My mate and I went through the drive through at Macca's and just asked for 2 free waters. However the nub working there didn't record it or whatever since it was free.

Anyway as we pull up to the window where they give you the food the lady handed us a cup which my mate gave to me, i took a sip and realised that it was Coke. So we decided to wait a bit to see if we'd get given anything else. The lady then handed us a bag and we drove off instantly, I then looked in the bag and inside it was 2 large chips and a Grand Angus burger :). Obviously we had gotten the person behind us' food

Epic Win :D
 
Thief.....and no doubt if it was your order that was given to someone else you'd be abusing some poor teenager...

At work today, I discovered there's a payphone in the lobby that has free long distance.

KEVIN

Oh, so what did you do?

GENE

I called the phone company an' immediately reported the error.

KEVIN

Nice.

A family member and I had a proper epic win a few months ago.

We were buying 10 boxes of seafood from a large supermarket at $75 each. When we picked it up the deli lady gave us a piece of paper with a barcode sticker on with the price per box and x10 written next to it in big letters.

So we get to the checkout and the middle aged lady scans the sticker:

Her: $75 please

Us: No that's not right

Her: (getting defensive straight away) Yes it is! I scanned the sticker.

Us: No but look... we've got 10 of them (show her our trolley with 10 big boxes clearly stacked in it)

Her: (getting grumpy) Look! The sticker says $75 ok?

Us: (showing her the piece of paper again) But look... she's written x10 next to the sticker...

Her: (cutting us off and getting quite condescending) Look I assure you that's the right price OK!! The computer automatically scans the sticker OK!!

Us: (shrug) Ok if you say so...



Net result $750 worth of seafood for $75. And it's not like we didn't try our best to be honest. If the lady didn't have such an attitude she might have actually listened to us.

Some people like to be honest.

I've had things like that happen to me a few times but I'll let them know too.
 
The best epic wins at fast food stores is when they screw your order up and you go back and say this isn't what I ordered and they let you keep that burger plus your actual order. It might not be the right burger but a free burger is a free burger.

Win in my book.

It was over seven hundred dollars of seafood. It's a bit different to getting an extra burger by accident from McDonald's.


Which is about the only epic win I've had. Ordered a medium grand angus burger, got a free quarter pounder thrown in. It was win at the time, but massive regrets not long after.
 
The other day I tested a grape at the supermarket. It was really nice but then I remembered I had grapes at home anyway.

The result:

1 free grape.

Epic win :D

But then you add in fuel costs, car degradation, time wastage, occasionally losing small bits of money, own bodily depreciation (unnecessary grape testing grinding your leg cartilage up), exposure to skin cancer from going outside and to the supermarket, possible virus exposure socially or from the unclean and possibly previously fondled grape.

And your in the negative. Sorry :p

Not to mention shedding all those skin cells, that shit is valuable.
 
Yesterday I went the Maccas drive through and ordered an Angus burger meal. When I got to the window the chick gave me the chips and drink and told me that there was a wait for the burger so I pulled over in the waiting bay. A few minutes later a different person came out and gave me the burger plus the chips and drink again.:thumbsu:
 
When I'd just arrived in the UK and was doing it tough money wise with the exchange rate, I lobbed up to an ATM with about 300 quid sitting in the machine.

I looked around to see if anyone owned it but there was no one about. So like any good Londoner I put it straight in my skyrocket and scarpered. Nice little earner.:thumbsu:
