I went to Wendy's some time in the last couple weeks. I usually pay for food with cash. That's how I attempt to stay on budget.

Anyway, I noticed Wendy's held their card scanner machine out the window so no one had to handle cash, change or even the credit/debit card besides you. I paid that way and you don't have to enter your pin or anything.

Last Tuesday I went to Taco Bell since they had the free dos Doritos tacos. When I got to the window I asked if their card machine would reach the window. They freaking loaded me up with my requested fire sauce (had to use a separate bag) and gave me an extra Dorito taco and an extra regular taco.

Saturday I went to Popeyes and did the same thing. They loaded me up with honey and hot sauce in addition to an extra wing. I ordered the two piece white with fries.

These people don't want to touch your stuff any more than you want them to touch your stuff. Both the Bell and Popeyes chicks seemed very happy to find out that the machines would hang out the window a couple feet.

The Popeyes chick really lit up. She will probably be a vice president at corporate because of me.

Or too poor to eat well. Either way, that’s no way to go through life.

Is it free food or extra food?

I didn't want people touching my stuff. They didn't want to touch it either apparently and gave me free food for giving them a possible life saving idea.


Fast food restaurants don’t just give away free food without approval from the manager. If they did that would be theft.

If they gave you extra sauce or honey that’s not food.

Yeah that's why I am eating out when I want and you are cowering at home like a homo trying to avoid the AIDS.



You’re not eating out, you’re driving through the drive through

Oh and btw, doesnt your little podunk town have any food delivery apps?

Sounds like a coincidence that it happened twice. Highly doubt I can just ride around town recommending that to fast food joints and rack up in free food.




If they don't reach the machine out the window I would tell them for safety purposes. No guarantee of free food but still better than the alternative unless they change gloves after every customer - which they don't.

I just sweet talk the girls at Popeye’s, they’ll always throw in an extra tender or two...

I read this entire thread and I'm not grasping how this relates to free food. Because you talked to the person or something?


Even with Ree’s reply to your post I am lost as to where the free food comes into play? I guess because he’s being considerate and swiping his own card they are being nice and tossing him an extra wing or something? That’s all I got.

Crazy to think that was the beginning of texting on flip phones.

The Blackberry was all the rave
