    That’s kind of like going up to a display that says “free sample - one per customer” and taking several samples. And doing so on a first date, like: this is who I am. It’s not really bad or anything, it’s just… kind of weird and embarassing.

    Nobody got anything to say about her reply?! She could have just ghosted him but instead gave an honest reply.

      Many people who get mad at getting ghosted also often get mad at the “bullshit” reasons they get, so you’re not going to hear a lot of praise.

    Someone who does not appreciate those who steal from exploitative global corporations, is not someone worth knowing.

      The entire reason the McDonald’s app exists is so McDonald’s can have variable prices to rip you off based on what they learn about your habits.

      I hardly classify using their services in unintended ways as “stealing”.

    I agree with the girl. If you’re willing to steal from a McDonalds, what else are you scheming and how long until those scheme involve me? Theft is theft and I’d want nothing to do with it.

    Edit. I don’t care about McDonalds, I care about the lads moral compass and how he is willing to show off his “trick” to a first date and just drag her into a scheme. At least wait a while to say “what if we made 3 accounts and just got 3 orders of the $1 nugget deal?”

    If the date is cool with it, great f* big corp. If not, you know she’s got morals that don’t perfectly align with yours - which is okay, as long you respect that and figure it out.

    I’ll stand by my statement “theft is theft”, but I myself also won’t deny having some morally gray online activities. However, I wouldn’t want to have a first movie date through a movies123 clone. First impressions are key.

      My first date with my girlfriend was at a Wendy’s and we took the bus to get there. That was 2005. We got married in 2009 and just celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary. It doesn’t matter where you go or how much you spend, it just matters who you’re there with.

        How many times did they say, “Sir, this is a Wendy’s” before they just gave up and let you stay all the way until you got married there?
