Ngl I work in McDonald's in UK and if a customer said you forgot my large fries or Drink then Its literally store policy to just give the customer it no questions asked. Try to go when it's busy tho so people are rushing and they can't be bothered to check.

[@MRMcNUGGET15]

I was in a McDonald’s the other day waiting for my food and I saw the guy at the drive through tap on the window and say they forgot his fries. I watched the workers check and openly say amongst themselves “he didn’t order any fries” still gave the guy fries lol

Massive fan of both Jack and Simon, loved the podcast

[@TheRSGarage]

I started a startup and with funds being tight, I was trying to do the conference thing without spending $2k per ticket. I did one conference that was $3k to attend, but turned up to ticket collection day and grabbed a lanyard and it looked like I was getting my ticket/ badge. I made sure a lot of people saw me too, introduced myself loudly to a few people, security saw me etc. The conference was at a hotel and I spent the whole 3 days there, had my lanyard hanging out of my suit jacket pocket and no one questioned it. I was invited to people's tables for the dinner events and even ended up at the after party after the main keynote with all of the hosts! I was so skint I relied on the sponsors events in the evening and invites I'd blagged during the day to get any food for the day! Must have saved myself about 5k on that trip. 😂😂

I’ve worked in 3 hotels in the past 3 years so I can help a little I feel. Always pick bigger hotels, less of a chance people realize they don’t recognize you. My hotel now has 53 rooms and i at least vaguely remember every guest until they leave. Pick a corporate hotel like holiday inn, sleep inn etc. My resort gives out bright wristbands to guests because of us being a literal beach resort and we already are busy enough before the people that don’t pay. Very rarely do us small resorts give out free nights or fully refund, there has to be a big issue. I worked at a Sleep Inn and a Country Inn and the corp offices gave those out Willy nilly. Always be overly nice when you walk in. We hate people who complain and get mad over small things off the jump. If you walked into me at the desk and were overly nice and asking baseline questions, I’ll genuinely not give a fuck what you do on property because we rarely get nice people.

The only problem with this is, hotels do this as they don't want to harass their guests, the idea is they trust and are nice to their guests so they come back, but the more people that do this it breaks the trust, so you are kind of breaking the system, it will end up with hotels having to check everyone's receipts, you end up creating a world with no trust where every receipt/pass gets checked. But companies account for these losses even if it people scamming them, because its better to trust the customer even if they are lying, but once it happens enough they end up having to have fraud/scammer departments to catch people out.
