Free Fast Food

Fast food. It's not that expensive, but sometimes you just don't have the cash right?

There's a couple of ways to do this. If you're not feeling confident then what you do is this:

Call your favorite fast food joint and ask to speak to the manager. Get his/her name. When they get on the phone tell them that your wife/husband came through the drive through and the order was missing some items. (name the items you want but I'd make them fairly common if you want to assure success)

Then ask if you can come back and get them. (make sure you say "come back"; it helps reinforce the lie)

Usually the manager's not going to want to argue or debate, or even question you at all. Most of them are trained that the customer is always right, and is there anything more ridiculously untrue than that?

Then head on up there and get your free meal.

You can probably repeat this if you don't do it too often, and just check to make sure you're not getting the same manager. If you were going to push the line on this one I'd just start hitting different restaurants.

The variation on this is to just skip the phone call and walk on in, tell the story about your wife going through the drive thru. Your only worry will be if the manager then consults with the drive-thru person or the cooks, and they remember no such woman.

They probably won't call you on this, but if you make the phone call ahead of time then the manager will already be primed to expect your arrival.

Happy eating!
