It's hard to describe to people who have never worked in restaurants just how insanely dedicated to getting free food some people are, and the lengths they will go to for the sake of a couple tacos

We had one guy who responded to my calling his bluff because he kept calling from the same number and failed the various tests that are administered secretly to see if someone is full of poo poo by buying a couple burner phones and using those instead

Also hard to describe: how unhealthy a desk job is in comparison, excluding cooking because jesus christ the cooks get fat. Just being on your feet and walking for probably 30-40 minutes of every hour (and leaning on poo poo for most of the rest) is enough to counteract an incredibly lovely diet and sedentary home life.

Alamoduh posted:

What are these tests? Are they top secret or can you share them? I want to steal tacos, too.

It's just a matter of getting them to slip up, and there's some reliable ways to do this. If they said they spoke to a manager who said it was alright that I give them a case of burgers, I ask them their name. They usually respond with some bullshit, almost certainly mentioning this pretend person's sex or description. At that point it's a 50/50 shot I can immediately shut them down, as there's only 1 manager at a time so their guess as to their sex may immediately DQ them

Another good way is to ask for specific info about their visit. If they waffle a bit that's a surefire giveaway that they're bullshitting, because they want to hold out any info in case I pull up sales reports to confirm.

People who do this pathologically also tend to have patterns, so there's that to look out for. Stuff like cars to look out for when they pull into the drive thru - known scammers get a manager to help them so that when they come back later they can be told to gently caress off with authority - and times of day.

The funniest part of this whole thing is that even if you're stone cold, 100% sure that someone is trying to steal from you, they can call and complain and it will still be held against your numbers, and in fast food your live or die by your customer satisfaction numbers.

There's not really a "one neat trick" to getting free poo poo from fast food places. Your best bet is always going to be ordering something small and saying you ordered a combo or whatever, and doing it when it's busy. They know you're full of poo poo, but just giving you a couple tacos or whatever to make you go away is worth more to them than slowing everything down to refund and re-ring your order

The funniest part is that, with kiosks, it's going to be A LOT easier to get free poo poo. Either directly by hacking the machines, or by social engineering because the only response they are going to have to "I pressed the combo button but it didn't register it correctly" is to just give you that combo or whatever. Combine that with the fact that any refunds/reprocessing of orders is almost certainly going to have to be done by the manager with the office computer and the cost:benefit of just giving you poo poo to go away is even more skewed in the consumer-thief's favor

There isn't destiny
The way things go
I don't think so
The changes that alter us
are a product of our own volition
and we become what we hate
It's not hard to figure out
that you're scared when
you act so much better
You're holding onto
something we can't have
but hands still circle
you're still getting old
and we become what we hate
Do you believe in the lies
that shape your world
Do you believe in your
own fictitious immortality
The world won't end while
you walk the earth
and when you realize that
your life don't matter
You'll turn to something to help
you forget that you're
only young once, old forever
