Hello my fellow goons. Over the years as a poorgoon and a fast food lover I have come across many tips and tricks at the various joints to stretch your dollar. Feel free to use any of these "life hacks" or add your own! - For less than the price of an iced coffee, you can buy a hot coffee, ask for a cup of ice and pour the hot coffee into the ice. - Does the joint have a self-serve soda fountain? Ask for a cup of water. They will just hand you an empty cup and you can put whatever you want in it. - Lots of "fast casual" type places simply place all of their to go orders on a big table or counter somewhere with no one paying attention. You can take something and walk out and no one will notice. - Whenever you get a subway sandwich, ask for every vegetable and condiment. They can't say no and this will give you the most food/calories possible. You can separate the sandwich into portions at home. - No one can stop you from using the bathroom without paying. This saves toilet paper and valuable time spent cleaning the toilet at home.

- The hand sanitizer from the bathroom is cheaper than buying an extra sauce package and only slightly less tastier.

If you suck off the guy behind the counter he's legally obligated to give you a free serving of fries.

I get the feeling that pencilhands can’t even afford to shop at the dollar store.

You can just pull a drink cup out of the trash, wash it off and refill it like you were the one that bought the drink.

bossy lady posted:buy 100 big macs and then shuffle them like a blackjack dealer This is a good idea. You could get a 2 for 1 deal, the big mac for example, and just wait at the counter for someone to order one and sell one to them for half price.

If your local taco bell has one of those anti-junkie blue lights in the bathroom, you can still use the light from your lighter or a small flashlight to find a vein and bang the good poo poo. While you’re in there, pick a cup out of the garbage, fill it with your own blood and throw in the eyes of whoever’s behind the counter. Then you can stagger in and get as much free food as you want (but you won’t because you’re never hungry, so you can just take some cash).

There was this TV show called "Con" and the first sketch was about how to get free drinks at fast food places by carrying around a trunk full of old, washed fast food cups in your car and then using them in to get free drinks from places. I was impressed by how dedicated the guy was to saving a dollar on a soda.

Go to the local Wendys, McDonalds, and BK, eat like half the burger, then send it back and demand a refund because you found a band aid in it.

you can quietly open a 0.5mm lead refill pack on display by the counter and load it into your own personal BIC mechanical pencil that you brought with you, and then leave the restaurant without paying for the lead

A real hack is, and its easy if you have ever used an EFTPOS machine before, is to just give yourself a refund when everyone walks away from the counter.

want to reach a consensus on best mcchicken configuration: mcchicken add cheese add pickles and with hot sauce from home (prefer valentina, will also accept packets of taco bell fire sauce as best option)

Sometimes people just leave partially eaten items on their table, if you're faster than the employees clearing them you can eat for free.
