i was nice to them.

>>14223154
You were probably charged anyway
Uber eats customer service is a bureaucratic nightmare.

>>14222143
I went to maccas 5am and got a free apple pie because they took too long warming up the grills for me.

My friend who works at chick fil a would stop by on his lunch break and give me and my sister a sandwich and fries. He stopped after my sister rejected his romantic advances

>>14222143
Went through Popeyes drive-thru for 5 tenders combo. They hand me the chicken but say they're waiting on my side so ask me to park in the parking lot to wait for it.

When they come out they hand me a complete order with another 5 tenders. Guess someone took over and didn't know they had handed me chicken already. Shit was cash

>>14222143
>sitting in the Chick-fil-a drive thru, next in line
>drive up to window
>workers aren't paying much attention to the window because it's a rush
>get my first bag
>someone else who wasn't helping me turns around with a frozen lemonade
>"AAAYYY I FINALLY GOT A PERFECT SWIRL ON TOP, CHECK IT OU-"
>looks directly at me
>"wait, the other guy drove off?"
>looks around at her coworkers, they all realize the customer drove off before they got the rest of their order by mistake
>"... do you want a lemonade?"
>"sure"
>get a free frozen lemonade and sandwich in my order
Christians are pretty based

Last time I went to Wendy's they were slammed, nobody in the first window and the girl in the second window just handed me my food before I could offer to pay. Shit was cash

>>14223115
only the US could have a mcdonald's police

>>14224372
Oh no not the heccin corporations :(

Yeah. Four of us went to Wendy's high as shit and ordered 3 Frostys. They ended up giving us like 6. We were losing our shit when they kept passing us more Frostys. Pretty fun desu

>>14222143
why didn't he think of all of the people who would have one fewer mcnugget in their order because he had to take it

>>14223004
Based whitey dabing on a leaf chain.

I kept using my employee discount card after I got fired from McDonalds

>>14222143
>go to grocery store for some fried chicken because it's like two blocks away and didn't feel like cooking that night
>they're out of legs and wings, don't really care i'll take whatever, just want hot food
>the person i assume is the deli manager or whatever is telling everyone who walks up it'll be 13 more minutes before more chicken is ready
>says the same thing to everyone over the course of the 10 minutes i had to wait in line because weird coronavirus shit
>without putting any more chicken in the very visible fryer
>finally get to the counter
>dude serving the chicken doesn't seem to care, i tell him i'd take whatever he had
>rings up two big ass containers of chicken as an 8 piece
>end up with 8 fried chicken breasts for $7

really improved my day desu

>>14222143
does extra sauce count? I've been on the other end of working in a fast food place and I always give extra fresh crispy fries, tendies, etc.. when I feel like it. The manager is always chilling in his office away from the line cooks so we always manage to sneak stuff.

>>14222143
Local kebab always gives me free chips.

>>14222143
the mullato girl at Caines hooks me up with an extra chicken strip sometimes. shes my fast food waifu.

Sometimes 711 employees give you more food if it's been on the rollers long enough.

>McDonald's drive through
>order mcdouble and snack wrap
>"sorry sir our systems locked cause the last lady used a stollen card, do u have cash"
>no
>"he ain't order much just give it to him for free"
>pull forward grab bag and it's way too heavy
>look inside, a snack wrap, 4 mcdoubles, 2 mchickens, 2 orders of fries
I guess they just gave me mine and everything the lady with the stolen card ordered.

>>14224704
You have a lot to learn, kid.

>>14223301
When i worked in bars they expected some products to be "lost or damaged", so they didn't really look into it too much.
They'd only really start investigating if it was cheaper to solve the problem than to ignore it.

>>14223304

>>14223567
I'm two years into a relationship and i still think women who are nice to me are hitting on me.
Women are unironically cunts a lot of the time unless they want something out of you, or expect to run into you a lot.

>>14226616
you underestimate the amount of autism anons on this board are capable of

I often give people more ice cream than supposed to.
Also put more ingredients by weight in desserts.
Occasionally treat regulars to a free coffee or their favourite chocolate.
Bringing my own ice cream and milk to make some cocktails to treat coworkers. Not so often.
People fucking cried when we reopened after corona-chan and they saw me behind the bar.
Regulars bring me sweets and toys from their overseas vacations and travels.
You can totally make a day for someone if you work in the industry. I was feeling this for a long time, but understood just recently.

>>14222143
Pop Eyes gave me a free pie because I had to wait 15 minutes for a chicken sandwich. The guy before me ordered at least 10+ for multiple people so they ran out temporarily.

He's wearing his old McDonald's uniform shirt (since it's black and fits with police dress code) underneath his tactical vest. Maybe he didn't have time to get a better shirt, or he grabbed the wrong black shirt by accident, or maybe he's a memer or retarded. Who knows.

>Bloke says it'll be thrown out otherwise

Small town underfunded police force. Gets extra money from private companies to advertise.

>>14223292
Now that the police got de-funded, private companies are creating their own security organisations.

There's a Starbucks down the road from where I live that I'm a regular at, because I stop in once a week to get something while I'm at the nearby laundromat. I'm friendly with the staff and they're nice to me in return. I stopped in one morning before I went to a volunteer duty, the asked me what I was up to, and when I told them they gave me my latte for free. I'm kind of sad that COVID has kept that place shut down, it may not even reopen. I think that store in particular wasn't bringing in enough customers and there's already multiple Starbuckses in town. Kind of a shame.

>High as shit
>Decided to eat something
>Go through McDonald's drive through
>Guy working on the window told me I had a free mac chicken from the gentlemen behind me

If only you knew how much the food is really worth you would delete your comment. They literally grind up the useless scraps of left over chicken that was going to be tossed and sell it

Went to Burger King, guy in front of me got his payment declined. They figured it was temporary, give him his food for free. I ordered and the same thing happened to me, I got my food for free as well but after that they only accepted cash.

>>14229255
5 cents is really generous. It’s probably fractions of a penny. It’s just like chicken sludge

They would have just thrown it out. You could have spit or cummed into the food so they wouldn’t serve it to another guest.

If it's not a skit it's probably some sort of local sponsorship. As for why the dude is failing to knock the door any competent dealer/cook will reinforce their doors against such attacks.

>>14222143
Not fast food, but this guy at Outback walked out on his meal and was giving guests the coupons he ended up not using.

When I was 14 years old my mom gave me money to get her a chili dog from the nearby weinerschnitzel, I got to the place, the cashier was a cute blonde girl and when I made my order she asked me if I wanted a drink to go along with it, I said no, she asked me if I was sure and that it was "on the house" and I locked eyes with her and then got embarrassed and looked away and said "uh sure" and she giggled and gave me my drink. That's probably the only time I've ever gotten anything for free at a fast food joint.
