21 Times Restaurant Customers Tried to Cheat the System

There’s something very special about the kind of man who tries to scam a McDonald’s cashier in front of his children, only to fail miserably. A Redditor recalled the customer who, after receiving his order for two Happy Meals, claimed that one of the cheeseburgers had no meat in it. His child, having witnessed what actually happened, said, “Dad, you just ate it,” foiling the entire plan and probably ensuring that his father would use the drive-thru for future attempted scams. 

Successful or not, Reddit’s finest food-service workers have had to deal with many other people who have tried to cheat the system, including a couple of employees who had their own schemes going on.
