All You Can Eat
“A few summers ago, I was working on a construction site near a McDonalds and we would go there semi-regularly for lunch. This was the same year that Mcdonalds started mobile ordering, and it started while we were working there. Now, the owner of the local franchise is cheap and never participates in any promotional pricing. Unfortunately for him, whoever set up the mobile ordering menu didn’t properly turn off the promotional items for this particular restaurant.
Rather than removing them from the menu, they set the price to $0. This meant that you could get mcdoubles, mcchickens, big mac, large fries, and QPC all for free…The only catch was that you couldn’t actually make a $0 order, the app wouldn’t allow it, so you had to buy a $1 drink or something. The whole crew ate for almost free for nearly a month before they noticed.”
Parking Policy
U/Ticonderoga10-11: “When I was in college, a parking sticker to park your car on campus was something like $250 a semester. Senior year, we were sick of this, so I bought one, stuck it on my car…and then we took a high resolution photo of it. We edited the photo on a laptop and sent it to a sticker making company. They printed a sheet of those for like 8 bucks. We got a couple pages of stickers and gave them out to our trusted friends.
As long as no one parked illegally or next to each other on campus, there was no reason parking police would notice we had the same parking number. Never got caught and saved a ton of money because we split the price of the original sticker.”
