MCDONALD'S MCDONALD'S MCDONALD'S

[@mega3064]

As someone who worked at a fast food place for a loooooong time, can confirm each shift had several fast food friends that we gave extra food to.

[@ahobbit1273]

Mega Wow, I worked at a fast food place for three years and I can’t imagine being allowed to get away with that

[@heliveruscalion9124]

Yo if you were an employee would you get in trouble for like eating a large fry without paying

[@Chris_Meade]

@@heliveruscalion9124 depends on the store. My McDonalds didnt care if we grabbed food that was about to be thrown out. Of course you get sick of it after like 3 days of working there

[@Wanderingcryptids]

I have 3 starbucks friends in different locations and once in a while i go to pay and they are like, "Nononononono." And it makes my whole day. They are cool people.

[@laurenyork6095]

I'm a barista and 1, we're technically allowed to do that sometimes, and 2, if someone does that for you, you're one of their favorite regulars.

[@lizzmickcarcass]

When my barista buds try to give me the hookup bypassing my payment I do take the coffee but I also feel slightly guilty....

[@dumbalek6001]

I had a dream that I did some chores for Justin and he paid me in doing a bit which was "You know spagiotto balls? Those balls in spaghetto? This, but it's wasabi" And I laughed so hard in dream I woke up

[@AnnabellaRedwood]

How cool! 🙂

[@lyricperson24]

my mom informed me that when she used to work at cici’s pizza she had friends who worked at sonic and they would wait for the manager to leave and they’d call up their friends and basically trade food

[@Table_knife]

is there a limit to the the "unlimited slices" deal?

[@lensflare5891]

One time I stole a 4 pack of nuggets from mcdonalds because I accidentally pulled up to the second window instead of the first one. I think it's a 'just give the food to the guy when he pulls up' situation, so beware of food pirates for sure.

[@Aesthetomancer]

Lens flare you monster

[@SunBleachedGhost]

That's absolutely not how the McDonalds I work at works, if you accidentally pull up to the second window, we will still make you pay

[@redxp0p]

Brandon Raybuck Dude *we*? ARE YOU RONALD?!

[@chrislaf]

I worked at a DUnkin Donuts and I can confirm that when things happen like Justin dipping out of the line for lack of wallet, it does screw up the queue. We'd prefer if you at least stay in line, tell us at the window "Yo I forgot my wallet, sorry", and then we can delete your order from the system. If you just dip its mere anarchy loosed upon our world, noone knows what's what

[@gordonmorgan3131]

this reminded me my dad has a fastfood buddy at starbucks they know his face his voice what he orders and every variant and what time of the week he gets what and how he likes it they know him.

[@Cannibal-Wings]

It's funny because my friend actually got fired for giving out one free French fry as a manager.

[@squidbit4353]

Do you mean a free french fry order or an actual single fry?

[@willionaire9737]

please respond, squidbit raised a very important point

[@Smitty_Werbluntjaegermanjensen]

My favourite part about this is that somehow the McElroy's think that a city of 3 million people wouldn't have a McDonald's when I have literally seen a McDonald's in the middle of nowhere before

[@zach2790]

I had two dunkin donuts friends who I met at dunkin donuts who hooked me up with free donuts every now and then and it is indeed magical

[@featherbird666]

shout out to my fast food friend for figuring out the manager's code that lets them give discounts and using it to give us discounts.

[@caseyhullfish1345]

i'm friends with the manager at the local dairy queen and he gave me a free blizzard and hot dog on my last day before going to college. it was magical

[@BlindErephon]

Got a free Baja Blast from my local Taco Bell one time. Thanks Taco Bell employee! You're great.

[@CallMeFreakFujiko]

Here's a little tip that may be obvious but apparently a lot of people don't know this- go to a fast food restaurant thirty minutes before close and they will give you extra of things you ordered depending on what you ordered. Like if you order a medium fry, they'll give you more than a large maybe because they can't use those fries the next day. Nuggers too.

[@cottontaelle5863]

CallMeFreakFujiko one time after a middle school band concert everyone in the band went to dairy queen (its tradition). me n like 5 other ppl were the last ones there n this guy went "im gonna get a large fries to share" so ofc none of us declined. fries. he came back w like... a chicken strip meal box fuckn overflowing with fries. five 7th graders could not finish all the fries he had to take home the fries. this is my fry story than k you for your time (edit: typo)

You might want to rethink your abbreviation for nuggets. Or at least don't use it vocally, like, out loud.

[@feedmewifi_477]

bro you can’t call them that

[@Mbeluba]

@@existenceisrelative ya got it, my nugger

[@DrowningInBasil]

As someone who worked at starbucks, they keep track of how many free drinks you give away while signed onto your till and I’ve seen baristas get fired and taken to court because they racked up 2k in losses for the company over giving out $6 of stuff a day. For reference, that’s one free drink to appease an angry customer/day. Working in the drive through you’re guaranteed to have more than one during a rush. If a barista gives you free drinks, it is with that in mind! Even knowing that I still tried to hook my regulars up on occasion

[@Dave_E_Jones]

I just wanna say, as a Canadian. Tim Hortons coffee grounds are literally old McDonald’s coffee grounds. Not taste wise, it is LITERALLY leftover McDonald’s grounds...

[@Silverwind87]

Symbiotic Relationship

[@Anafyral666]

There was a case where someone would ask for "nastyboy" and extra crispy fried for drugs

[@Discorddevil]

As someone who worked at a Sonic, when someone drives off in the drive-thru- well first this is why we read the order back to you at the window or should do so- the food that was made and not bought is often given to the employees at our employee discount price. Some fast food places allow the employees to just...have the unwanted food for free depending on the manager and how lax the company is on that. As for passing you in the fast food line when someone dips out? They're NOT SUPPOSED TO? DO THAT? Haha

[@asmrtpop2676]

i can’t imagine my manager being like ok we’ll do you want it? you get a discount but you still gotta pay. like LMAO trash it then bud-imma make sure you make zero profit off this.

[@mondolyssand6984]

i had fast food friends when i worked at starbucks, sometimes u just make a bigger drink or a free coffe and no one bats an eye and the way there face lights up just really says it all

[@ooriiaxx]

not really related but i was in montreal a while ago and i went to probably the nicest mcdonald’s i’ve ever been to. there were two floors and probably enough chairs to fit everyone in the city

[@ashling3681]

I know it’s pretty much been a year, but I think I know which McDonald’s you mean, and it does look lovely.

[@sarahwilliams8438]

The McDonald's I went to in Vienna (or maybe Rome) served cheesecake on real like, restaurant plates. That had to be washed. It was wild.

i had a fast food friend at the peets coffee i went to every day when i was in high school. it was a nice feeling :)

[@octocoq]

[@TapdotWater]

I had a few fast food friends at my local McDonald's growing up. Only ever got a single free chocolate shake because the person before me didn't want it, but it was still nice knowing people's names

[@cjgargani]

This was the best. Also, yes, fast food buddies are great.

[@madilubbe2300]

I manage a small coffee shop/ bookstore in Huntington WV called Cicada Books and Coffee. I would 100 percent make these guys a drink and let them reserve our library table for a DND session. Not necessarily a fast food friend, but a Barista Buddy if you will

Its been like over a decade since i worked at a fast food joint, but from my experience yes, people will absolutely grab just a coffee on their way to work at say a burger king.

somewhere in dallas texas is a lobster and crab food based fast food resturaunte that does serve scampi and lobster bisque thru the drive thru

[@zombieowen]

Tim Hortons coffee tastes like an ashtray.

[@Dracanius]

Having worked at a Burger King, I can tell you for a fact they do not close if they run out of beef. They just put up a sign saying we don't have any burgers just order chicken instead. And boy do people yell at you in the drive-thru for that.

[@biddyfox]

once i went to a burger king in which they: - did not have meat. like any meat. basically just chicken nuggets. - more than once gave us iced tea instead of coke. - *did not have meat.* - very long wait times at the drivethru not only that but they had started the store literally like 30 feet from a mcdonalds. at least we got our drink cups for free though

[@beatnikmary]

I lived in Montreal for several years and there was actually a dearth of Tim Horton's. It was a problem. Maybe there are more now, but when I lived there it was so hard to find any. Having said that, there were SO MANY good coffee places, there was no reason to go to McD's for coffee...I mean, unless you just really liked it. Also...petrol? You know we don't call it petrol in Canada, right? And DEFINITELY not in Montreal.

[@spehizle]

Just so y'all know, Tim Horton's coffee supplier started selling to McDonald's (at least in Canada) after Tims got bought out by an American chain which took a fucking stumpgrinder to the company and reduced the quality of fucking EVERYTHING to save cost. So in Canada, if you go to McDonald's for a coffee, it's the closest you'll get to old school Tims. No serious Canadian actually gives Tims the time of day anymore. Their coffee is atrocious, and they treat their workers like shit.

[@krell.1415]

Yeah, Burger King bought em in 2014 and everything went to garbage, stamped with the unholy nutella donut.

[@Blak2blue]

“Ran out of beef patieees.” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@versebuchanan512]

Ive done that. We just pulled into a taco bell drivethru, told the order taker that we changed our mind, then pulled up to the window and paid for the mystery meal from behind us. It was like, seven spicy potato burritos, two mexican pizzas and four Dews. It worked out pretty well, I think.

[@wilderwentzel2662]

i once went to starbucks in america and i ordered some snacks and some coffee and then my mom was like u ordered the wrong thing and i was like oh fuck and went back, my anxiety going buck wild, and i asked if i could give it back to them and get the money back (the food was still wrapped up and warm and all that, hadn’t been touched) and the dude gave me my money back AND let me keep the snack. at that moment i went god bless america and i love new york.

if I may, Tim Horton's < McCafe

[@danmacarro]

That scenario did happen to my dad. He was at a Wendy’s late so their lobby was close and some guy who I guess didn’t have a car just walked up to the drive-through window and collected my dad’s meal and he saw it happen and told the staff, and it was just sort of a oh well.

[@brooklyn9923]

I worked at a homophobic chicken and they were very strict about not being allowed to give out free food, but that may have just been our owner

[@bryanyakimets2235]

[@jessefryer5487]

I work at Wendy's and fast food friends are a thing and many people come to the drive thru asking for their sweet fast food pal

[@star2705]

As a Canadian, I cannot stress enough that McDonalds coffee is known to be better than Timmies'

[@Gettles]

No one will probably see this, but I have encountered fast food pirates. I was at a Wendy's I put in my order and as I was rounding the building to the window a jeep comes around on the out side, cuts me off and takes my spot in front of the drive through. Shit was crazy.

[@htomerif]

Yeah actually McDonalds does exactly this where I live. A lot of them have 2 drive through lanes that just arbitrarily merge. I'll order before someone but they'll pull in front of me and just get my order. I've asked the employees about it and they all say its just fuckin horrible.

[@kirstenerikapaulson2574]

Literally the way you do this is you just like....become chill with the workers at the place! Become a regular! I'm the chattiest bitch on the planet and that has paid off a lot when it comes to getting extras. There's two Starbucks near me and I will always go out of my way for one of them because I know the workers and they know me. They've given me a larger size drink before just because they know me (and on one occasion, because I commiserated with one of them about a rude ass customer). I get a coffee almost daily at the Dunkin near my house and one of the guys who works there gives me a free donut every time I come in all because I chat with him. Like, it is (theoretically) so easy to get fast food friends. You just gotta be a regular and you gotta care about them as a person, not just as the person who could hook you up!!

I mean, if anything other than gas, the quebecois would call it de l'essence, because that is french for gasoline. But, they are not real french people, so they most likely just call it gas.

I'm having issues processing payment? It's free, I don't care enough to keep trying. You meant to get a cake pop and add it at the window? You just saved over $2.
