A little light reading while you wait 20 minutes for your McFood because nobody wants to waste their life being abused for hunger wages by a literal clown.

This was hung up in plain sight next to the registers at the McDonald’s along I-80 in Winnemucca NV. Name and shame

      You know how some shops that have loyalty programs? Get points when you spend money in a shop that kind of thing. The fraud is when a customer whom does not have a loyalty card is served by a cashier who does have a loyalty card and the cashier swipes their own card to get the points. The t&C of the card likely says the person who spends the money is the one entitled to the points.

      I put it under the category of victimless crime because the points are made up and the only real loss is the corporation running the program and fuck those programs.

        Oh no, also they don’t get the valuable customer data they were looking for either. That’s the whole point of those cards, to track their customers better.

        I worked with someone who did this for 2 years before getting caught. They raked up over $3000 worth of store credit. Got caught when they used some of it in front of another employee, and that employee snitched.

        But for real I hate loyalty programs. They data mine the hell out of loyal customers and offer pennies in return if you’re lucky.

          Yeah, the unspoken rule is to NEVER give any cashier your email address when asked to sign up for something.
