i did that all the time at my first job (Wendy’s), until I learned that a single extra nugget actually really really hurts how much money the managers come home with. a devastating amount, truly.
well, they acted like it. 🙄
You don’t have to encourage me, I’m already doing it
You don’t have to encourage me
Then you started adding two nuggets, right?
That sounds like something a velociraptor would say. Sus.
As an aside, my Gboard absolutely 100% did not want me to type “velociraptor.” Is Google promoting revisionist prehistory?
Thank you for noticing, velociraptors were my favourite dinosaurs from kid’s encyclopedia and I couldn’t remember how they’re called.
I used to feel SO FUCKING LUCKY to get that extra mcnugget though
Chaotic evil: only put it in one kids bag when there’s an order for two kids and watch them fight over it.
True Chaotic Evil:
2 extra nuggets for one kid, 1 short for the other.
Let the games begin.
That’s easier to rectify. The parent will just take one and give it to the other so there’s an equal amount. But with an odd number you either have to go Solomon or pick a kid, or eat it yourself and draw both their ire.
That’s the kind of sacrifice I will take upon myself if it can teach my kids a lesson.
Better yet, give them the option on how to deal with it, and if they can’t reach a deal in some time frame, eat it yourself. Throwing it in the trash makes them both feel like nobody wins, but me eating it means I win and they both lose.
I put free credits in the machines at the arcade where I work because I like to see the little kids get excited when they find a machine is already loaded.
First one free, make 'em come back for more.
I took my kids to a nickel arcade, and it turns out that many of the games there only exist to dispense “tickets” that they can convert to rewards at the counter. Everything is digital now, so it’s not nearly as satisfying as it was when I was a kid. My kids blew through their allotment and when they compared their tickets to things they wanted, they added some of their own money to get up to a specific ticket amount to get the thing they wanted.
At that point it’s basically gambling, because the conversion of nickels to tickets is largely chance-based. So loading a game w/ free tokens that dispenses tickets may lead to gambling issues if the kid would otherwise play non-ticket games.
It’s a bit of a stretch, and I still think OP is a pretty decent human.
