i did that all the time at my first job (Wendy's), until I learned that a single extra nugget actually really really hurts how much money the managers come home with. a devastating amount, truly.
well, they acted like it. π

Then you started adding two nuggets, right?
That sounds like something a velociraptor would say. Sus.
As an aside, my Gboard absolutely 100% did not want me to type "velociraptor." Is Google promoting revisionist prehistory?
Thank you for noticing, velociraptors were my favourite dinosaurs from kid's encyclopedia and I couldn't remember how they're called.
Happy to be of service!
A velociraptor would never eat or promote eating chicken, that would be like promoting, idk, eating your own cousin (the one you don't see since that last Thanksgiving, some years ago, when your uncle (their father) started talking about how dinosaurs don't exist because earth is 2000 years old, got kicked from your house and decided to cut ties).
Edit: don't use gboard, use thumb-key. Best keyboard ever (once you learn it) and easy to use single handed ~~with even less than 5 fingers~~
Please disregard that last part of the sentence, I'm not suggesting anything like having less than the usual 5 fingers a human hand has.
I know (or at least have heard from Jurassic Park) that velociraptors were smart, but I'm not sure they'd understand evolutionary theory. Though perhaps this post disproves my theory ...
I'll look into your recommended keyboard, having the standard number of human fingers, thank you.
You don't have to encourage me, I'm already doing it
You don't have to encourage me
Sometimes people tell me "never mind" but it is too late. I have already minded.
I put free credits in the machines at the arcade where I work because I like to see the little kids get excited when they find a machine is already loaded.
First one free, make 'em come back for more.
I've said it two times (in different ways) in this comment section, but that's a fitting username for this comment.
Never thought of it that way. I did once put $50 worth of tokens into a Jurassic Park machine that no one ever plays. Just to watch it get some love for a few hours.
Not actual money. I just went into the management screen and added the credits.
I took my kids to a nickel arcade, and it turns out that many of the games there only exist to dispense "tickets" that they can convert to rewards at the counter. Everything is digital now, so it's not nearly as satisfying as it was when I was a kid. My kids blew through their allotment and when they compared their tickets to things they wanted, they added some of their own money to get up to a specific ticket amount to get the thing they wanted.
At that point it's basically gambling, because the conversion of nickels to tickets is largely chance-based. So loading a game w/ free tokens that dispenses tickets may lead to gambling issues if the kid would otherwise play non-ticket games.
It's a bit of a stretch, and I still think OP is a pretty decent human.
Delightfully devilish anon
Ho ho ho ho ho
I used to feel SO FUCKING LUCKY to get that extra mcnugget though
I feel equally as angry if they shorted me one.
Chaotic evil: only put it in one kids bag when thereβs an order for two kids and watch them fight over it.
True Chaotic Evil:
2 extra nuggets for one kid, 1 short for the other.
Let the games begin.
Thatβs easier to rectify. The parent will just take one and give it to the other so thereβs an equal amount. But with an odd number you either have to go Solomon or pick a kid, or eat it yourself and draw both their ire.
That's the kind of sacrifice I will take upon myself if it can teach my kids a lesson.
Better yet, give them the option on how to deal with it, and if they can't reach a deal in some time frame, eat it yourself. Throwing it in the trash makes them both feel like nobody wins, but me eating it means I win and they both lose.
Fuck the milgram experiment i wanna watch this!
Devilish: in order to brighten a child's life, deliberately steal resources from your corporate masters, torturing their knighted/blessed control and absolute authority over all of society.
Turns out Satan was the good guy this whole time
He thought it was his lucky day, but it was me, Dio!
that stuff used to make my day, also its good for the place too because I would go there again, thinking it was more common in this shop, maybe.
