People-Share-Loopholes-They-Exploited

Used to work at starbucks like 7 years ago and they used to print these receipts where if you filled out a survey it would give you a 6 digit code which you could then exchange for a free drink. However when you gave in the receipt with the code we would just toss it in the garbage and then give the free drink. So over a shift I would just keep all the survey receipts when people didn't want them, write random numbers on them, then keep a wallet full of free coffee. Since I already got tons of free drinks, I would give them to homeless people and explain it was good for a free coffee. Probably gave away like 100 free drinks.

Arby's used to have a "take a survey on the back of the recipt and get a free roast beef sandwich". But when I got the free one, I got a recipt then too. I bought one sandwich got literally dozens for free over the course of a year or so.

I used to live in an apartment across the road from a casino whilst at University. They released an app where if you "check-in" you get points that go towards free food and drinks. Because I was close enough to the casino I could just check-in without going to the casino itself. Every Saturday I used to get a free burger, fries and drink and watch sport in the sports bar. They eventually scrapped the app; it was awesome considering I was a broke Uni student.

Biggest-Culture-Shock

Holidaying in Tokyo and watching 5 year old kids walk themselves home from school and catching public transport...all by themselves.

Biggest-Culture-Shock

When a large Maori man asked to touch noses with me in greeting. The dude looked pissed until I manned up and was the first to touch noses. Then he had one of the best smiles I've ever seen on a mountain of a man. It lit up the entire cultural center.

American here and I lived in the Netherlands for a bit. The first time I went to the doctor and he had actually read my entire chart beforehand. Oh, and then the total for my visit was a few euro. That was a pretty big shock too.

I'm American and I had never left the country. When I traveled to Japan, I was seeing kids so often travel by themselves and leave their bags in places like at seats when they went to go order food, etc., without a worry of anyone stealing it. It was very surprising but also gave me a sense of safety I have never felt in the US.

Had a business trip to rural Alabama as a fresh college grad. I’m Canadian and had never left Canada at that point. The blatant, overt racism I found there was absolutely shocking. This was like 20 years ago, no idea if things have changed since... I remember thinking that if I wasn’t white I would be in legit danger most of the time I was there. We took our client out to dinner and he asked the host to make sure we weren’t gonna be served by a black person, like it was a casual request no different from asking to sit by a window.
