if you need free fast food, there are a few tricks:
- Go late, ask for extra. Many times, there isn’t a night manager, and if it’s within 30 minutes of close, anything they give you is less for them to have to throw away and whatnot. They don’t care and you’re hungry. The worst they can say is “no” and then you still have the food you ordered. It works if you purchase some food and then just say that if they have anything else back there that they can throw in the bag, it’d be awesome.
- Busy mixup. If there is a huge line, order the sandwich only of a meal and then as long as they don’t ask if you want the meal, just say that you ordered the meal when you only get your sandwich. If it’s busy enough, they will often times just give you the drink and fries for free rather than have to slow down the line and deal with it. It works best at Burger King because of the setup of the order line and pickup area.
- Food additives. Burger King uses wax pencils to mark special orders on wrappers. Get a black wax pencil and peel off some of the pencil and put it in half of your sandwich. Go up and ask for a new sandwich after you’ve eaten about half of yours. 1.5 sandwiches for the price of 1. A little better!
Another thing that I found to work was to go through the drive-thru when it is super busy. I have found this to only work in the businesses with two windows, one for payment and the other for the food. When you order just tell them you want a water. Usually they won’t ring you up and thus you won’t have a ticket like everyone else in line. The person giving you the food will usually forget and you will get the order of the person behind you. Another trick for the drive thru is to order your food as normal then com back a few minutes later telling them they didn’t give you your sandwhich or tell them that it’s cold. This also helps if it’s busier than hell.
