Depends on your version of food. I'm basically starving in that area

>>10167180
I'm like allergic to undistilled vinegar. I can eat foods containing distilled vinegar, but not rice vinegar, white vinegar, etc.

Both were pretty awesome. I haven't returned the favor back to anyone yet, but I do good deeds when I can. I have multiple other stories of getting free food back when I worked my first two jobs, but they were fast food and it came with the territory. There was this one time when taco bell handed me and a buddy of mine a 12 taco box when we only ordered two tacos.

There used to be a pizza joint in my town owned by a local mobster/drug dealer and for some reason he was totally fine with teenagers hanging out in the back playing Xbox all day if you bought a $2 slice. We would hang out and my friends house down the road, smoke a bunch of pot and then go hang out at the pizzeria. Around 9pm when he was getting ready to close he would give us a bunch of free pizza.

He sold us weed a few times. Place closed down after 2 or 3 years. Cool guy, got in trouble for leaving bullets in his driveway and a kid took one and hit it with a hammer and shot himself in the face.

> be me > suck own cawk > swallow cum > 10/10 flavour everytime > mfw its free too

>>10168282
As a bartender, I can confirm this to be true. I usually try to buy a customer a drink if they had 3 or 4 and treated me nicely during their stay.

>order food

>I come back in two minutes later
>hey you didn't give me my crunchwrap supreme!
>sorry kid here's on on us.

every time.

one time I made the trip to portland to go to voodoo doughnuts at 4 am we arrived and explained why we were there, we were just looking for a trip, portland's fun.
The people working at the doughnut place were all ultra hipsters, but pretty cool guys. we got to talking and then they ended up giving us 3 five gallon buckets filled with that days doughnuts that were going to go in the trash.

It was really cool actually.

>>10170429
Is the standard tip a dollar per beer?

I feel like that's pretty usual, but the bartenders at the dive bar I sometimes frequent seem to be so thankful when i leave a fiver after having five beers, like I'm tipping more than usual or something.

>>10170535
is it really that good? i've lived near portland for nearly a decade and it just seemed like the line wasn't worth it for doughnuts

>>10170556
No it's not that good, it's a meme, but the atmosphere is wildly cool (not just the shop the surrounding area) and the joint is legendary in it's own right. It's like visiting a monument rather than eating the food.

I mean it's just doughnuts anon, not a big deal at all.

Kid only got hit by the casing not the actual bullet but yeah its true. Shot right through his lip and knocked his teeth out.

To be honest the guy might have been a pedo or a wannabe pedo but I never found out for sure. He always wanted us to bring girls over so we did, we were 14-16. I think he was too fat to molest anybody though. If one of those bitches got the italian sausage then I would say it was worth it for all the free pizza.

dummys hand me food without ringing me up
pause for 2 seconds and think about not paying. smile and tell them to have a nice day

>>10170590
Never. Fuck that. It's fun to visit, hell to live in.

Went to Wendy’s and got a few sammiches and fries. Use gift card to pay. They swipe it and hand me my food. Leave and look at my receipt later. Not only did they not charge me, they put the amount of money my order was for back onto the card. This has happened more than once lol

>>10170547
That's the standard if you're not a total cheapskate. Unfortunately a lot of people are so when someone actually knows how to tip they're appreciative

>>10168013
that's a good fucking story mate, just a fantastic interaction.

I know a guy from Antigua who smashed a bullet with a hammer and shot himself in the stomach. He told his parents some black guy ran by and shot him. Later his dad found the evidence of what he was doing and confronted him. We always say his full name with a B. before it. Whenever people ask what the B stands for we tell them bullet. The guys dad never even told the cops that he did it to himself. It went unsolved.

To be honest, I rarely eat at BK now. I think I have tasted every single meal from them. I still go for their salads and shakes.

Thankfully my Pizza Hut has Pzone's, and their pasta is serviceable enough (I usually add a few spices).

>>10170547
Not him, but this
>>10170812 is accurate. If its not super busy, we do take mental notes of who tips well and often, and they will get their drink faster than others, especially if the customer is polite. The fastest way to get a beer (where im from) is to leave your empty beer bottle or glass close to the rail and be patient. Its the first place we are trained to scan for refills. Bonus points if you have money on the bar. If a tender walks past, a simple "excuse me, may i have another" will get the job done. Never whistle at me like im a fucking dog or bang your bottle on the bar hoping to get another one. Thats the fastest way to get served LAST.

Treat us right and we will treat you right.

It's a comfy place. I'm a barfly by nature, so it works out well. Also, the older mexican waitress and cook always bring me food they made at home because they've taken a liking to me and love to show off how great their cooking is. Shit is delicious. Also, any fucked up food orders or drinks that were made by accident generally go straight to me.

he's right tho

went to a mcdonald's that had two drive thrus for some reason, finished my order before the other guy and pulled ahead first, I pay at the first window, didn't react to the total I was given because I wasn't paying attention and realize I just paid for that other guy's order. I tell them this and the manager was called over and she just voided my payment and promo'd out what I actually ordered 100%. I went to the pickup window and the guy tried to give me the wrong food then I had to tell him which check number I had on my receipt, if that helped at all, and he just stared at me confused like he wasn't used to using check numbers at all, as if he just bagged random shit and handed it out the window all day and felt like that was his job. it felt like nobody working in there knew what they were doing at all. i'm not even sure why they kept both drive thrus opened if they couldn't keep track of orders. they must have all been new.

lame story I know.

I felt pretty proud of myself. Nobody had ever offered me drugs before. Made me feel like a normie.

>>10174733
I dont expect a dollar for opening a beer. Just nice to see it. But when you order something that takes a bit to do like make a bloody mary, a special drink with 3+ different kinds of booze, or a line of shots with all different booze, I usually expect some kind of tip.

How about you actually work a 12 hour shift in my shoes and see all the bullshit i have to deal with that a customer doesnt see? People who are shitty tippers or dont tip at all often times never worked a day in the service industry.

>>10177991

It's hilarious how people do unnecessary extra things for you just because they're helping you out with something else. I bet if you choked on your food at a different restaurant every night, the people who administered heimlich would pay for your food and give you anything else you asked for just because you made them feel like a hero.
