This is a fairly
foolproof method of getting yourself a
soft drink of your choice, while
forgoing the
inconvenience of having to
exchange anything for it. It
relies on
McDonald's easily abused policy that
the customer is always right. McDonald's has learnt over the years that it costs them far less to shut you up with with a 1/2 cents worth of
carbonated water and syrup then it does to hold up the line arguing a point they
can't back up.
An Idiot's Guide To Free Beverages
1. The first item on our
free beverage agenda is to get ahold of an empty McDonalds cup. Being as you are
(I hope) in the
vicinity of a McDonald's
"Restaurant", you should have little trouble finding a discarded cup in a ditch, a trash
receptacle, or sitting on a
(preferably vacant) table. If for reasons lost to the
likes of man you are unable to procure a cup in this manner, most McDonald's (at least in
my area) provide
complimentary water in the same cups they use to serve more
expensive beverages. If all else fails, get a free water, and empty it in the trash.
2. The next step in our
Socialist plot is to get our drink. Although it's not advertised, most McDonald's offer
free refills on all beverages. (Actually, they'll give you a free refill of
anything, granted you're willing to whine and
whinge about its
quality) All you've got to do is walk up to the counter, and ask for a refill of
coke in a
new cup. The customer is always right...they won't give you a second glance.
3. The 3rd and final step is to
enjoy your beverage in the quiet knowledge that you just saved yourself
at least $1.15. Not only that, but you cost
the man TENTHS OF CENTS!
Spread the word, good
comrade.
