Have you received any fast food or other things for free, GAF?

I can't think of anything recently.

Usually I pay for something I don't get in the drive through, and don't notice until I get home and check the bag.

I once picked up this sweet bow and arrow, did a quick dodge around the cashier and left the store when he wasn't looking. I wasn't proud of myself, and everyone started calling me THIEF, but it was worth it.

I can never return to that shop.

Just this past weekend I got a Starbucks for free, too. Cashier gave me a refresher for no apparent reason. It was good.

It's happened before. Usually because they got an order wrong or something and they would just be throwing the stuff out anyhow, so they're like "Just keep it anyhow."

I've a family of five, so it's not uncommon for us to end up with an extra fry or something because they lost track.

I got a large drink from McDonalds for free because they told me the person ahead of me in the drive through didn't want it afterall (?)

Unfortunately they also still gave me the drink I ordered and I wasn't going to leave that one and demand a refund so I just had two drinks.

It was a good day.

The manager at Qdoba talked to me for a few seconds this past father's day and gave me a free drink. He mentioned that he has 8 children which blew my mind because that's a lot of kids, and he looked like he was only mid-30's or so. He said he had 3 kids in college. My reality was shattered.

I once got free Starbucks. The cashier called out my name so I grabbed my drink. Turns out I heard wrong, so I had my friend grab my real drink.

At my old job, I had been such a regular customer at the Starbucks near it that they would outright give me my venti iced coffee for free or for the price of a refill, which was 50 cents.

I got free Chick-fil-A once because the POS system wasn't working. That was a long time ago though. More recently, I went to Wendy's, and it took about twenty minutes for my food to be done, so they gave me a frosty.

A couple of months ago I was at a Nationals baseball game and the beer stand next to our seats stopped being able to take cards and I had no cash, so I ended up getting 4 free tall-boy beers. They're normally $15 a pop, so that was $60 saved. You'd think they'd have said, "Sorry only cash at this one" but the lady was like just take them lmao.

I received free food in restaurants, "on the house" thing.
They forgot to charge me for mcnuggets once, so I got that going for me I guess

I got my meal comped by the manager at Nando's because I worked next door and gave them change when they needed it.

It made me believe if you do something good, something good will come around.

Oh I also got 7 shots and a few cocktails free from the bartender because I know the bartender.

Yea one time after an exhausting trip to another city with our baby girl we were drinking outside at a restaurant during the afternoon to cool it down and one lady beside us paid and left...then 5 minutes later the waiter said she paid our drinks. She didn't even said a word to us. Was weird but god it brightened the day.

I've had people ahead of me in a drive through pay for my drinks at Starbucks before, apparently that's a thing some people sometimes do.

As someone who has worked behind the counter of a Sbux, we try pretty hard to ensure customers have a good experience. We're not stingy with the free drinks.

I once had a line of 11 cars all pay for the people behind them. Shit's crazy sometimes.

Red Robin gave my credit card to someone else, so the manager apologized and offered a free burger and appetizer on my next visit.

So my wife and I went and we got 2 burgers and appetizer.. the order came back wrong, so she offered us a free dessert.

By the time dessert arrived, she informed us their credit card machine was down and the manager was closing for the day and our meal would be complimentary.
