A unique story of “generosity” has surfaced on Reddit, where a user revealed that a friend working at McDonald’s provided free meals and discounts for an entire year. This “McRobin Hood” operation, as the user qualified it in a funny way, allowed them and their friends to enjoy the advantages without feeling guilty.
The employee managed to manage this operation without being captured, with a rare act of stealthy benevolence. By thinking about the experience, the Reddit user noted: “I and my friends ate for free for a year. My friend worked at McDonald’s and he would always secretly give free things or gave me and my other friends a huge reduction.”
“Was it bad? Because I always laughed and I didn’t feel bad,” they wrote, adding that visits with groups of up to five friends were not uncommon.
The message quickly gained popularity, other Reddit users sharing anecdotes for the operating channels. A user detailed how a Faille from the Domino application allowed free pizzas every weekend until the problem is repaired. “He scammed the F ** out of them … until they finally understood and put a stop there,” they revealed. These tales highlight the creativity that some use to take advantage of system supervisors.
Another user shared an experience as a domino delivery driver, where a combination of promotional codes has led to free pizzas. “I had a quarter of work as a Domino delivery driver where a combination of codes would lead to a free pizza. Orders have come together when it was published online. I made the shit of advice while laughing with customers on this subject.” This illustrates how these smart bypass solutions can also benefit those on the front line in the food industry.
Food gift stories continued with a former Wendy employee telling how high school staff often gave frozen nuggets and chicken breasts. “I worked at Wendy’s in high school and most of the time, the crew that closed was all high school students. A guy was throwing whole bags of frozen nuggets and chicken breasts to his friends through the window.” These tales are used to emphasize how these practices are more widespread than one might assume.
A former director general at Arby offered an overview of generous practices in fast food chains, sharing that free meals have been given to knowledge and professionals. “I worked as managing director for an Arby for 3 years. I gave free meals to all those I knew at a distance … friends, family, colleagues, regulars, children, doctors, nurses, officers. Almost everyone in a work uniform that came on a lunch break.” The for -profit margins in 2022 facilitated such generosity without much concern.
The accounts reveal a fascinating aspect of the fast food industry, where employees sometimes exploit their positions to spread the good will, either out of friendship or simply to enjoy a shared laugh on a free meal.
