#80 McDonald’s Wizard
Remember those coffee reward cards at McDonald’s that they stickered every time you bought a coffee? Well, my father would buy coffees until the card was filled out with stickers, go through the drive-thru, tell them that he had the card for the free coffee, order something else, then talk to them a little bit. He would pay for the food he ordered, then the drive-thru person would say bye, and he’d drive away. They would almost always forget to ask for the card.
And if they did, he’d give it to them, simple as that. He’d take the sticker from his free drink and put it on another card. I remember he had a stash of about a dozen of those cards, completely filled out. He did this every morning. He eventually met everyone that worked there and made casual conversations with them to distract them even further.
It really just goes to show how far you can get with a little distraction. I don’t think this works now as they switched from stickers to stamps.
