A while back Taco Bell and T-Mobile was doing some promo where you could get a free taco each week (or something like that, it's been years) for "T-Mobile Tuesday". The code wasn't unique, but it's use was tracked on the TB account. TB at this time also didn't have a captcha for new accounts.
I also had a Google Workspace domain that had its email rigged to accept and deliver any email sent to its domain regardless of what was before the @.
A bit of C# later and I had a Taco Generator going, on command it would generate however many orders at whatever TB I choose. I'd just roll up and say I had 12 orders for cm0002 LMAO
No one ever said anything until the one time i pushed my luck and had it generate 24 tacos, then the manager was like "Better not be this high again, I'm cool with the 12"
-
That's a cool manager.
-
I’m cool with the 12”
hehe. That's what he said.
-
-
That's kind of like going up to a display that says "free sample - one per customer" and taking several samples. And doing so on a first date, like: this is who I am. It's not really bad or anything, it's just... kind of weird and embarassing.
-
Someone who does not appreciate those who steal from exploitative global corporations, is not someone worth knowing.
-
Maybe not something you show off on the first date. Got to lay down the Marxist theory first.
-
I can appreciate those who steal from corporations but I sure as hell don't want to implicate myself by being with them when they do it lol
A guy I hung out with in college told me about all the ATMs he stole and asked if I wanted to go with him next time.. I said maybe another time and then never spoke to him again. I didn't want to be associated with him when he eventually got busted...which he did...
-
I don't know the details of these nuggets, but I'm guessing they used multiple sessions to use a coupon code multiple times or something of the sort. More just exploiting a poorly set up system than theft.
Stealing ATMs is significantly different and definitely more illegal in my mind.

The entire reason the McDonald's app exists is so McDonald's can have variable prices to rip you off based on what they learn about your habits.
I hardly classify using their services in unintended ways as "stealing".

If tech went down for six months, they'd offer you a discount for hopping on one leg while rubbing your stomach and patting your head.
Besides data collection, the main purpose is to get more money out of people willing to pay more without missing out on people who won't pay that much.
It's tiered pricing where they're fine with you selecting a tier, as long as they steer enough to the higher one l.

i can't help but think that if your first date with someone is drive thru mcdonalds, maybe that should have been the first clue
-
My first date with my girlfriend was at a Wendy's and we took the bus to get there. That was 2005. We got married in 2009 and just celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary. It doesn’t matter where you go or how much you spend, it just matters who you’re there with.
-
If your first date is a glorious scam heist, the future looks promising
Maybe don't order carnist options though
-
Nuggies are breaded, not just meat, so this is omnivorous not carnist.
-

-
What am I missing? Is there a “free 10 nuggets, 1x per customer” kind of thing going on?
-
When you sign up on the app as a new user that's exactly it.
-
Someone else posted something about the price being different based on your user profile/purchase history, so maybe having three logins, they can't build up a proper profile.
Or they have a "limit 10 per customer" thing?
-
-
I hope a shit ton of folks do this and they only lose money with the apps. they are bullshit.
-
The only downside I'm seeing is that now you have 30 nuggets.
-
stuffs deep fried chicken paste in mouth
your loss !
-
Knickers dropping.
-
Honestly dodged a bullet.
-
Everyone boo this woman.
-
wow i used to know this guy
-
I agree with the girl. If you're willing to steal from a McDonalds, what else are you scheming and how long until those scheme involve me? Theft is theft and I'd want nothing to do with it.
Edit. I don't care about McDonalds, I care about the lads moral compass and how he is willing to show off his "trick" to a first date and just drag her into a scheme. At least wait a while to say "what if we made 3 accounts and just got 3 orders of the $1 nugget deal?"
If the date is cool with it, great f* big corp. If not, you know she's got morals that don't perfectly align with yours - which is okay, as long you respect that and figure it out.
I'll stand by my statement "theft is theft", but I myself also won't deny having some morally gray online activities. However, I wouldn't want to have a first movie date through a movies123 clone. First impressions are key.
-
Agree and disagree. His "schemes" are going to be more like: "drive me around on Halloween while I run up to the storefront and take all the candy left out for kids!"
-
Theft is theft
Fucking bootlickers... 🙄
-
-
Definitely not theft by any meaningful definition
-
If you think that someone "stealing" 30 chicken nuggets from a company worth over 200 billion dollars is somehow an indication that they must also treat their loved ones poorly, you're thinking far too simply about the complexity of human motivation. Amazingly, exploiting soulless corporations and hurting people are completely unrelated behaviors.
-
Oh no! Someone stole from a multi-billion dollar global company! That very same company who wouldn't hesitate a second if it could make money murdering you without consequence! How dare they!
-
Do you think if I googled "McDonald's wage theft" it would come up with some stories?
...now you might say "two wrongs don't make a right to thins".... But what if I could then find similar scams and problems centered around exploitation in all billion dollar companies or billionaire rises to power.
Now what if I could then trace these stories back through time and find many billionaires come from wealthy families, and many wealthy families have ties to even more dubious and exploitative practices throughout history.
...from things like America's wars for banana republics or fascists in Latin America, to things like The Triangle Shirtwaist fire maybe even some going back through WW1 & 2, or slavery and colonization.
So it's also a question of what is wrong in the world at large and how to resolve or replace it.
P.S Obviously this assumes those chickens wanted to be nuggets. Turns out moral philosophy is just more difficult than "what's wrong is wrong".
-
But who steals from the thieves?
-
the cops
-

-
Maybe she's not that into nuggets.
