Free Food

Have you ever gone to a restaurant chain and gotten free food? I mean, not purposefully, but maybe they just forgot to charge you?

This happened to me right now at Little Caesers. I ordered the deep dish lunch and the little lady went off to make it. She came back, handed me the lunch, and told me grab a drink and then "thank you!" then walked away. Obviously, I gave her the chance to remember by standing there for 30 seconds grabbing some napkins and checkng my phone. Then I walked out, but not before telling her "Thank you", myself. A free meal, I guess.

What about you anons. Any unintentional free food stories from restaurants?

Last time i went to burger king they gave me a double whopper instead of a single.

When I was a young boy (5-6), I went with my dad to a local cafe/breakfast place. I got a free (FREE) milkshake for being so fucking cute at the time.

I've never gotten anything free except by mistake since then. It's been 20 years.

You didn't have to add the last sentence. No one feels bad for you just because you got older

Taco bell gave me a free meal coupon because they messed up my order.

I ordered only a burger and juice at McDonald's once. When they brought me my tray, it also had fries on. They must've added them automatically, it happens. I went back to the counter to report the mistake (in case they forget to give them to someone who actually ordered fries) and I offered to pay for them. They thanked me for telling, refused payment and told me to just keep and enjoy them.
That was pretty neat.

>Go to mcdonalds
>Order two mcdoubles
>They give me a sack full of them
I got like 8 and to this day have no idea why

maybe you're really cool

...

Bill Miller's sometimes hooks it up near close

enjoy internal hell OP

Fast food places can't take back food and give it to someone else for hygiene reasons. If you make them take the food back, they just throw it in the trash, so don't even bother telling them unless they just gave you the wrong thing.

i ordered a jr chicken once and got a mcchicken by mistake

another time a restaurant undercharged me or gave me way to much change (i forget which) but i told them about the error when i realized because i didn't want anyone to get in trouble

I went to Zaxby's once and ordered one wing meal. When I got my food, I had gotten and extra tray and it was a chicken tender meal. I have no idea why it happened.

>go to fast food restaurant 5 min before closing
>order one item from the dollar menu
>when at the window ask the employee if there is any extra food they are trying to get rid of
>get a full sack of warm fast food that has been sitting under the lamps for an untold number of hours

How's his schizophrenia developing?

bad

wait is that a thing that actually happened

>Hungover
>Drive to McD's to get a McGriddle and hash brown
>Go to first window to pay, hold out my money
>Girl at the window tells me the woman in the car ahead of me paid for my meal
>Confused as fuck, sit there just holding the money out like an idiot for a good ten seconds
>"Why?"
>She shrugs
>Hold the money out for another few seconds
>Retract money, baffled

Remembering it, I'm getting confused again.

Other than that, there's been a few occasions where I've gotten extra stuff in the bag, but nothing really stands out.

I used my aunt's comp at the local casino for a free $500 meal for 4

It happens often, I think it might've started at Starbucks. It's called "pay it forward", look it up if you want to.

I remember my local McDonalds had a crew that was clearly stealing money, they would hand out a bunch of free shit (e.g. "hey do you guys want some free cookies?"). Obviously they eventually got caught but it was a fun ride while it lasted

I ordered a salmon steak once and they took too long for the order so the manager came up to me and told me he paid for my food as a way to apologize for the wait.

That wasn't the case with the McDonalds I worked at. I was handing somebody their order when a coworker took it out of their hand and brought it over to the drive-thru, because apparently someone there ordered the exact same thing and the drive-thru took priority. Management didn't even care that my customer already had the meal in their hands. I walked out of that place 10 minutes later.

If there was ever a way to get people to rub their dick on your food this would be it

I work in fast food and if you really want my trash, you can have it, really

>go to dunkies for a drink and one of those beetus bomb peanut butter cronuts late at night
>price when i pull up is only the price of the coffee, and that's all she gives me
>i asked for a cronut, too?
>"oh, sorry"
>she comes back with the cronut and just hands it to me
>fucking retard me asks "DUHH YOU AREN'T GONNA CHARGE ME FOR THE DONUT?"
>cashier goes "it's fine" and i drive off feeling like one hell of an uncle john

Ordered pizza online and chose carry out because the last time I paid the delivery guy he didn't have change so I gave him a 20 for a 11 dollar pizza. Arrive at pizza shop and tell girl my name. Takes her like a minute to find my name and asks if I paid when I selected pay in cash on the website. I hand her my debit card and she's standing around for a minute not sure what to do. She calls her manager over and asks if I already paid. Manager doesn't know what he's doing. They give my card back and I walk out with my pizza.

I told her I haven't paid yet how fucking hard is it to swipe the card.

I get intentional free food from Chipotle all the time

Whenever I go there, it's because I'm on lunch break and forgot home food, so I go for cheapest with highest calories to get me through the day - $2.18 for a rice and beans burrito at around 800. I just ask for 'a little extra rice' and 'a little extra beans' and then say it's done.

They're all college kids and real nice to me, so they give me the burrito for free and wave me through maybe 1/15 times

>Order food from pickup
>MASSIVE quantities for family
>Every time I do this, kid on register charges me before giving me the food
>This time, she just hands me the food
>Me: I guess dad paid over the phone with a card?
>Me: ... Have a nice day!
>Her: Have a nice day! (turns away to do something else)
>Guess he must have
>Get home
>Dad: what do I owe you?
>me: ? Nothing you paid with your card remember
>Dad: ? No I didn't

we actually did call up the restaurant and do the phone card thing, apparently they'd realized her mistake after I left and the manager was about to fire the girl :(

I've been handed the wrong bag in the drive thru with a lot more food than I had actually ordered on more than one occasion. One time as I was pulling away the guy realized his mistake and was yelling to try to get me to stop, but I didn't stop

I was on the 5 floor cafe of a building in Harajuku with a Korean friend when the touhoku earthquake happened right as we were about to pay the tab.

A bunch of stuff fell off the wall and shattered during it so they told us to just head downstairs and not worry about paying when it was mostly over. I had not gotten a drink or a dessert because I wanted to save money but now I wish I had ordered a lot more...

One time I was at Wendy's and I had ordered some JBCs, but decided I wanted some fries. I asked the cashier and she just put them in the bag. I was taking out my wallet to pay and she said don't worry about it. It was a large too.

Another time at McDonald's the cashier handed me the bag and she said there was an extra McDouble in there.

i steal food from my grocery store all the time. theres a 7 cent city """tax""" on plastic bags so you gotta bring your own bag. i leave small items in my bag while the bagboy is loading it up. small spice bottles, yeast, and tortillas are what i usually steal

Your post isn't relevant to the thread, you fucking slag. Nobody asked about stealing.

im a shart in mart not a britshit. call me a culturally appropriate insult please

I've got free stuff from amazon. If they send you someone else's order they let you keep it.

Server brought out the entree before the appetizer. They comped the entire meal without me complaining.

I used to get free stuff from Dunkin Donuts. The guy who ran the place was a special kind of friendly. One time a bartender comped my entire night's tab. What else... I got a few free drinks at a brewery/restaurant because the waitress stirred my tequila sunrise. I was on a Greyhound years ago and we stopped at a big convenience store. A guy insisted on buying me lunch and eating together. He said he couldn't bring himself to eat alone--cultural thing. Oh yeah, I used to frequent this Indian joint down in Market East. The owner would give me twice as much food as I ordered. He seemed to delight in watching me eat.

As a Starbucks employee I fucking hate this it completely ruins my effeciency in drive thru

>At local boba shop
>Chatting with the employee
>Place order
>(At this point I'm supposed to pay)
>After he makes my drink, I leave immediately with my drink
>Realize what happened after like 45 min of driving

I do, my cuteness gets me free shit all the time.

Does that not apply to you?

had some time to kill one day last week so i went to tim hortons and ordered a coffee and a blueberry muffin. went to pay on debit, but before i got the chance to put my pin in it said "transaction accepted". tld the girl her machine wasnt working and she asked if i used tap. I told her no and she told me it said i paid, so i could have it for free.
>mfw

i get free shit all the time but im not exactly cute
>go to libshit hotspot like a starbucks
>retard qt girl at cashier
>order whatever
>"ok thatll be $420.69"
>"i dont have money but i do have this"
>flex the guns
>she gives me her number and i get whatever for free
this has happened so many times that i have considered going gay because women are a meme at this point

one time i ordered triple whopper and they put 4 patties on it

I used to go to Moe's all the time when I was younger. The manager found out I didn't know about the loyalty cards that you collect stamps with. He stamped out a whole card and gave me the current food I was ordering for free. Idk why I spent so much money on mediocre food, probably could have bought a car with all that money.

>Go to Taco Bell drive-thru with dad
>Order $40+ worth of food
>Guy at window hands us the bags of food
>He doesn't ask for the money
>Sit there for a minute or two waiting for the guy to realize we didn't pay yet
>Drive off without paying

Guess he didn't value his status in society as a Taco Bell Burrito Artist.

>Order a pizza from pizza hut
>Its about 30m from closing
>Come pick it up, 10m before closing
>They offer me all the unsold breadsticks
I took them because, hey, free breadsticks
Ate maybe 3 of them and threw the rest out because they were so fucking gross

>Try this
>Girl just looks at me weird and take back the drink
What'd I do wrong?

>$40+
>Drive-thru
You're a fucking asshole

>find places that do online ordering
>order during busy time
>it's never ready especially with places like taco bell
>get free shit as reward

Jesus Christ, as if those minimum wage monkeys didn't have enough with the drive-thru on top of walkin customers. Now they have to juggle online orders, too?

Imagine making 7 dollars an hour and being SCREAMED at by your supervisor because you aren't handling 15 orders every minute at 100% accuracy.

Yeah, what's your point?

>not purposefully
No, I've only done it on purpose.

>"McDolan's, how may I help you?"
>Yeah I just got home and realized you forgot my X and 2 X's in the drive through order.
>"I'm sorry, how can we fix this for you?"
>Can I come back down and pick it up?
>"Yes, of course! Just let us know at the drive-through!"
>Okay, I'll be right there.

It was the 90's though. They probably track orders better now and would want a receipt... maybe.

Nah, if you get all bitchy when they ask for a receipt a majority of the time they will just fold and give you whatever you ask for.

>Imagine making 7 dollars an hour...
Sorry, I can't.

Just making sure you know

>washington

The entire US isn't washington.

your not hot lmao

im remeber once i go to a pizza place for a pizza and they made me wait so much that they gift me a free soda as an apology,a whole 2 lt bottle all to myself

That was not my point.

It was,
>Imagine making 11 dollars an hour and being SCREAMED at by your supervisor because you aren't handling 15 orders every minute at 100% accuracy.

I agree with you, but at 11$ an hour, yeah, you better get it right. But you won't because if you get fired you can EASILY (trust me) get unemployment which fucks over your previous employer.
I'm aware that minimum wage is shit in other states. But it's shit here too because your server that makes the same amount in tips in your state makes $11 per hour on top of that.

Unsustainable. Just going to boost goods and service costs onto the consumer. And then 11 = 7.

Shhhh...

>you can EASILY get unemployment

hahahahaha you are clueless as fuck, maybe in states that have human rights that can be true, but any state that is "right to work," if you get fired from a job you are fucked 3/4 of the time unless you are a part of a union.

Your manager can fire you and replace you in the same day.

There is not a chance on this planet those breadsticks were "throw out free fucking food" gross.

But they told me unions were un-American.

you clearly dont work

Some fatass probably had a meltdown when he discovered he had only 2 instead of the usual 8

>hahahahaha you are clueless as fuck, maybe in states...
You missed the plot. We were talking about WA.
It's very easy to get unemployment here. Even if you quit. I've gotten unemployment in the last 2 years after quitting.
I have lived in "right to work" states (Idaho for ex.). It kinda sucks.

Been in the workforce since '86.

Why the hell would order 56 arrive before 55 if it was almost identical?

Fucker got what he deserved

Well I am glad you live in a state that values the rights of those who weren't born with a silver spoon in their mouth.

thank you for your sympathy

I once went to a bagel place with my friends when I was a kid. While they got something, I didn't have any money. What must have been the only black guy in the state I lived in was working, and he gave me a free bagel when I told him I didn't have any money after he asked me what I wanted, and kept giving me free ones every time I went in after that. Ever since then, I've been pro-black people.

When I was a kid, I used to get free candy from fair stalls all the time because they thought I was cute.

Nowadays I get something like free soda or a free dessert on top of my meal, but now that's usually accompanied by the guy behind the counter trying to flirt.

Unintentional free food happened too, usually what happens to me is I get double portions / my order plus something else entirely.
Once got a whole meal (a portion of rice, a portion of pork and a dessert) that I never ordered.
It was delivery, so most likely a delivery guy fuck-up rather than the restaurant's.

Is this a weird wendys shill where the best part about wendys JBC is that they some times forget to charge you?

I sometimes used to get free tacos from taco bell. I would take it because i knew they would just throw them out if i reported it, but i still felt bad

At my dominos, ive seen the same guy for like 2 years now. Sometimes he gives me more change or discounts that no one else gets

I once ordered some food from a cafe with a £20 note -- the food cost £5 in total. Gave the man the money. He took it and put it in the till, then stared at the till a few seconds then gave me £40 back. Told me he would send the rest over with the food. Assuming they'd realise the mistake I kept the money aside but nope: when the food came I was given another £5 change.

I really miss the FF chains in my home town cause they would constantly fuck up and when they did they wouldn't ask for whatever food they gave you back. So we'd go to Jack or Whataburger real late at night and 75% of the time return with twice the food we ordered.

The last time this happened was at a McDonalds. I'm not a fan but my roommate at the time really wanted the McRib. They were real cheap and if you added an extra it was a dollar so we ended up ordering like 4 of them along with a bunch of other shit. Well, they got us our order but forgot my entire part of the order except the McRib, they gave two extra. So it was like they thought I only wanted fucking McRibs. I pointed it out to them, they realized what they did and they just made EVERYTHING again for us, including the McRibs we not only had already, but had extra of.

So, we got home with like 10 McRibs, at least 4 sandwhiches on the dollar menu, fuckton of frys and 4 drinks. I was kind of a fatfuck eating wise at the time, but even this was too much for me. Luckily, our other roommate was more than happy to help us out with this mountain of 'food' we'd been given.

Nah, it really happened. Besides, why would I shill Wendy's and then in the same post talk about McDoubles?

>broke as fuck
>tired of cooking and eating rice and beans every night
>scrape together a few bucks in change and head to mcdonalds
>order the most jewish shit from the dollar menu
>pay like $4
>pull up to 2nd window
>get handed massive bag filled with multiple large meals
>immediately drive away
>gorge myself all night on big macs and fries, eat leftovers in the morning.

Our lord and savior ronald mcdonald smiled upon me and fed me in my time of need.

I work at Six Fags and hate it so much I intentionally give people more food than what we usually do if I ever get the chance. I was working at our funnel cake factory and loading that shit up with toppings and ice cream fuck six flags if you ever go there don't actually eat their food it's overpriced and it's on par with dog food literally only our ice cream and funnel cakes are worth it everything else is a scam including our games they actually tell us day 1 not to play any of them because they're meant to suck the money out of you.

by the way everything that isn't our funnel cakes isn't made fresh it sits out for 30-40 minutes and is frozen before they also charge $13 for this shit and it's fucking shit fucking Skypes are running that place. 90% of the people that come in are trash yesterday I dealt with some crazy bitch soccer mom and some black crackhead and the Stacies in line felt so bad that made fun of them to me and cracked some jokes and then I walked out and somehow convinced my supervisor I was too sick to work. I think I'm only going to be able to work there on benzos or something that can take away the pain please god kill me.

Take a deep breath, user.

yeah here's a link that used to lead to the video
youtube.com/watch?v=ZpbIOkNWcHY

all copies of the video have been scrubbed from the internet. don't bother looking for it. you can't find it.

>Have you ever gone to a restaurant chain and gotten free food?

My black boyfriend does this constantly, its kinda funny desu.

He takes it as some type of triumph or something whenever he can guilt some scared white kid into giving him free stuff.

Does the money you get from working even offset the cost of the weed you smoke to work there? Fuck. That sucks.

I'd warn you about what's to come but if you're dating one of those I suppose you actually enjoy abuse anyway.

they have me working so much I'm basically full time now instead of part time and for the most part yeah I spend $20 a week on weed sometimes $40 if it gets really bad I'm going to get more on thursday I've got stories if you guys want I already want to burn this place to the fucking ground

not a real thrilling tale but her goes
>went out to eat at italian pie with family
>waiter takes our order, obviously new, young girl probably first job high school young, making small mistakes like forgetting menu's, apologizing over little mess ups
>10 min later she comes back with a bunch appetizers and a calzone we didn't order
>turns out she wrote whatever shorthand they use to take orders wrong and kitchen made whole different order
>again she's apologizing profusely we tell her to relax
>we basically got a whole meal free on top our order and the manager said we didn't have to pay
>leave tip for the poor girl and tell her she'll get better
that was like 4 years ago wonder if she still works there, hope she didn't get fired over a little thing like that

What was in the video?

One of my friends that I go to the clubs with brings random people sometimes. They end up buying our drinks since it's a hassle to try and get 5 drinks and have 5 separate payments, so I'll take my free drink then bounce to another club with other friends. Saved hundreds of dollars doing this.

You've clearly never had them

>your server that makes the same amount in tips in your state makes $11 per hour on top of that.
Remind me to never tip when I'm in washington

>bill miller's
>the fast food of BBQ
luby's for comfort food or an actual bbq joint for real meats, senpai.

At university there were a few events for free food.
Pretty sure one of them I went to was an exclusive thing, but oh well.

Cop here. I get lots of free food and drinks while I'm at work. I'd wager at least 30% of it has spit in it though.

The guy in line ahead of me paid for my order at chipotle. I have no idea why. By the time I noticed what happened he was already gone.
Not sure about fast food places, etc, but I worked at a gas station and we'd give free soda and coffee to cops. More cops coming around to get free stuff basically means free security.
I'd never fuck with it (not that I fucked with anybody's stuff), all the cops were pretty nice.

>I'd wager at least 30% of it has spit in it though.

Good.
