food for free

[Defiance]

Fast food restaurants, while unhealthy and never provide as good a meal as a full fledge restaurant, make for easy targets for a social engineering attack and can mean free food to anyone who's willing.

There are two ways I use to acquire free food in these restaurants, all of which require a receipt.

To get a receipt, check in after the lunch rush. This could mean hundreds of orders that have to be filled in the period of 5 minutes, so most places will not snooping around or will be tired from the rush to even care. After the lunch rush most people either throw the reciept out with the food, or let it fall to the ground somewhere.

Check to see if the reciept says "drive-through" or what not. If it does, skip to the second one. If it doesn't, stick to method one and two. Also take note- some places mark their receipts for "here" and "to go". If it's marked for "here" then you have to use method 2.

Method 1 - Ask to see a manager. When he comes up, angrily, but NOT too angrily, make a complaint that you bought some food on the run here and had to take it straight back to your job. After getting there and unpacking the food, you realize something is wrong with it. For chicken, say you took a bite into it and it was undercooked and tasted rancid. If it's cheeseburgers or subs or sandwhiches, simply state that you had REQUESTED a topping to be missing because you're allergic to it. The person behind the counter forgot or misunderstood and added it to the food anyway. Make sure you make it sound like you couldn't eat the food, not just didn't like it. This method is the hardest because you're face to face with the manager and need to work it smoothly. Since this is an easy SE though I think it's very good practice for SEing in person. Claim you never got to eat lunch and you were hoping you could get the problem rectified. Give them the reciept. Remember- order exactly whats on the reciept as if you order it all the time. Don't try changing it, as it raises suspicion. You should get a free meal to go. Make sure it's to go, or the manager will pay you more kind attention and learn your face.

Method 2- This method can be used for ALL reciepts, including ones marked for "eating in". On the bottom of all reciepts from fast food restaurants, there should be a phone number for the store. Call it and ask for the manager. Explain to him exactly what you would if you were doing method 1. If the reciept is marked "for here" than throw in a quick bit about how you were going to return the food then for a new one, but with the long lines and short time you had to get back to your job. Say you'll be by in five minutes to pick up the food and was hoping you can get it replaced.

Method 2 is always more secure. If you're found out, you can drive away. You rarely are though. Drive through people rarely look at people's faces so they won't remember you. There's less time and space to ask questions about you, so they have to take the story at face value. On top of this, if you simply wait 5 minutes after calling it makes it look more like you are really coming from the job where, poor you, you couldn't eat your lunch for the day.

note: i personally wouldn't use this form of social engineering unless i was in a complete state of hunger, otherwise i'd use other ways to find food. some may not have a problem with this, but i, for one, just hate lying to people.

but i, for one, just hate lying to people. me too

but i've found you call the number on the back of the reciept, and tell them the food sucked they'll send you a coupon for any free item.or you can order a burger without something on it like ketchup. take those ketchup packets put it on and bring it back in the bag with the fries you order, they'll often give you new fries and burger. so of course you'll eat some of the first fries then return them.


also another way is to go through the drive thrue tiwce with two different drivers. first time at the drive up order a expenisve burger. then next time get the cheapest burger. go into the sotre with the cheap burger and expnsive reciept and say you got the wrong thing. of course after you've takin a bite out of it "cuz you didn't check". now you've gotten a good third of the cheap bruger and an expensive burger for what like .80$

[Defiance]

those methods are better, i think.

i dunno if i could be bothered with all that, but its good nonetheless. what friends of mine have done is snoop around the bins say outside a pizza joint and looked for partly eaten mouldy garlic bread and gone in and complained about how theyd all taken a piece, bitten into it, and discovered it was mouldy and yuck. and then they get a free pizza. it does involve a fair bit of searching through gross rubbish bins for the 'perfect' item of food though

[djtannerandthefullhouse]

this method is easy and 85% of the time it works take tw0 cars thru the drive thru have the first car place an order(make sure there are more cars preferabbly 2 or 3 in front of the first car so the have time to make the order)have the first car order an ample amount of food but dont overdue it!the second car make a small cheap order. when the first car gets to the window they drive off and and the second car pulls up 9 times out of 10 they will give you the first cars order for free when you tell them they drove off,working in the resturant indutsry we do this all the time(give peoples order from an impatient customer to someone else most employee's dont like just throwing the food away)P.S. this has never failed at a taco bell! hope that was helpfull

I know that Chevron gas stations with little delis inside throw out their pizza and other foods around 7-8:30. If you have an aquantince that can get you the food, it is whole pizzas and burgers for free.

[Livetrueordie]

go into a Dunkin Donuts at night and they'll give you anything for free as long as they don't have to make it. and fast food restaruaunts throw away anything given back, find a friend that works their to get you those after closing. Not the best for your health though.

[OkaCrisis]

I have a friend who developed this scam, and all you need is a phonebook, not a reciept!

1. Look up the number to whatever fast-food place is close, and that you want to eat.
2. Call them saying that you ordered 2 meals, got home and realised that they'd only given you one.
3. Ask them if it is worth your time to go all the way back over there to pick up your second meal. They'll ask for your name, give it to them, and go over there and get a free meal!

They will ask about a receipt, but say that you threw it out. This works especially well if over the phone, when they ask, pretend like a friend of yours is looking for it, and have that friend say "no, I can't find it!" loudly enough for them to hear on the phone.

This method works at all fast food places, from the comfort of your own home. Enjoy!

i developed this for high-school kids:

If the lunch line is very crowded at your school, and it moves slowly, simply eat your food whilst in the line. when you finish, go sit at a table.

[Livetrueordie]

your school just suffers when you steal from them like that..

I do that all the time. :)

These are the same schools that are brainwashing you to become just like everybody else, the same school funded by the state.

..i don't get it?

Schools funded by the "state" is the way they should be... you do understand it is your tax dollars which pay for that meal, which could go towards improving the school. Schools aren't the enemy, politicians are the one's brainwashing. Oh and what about Math, Language, and health classes which don't have hidden curriculums. Also most working parents are reliant on schools for daycare.
Fight the crooks not the children.

Ha! I work at a family restaurant and know how to get free food. I'm a dishwasher and sometimes I'll get a pizza pan back with some uneaten pieces of pizza and I'll have some of that or when I go downstairs to the freezer to get dough for the pizza guys I'll steal some pepperoni slices for myself.

At squels when you buy their lunch you often have to stand in a long line, pick up your food, then wait in line to pay. What is being proposed here is that in time between when you get your food and pay , you should eat it and thus get it for free. This doesnt work at my squel though, since the buffet thing is really small.

If you have an aquantince that can get you the food, it is whole pizzas and burgers for free.

This is by far the best method - simply put, most places bin so much food that it sickens me to the pit of my stomach. I'm not the most ecologically friendly person in the word, but I'd never throw away edible food - it's just plain wrong!

If you live near somewhere that you know regularly disposes of large quantites of food, often you can strike a deal with them to get it on the cheap or even gratis - after all, it's just waste to them and more often than not staff couldn't give a rat's ass - after all, we're little more than slaves. Make a friend of whoever runs the shop on a day to day basis and you're laughing - there's no need for deception: the majority of folks even in this selfish consumerist world are more than willing to help others simply for a bit of conversation. :)

Best bit is, you're the one initiating the conversation - so you can practice useful social engineering whilst you're at it and try to drive a wedge into their mind :D

i was a like daytime manager(dont worry i never had a increased pay over anyone nor did i yell at any one..i work just as hard as the worker)lol at a restraunt..and i would just eat what ever i wanted..id just fuckin make it and shit...if any one asked id make them sumthing too.. in turn we were all happy eating for free..moral of the story? fuck buisnesses :rolleyes:

Now Chevrons try to throw out their food around 6-7. Avoid the Hot Dogs and Twisters. They are reported to cause very bad food poisoning.

The pizza is rather good, and the trash cans they are disposed in are usually clean.
