Wow that’s horrible, anyone got step by step instructions so I can make sure I avoid doing this?

Looks like he used Bluestacks emulator to create three different instances of the McDonald's app which gave him three different coupons for $1 nuggets and made three separate orders using those coupons. So it cost him $3 in all for 30 nuggets and 6 dips. He ordered them for pick-up. Very inventive imo. Good method for large families and friend groups.

Back in college my friend and I found pictures of a bunch of "free large anything no purchase necessary" coupons to like 3 different fast food joints. He was an art and graphic design major so he photoshopped the expiration dates so they were still valid and we would print stacks of them in the university library for free.

We used them so many times the managers had to come out and be like, look we don't know where you're getting these coupons from but we called corporate and we're not going to take them anymore. So what we did was drive out to the next restaurant further away and do it all over again.

We must have gotten several hundred dollars of free food each over the course of a few months.

We had something similar with domino's pizza, but later corporate just changed the prices of the pizzas we were ordering to the employee discount we were using anyway, so no more couponing

Maybe less cool, but back in uni, I figured out how to get free Cokes from the vending machine by using my freakishly long and thing arms to pull on the chain inside. I'd bring a friend with bags and we'd absolutely clean out the machines in the middle of the night.

This was before CCTV was everywhere, you probably couldn't do this now.

Get yourself a partner who appreciates scamming McDonald's out of the delicious nuggets.

Couldn't handle the nuggy grind set.

Props to the girl for communicating honestly.

[–] SadArtemis@hexbear.net 65 points 2 months ago

Her loss tbh. What's wrong with some girls nowadays (but actually looking at this pic).

Get me a girl or a guy who's all up in that cheapass stealing-from-corpo etc. hustle lenin-heart Doesn't matter if she can afford it, whether she should is the real question

I have no moral objections to doing this, but you really want to subject yourself to eating ~~main~~ McNuggets? feast-1feast-2

[–] CthulhusIntern@hexbear.net 26 points 2 months ago

It's not about the food, it's about sending a message.

[–] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 56 points 2 months ago (1 children)

i would be so down for someone with these instincts and the initiative and skills to pull them off, but i would have to insist we limit fast food intake.

this is called plunder and besides being cool + good, it's a survival strategy.

Some former MetalEurop employees become bank robbers rather prison guards. Some EDF employees show friends and family how to rig the electricity meters. Commodities that “fell off the back of a truck” are sold left and right. A world that so openly proclaims its cynicism can’t expect much loyalty from proletarians.

On the one hand, a commune can’t bank on the “welfare state” being around forever, and on the other, it can’t count on living for long off shoplifting, nighttime dumpster diving at supermarkets or in the warehouses of the industrial zones, misdirecting government subsidies, ripping off insurance companies and other frauds, in a word: plunder. So it has to consider how to continually increase the level and scope of its self-organization. Nothing would be more logical than using the lathes, milling machines, and photocopiers sold at a discount after a factory closure to support a conspiracy against commodity society.

The feeling of imminent collapse is everywhere so strong these days that it would be hard to enumerate all of the current experiments in matters of construction, energy, materials, illegality or agriculture. There’s a whole set of skills and techniques just waiting to be plundered and ripped from their humanistic, street-culture, or eco-friendly trappings. Yet this group of experiments is but one part of all of the intuitions, the know-how, and the ingenuity found in slums that will have to be deployed if we intend to repopulate the metropolitan desert and ensure the viability of an insurrection beyond its first stages.

How will we communicate and move about during a total interruption of the flows? How will we restore food production in rural areas to the point where they can once again support the population density that they had sixty years ago? How will we transform concrete spaces into urban vegetable gardens, as Cuba has done in order to withstand both the American embargo and the liquidation of the USSR?

i'm a shitpig who has had plenty of mcdonalds in my life, but the nuggets are one of the worst things they have.

[–] Florn@hexbear.net 21 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Speaking as a former employee, you have to eat them like immediately. Don't bother getting them to go.

[–] Gorb@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

That's the case for anything at McDonald's if its allowed to cool for even a minute its shit.

[–] cerealkiller@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago

I remember seeing this clip from my country once where two guys ordered 200 apples from McDonalds using those giant tablet things for like 50€ (like 60$) and had to wait 4 hours to actually get all of them lmao.

[–] kittin@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago
