Is it Possible to Scam Restaurants?
    #5688489 - 05/29/06 09:10 PM (17 years, 8 months ago)

Write letters in the most professional style (correct spacing between date, address, paragraphs) to the headquarters of really nice fancy restaurants.

Complain about anything from the hostess to service to small complaints about the food (shit was cold, poor quality, made you feel sick.)

I'm just wondering if anybody has ever done this because it seems like a damn good idea and I love food but not as much as free food. Any ideas?

That is a good way to get a hard working employee fired.


But free food is awesome.

Absolutely, I was using it as Idea, like self respect, knowing that you do good just for the sake of it.

Let me put it this way: anybody who would fuck over a restaurant for a free meal has no right to bitch about people who fuck over taxpayers for welfare. Especially if those people are on welfare because people like you fucked over their former employers.

I don't have to scam. My time is valuable. If I took the time to write a bogus letter to a restaurant to get a free meal, the time expended would be worth 4x the price of the meal itself.

If you want to scam a restaurant, just order a meal, eat it, and complain to the manager that it was cold or some bullshit like that. I guarantee you they will comp it; I've seen it done a million times. Actually, why bother complaining to the manager at all? You could just walk out without paying; there's really nothing they can do about that. I mean, it's likely that your waiter will have to personally pay for your meal, but so what? Subtract morality from the equation and there's tons of ways to eat free.

managers know a bullshitter from a legitamate complaint.

if you want to risk the embarassment &
hassle of you being laughed at & asked to leave,
then by all means, do want you want.
if you have any dignity in yourself
you wouldnt try to scam
anyone in the 1st place.
everything you do,
reflects yourself.

whoever said restaurants cant do shit if you walk out
without paying your tab, you're wrong.
that is no different than shoplifting.

Seriously, If you are going to (be a dick and) do this, try not to specify any person in your lying. Cheat the restaurant or whatever, but leave the innocent servers, hostpersons et al out of it. You could be getting someone completely innocent, who needs their job, fired.

doesnt always happen, I sat for an hour and a half waiting for my meal at one
resturant, aparently the ticket was never turned in,the manager decided to make
up for the wait time by comping my drink, it was Iced tea.

another resturant I waited for a table for over an hour, the hostess seated her
friends and other employees before she did myself and my pregnant wife, I asked
for the manager that time and made a complaint, a couple others verified what
I said and were equaly upset as they'd waited for some time as well, after we
were seated the manager comped a $4 appetizer


in both instances I refused the 'freebie' and paid the full price, I also never
returned to either resturant and told everyone I knew about the experience,
one of the places went under a few months later.

yeah, a group of us went to EastSide Mario's after the winter gathering for lunch and waited almost 2 hours for our food, and when we complained we were given total crap about why it was taking so long, they said they were really busy, there were only 12 other tables in the whole resturant, the manager comped out drinks, all sodas or iced teas and gave us our food half price, so basically because it was lunch saved us all $2.....worst experience I've ever had any where, I don't think I could ever set foot in any eastsides again.

I ran down a walkout once, they parked at the motel behind the place on a steep hill, when they spotted me they jumped out of the car and aparently lft it in reverse because the car rolled down the hill into the side of a building, it
smashed the cars rear, knocked a hole in the building and ripped out some bushes

<<whoever said restaurants cant do shit if you walk out
without paying your tab, you're wrong.
that is no different than shoplifting.>>

I'm not saying restaurants can't do shit in the sense that walking out without paying is legal; I'm saying that, in most cases of "dine & dash", the perp gets away with it because the restaurant doesn't have the resources to chase down and detain the villain, and the negative PR that might result from such an episode is bound to cost the restaurant business, and losing business is much more costly than losing food, most of which the restaurant throws out at the end of the day anyway.

New restaurants trying to make a name for themselves do so by kissing the asses of everyone who walks in the door. These are the establishments more likely to comp an entire meal than, say, a "staple" establishment that has a strong consumer base and couldn't give less of a shit if you have personal issues with the service. So your best targets are the kinds of places where the manager makes rounds, asking all the guests if everything is OK, etc. This is evidence that they are eager to please. If you call a manager over in such a place and make a complaint that sounds halfway legit, and you make it apparent that you are going to throw a fit if you are not satisfied, then yes, your food will be comped.

It is more important for a restaurant to retain business than retain food. Working off this assumption, and without any qualms about fucking over your waiter, it is easy to get free food by being an asshole. I've never done any of this, but I have been a waiter and it has been done to me.

*edit* I meant this as a response to 40oz, the above quote was his. My bad.

No; truth, being alive, was not halfway between anything. It was only to be found by continuous excursions into either realm, and though proportion is the final secret, to espouse it at the outset is to insure sterility.

I like the ones that get really upset at the THOUGHT of doing this.

Fine, stop crying, I won't do it. Feel better now?

if you want to risk the embarassment &

then by all means, do want you want.
if you have any dignity in yourself
you wouldnt try to scam
anyone in the 1st place.
everything you do,
reflects yourself.

whoever said restaurants cant do shit if you walk out

that is no different than shoplifting.




This man knows what he's talking about, I've managed multiple restaurants and you better really have a good story and do your research if you want to scam a restaurant with out ever making a purchase.  Most managers in the food industry work 50, 60, or even 70+ hours a week and know their restaurant inside and out.  Over the years I've kicked many people out of my restaurant for trying to run scams, or getting unruly when I wouldn't comp their food because they didn't have a valid arguement.  I am very giving when we do actually do something wrong, but don't try and run a scam, restaurant managers deal with it all the time.  Complaining about the quality of the food at a lot of places will usually just get it remade for you and maybe a discounted bill.  Scamming the coporate office will probably work like a charm though, just make sure you do some research and know what your complaining about.  If you don't name any names no one will get fired or in any trouble, the manager just gets an email from the corporate office

If you walk out of my restaurant without paying I'll try my hardest to get you arrested.  most restaurants have no shortage of cameras and if I realize you've left without paying quick enough I'll run to the parking lot and try to get your license plate number.  When the police come to file the report I'll have your picture and maybe your plate numbers ready for them.  It's actually illegal to make the server pay the tab if a customer walks out so your mostly pissing off the manager, who probably has a large bonus coming his way when he keeps his money in line and runs a profitable business.

You're doing a lot of stealing and scamming.  No offense, but you need to rethink your life.

Write letters in the most professional style (correct spacing between date, address, paragraphs) to the headquarters of really nice fancy restaurants.

Complain about anything from the hostess to service to small complaints about the food (shit was cold, poor quality, made you feel sick.)

I'm just wondering if anybody has ever done this because it seems like a damn good idea and I love food but not as much as free food. Any ideas?





This AND stealing library books?

You give atheists a bad name.....

Yes. Don't be a shitbag.

You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers
