Food hack found on Reddit. Similar to this deal, when you remove a beef patty from a Hamburger, it deducts $1.10 from the order, netting -$0.10. Can apply the hack on any other menu items by varying the quantity of meatless Hamburgers if the system allows (not sure of limit).

  1. Add 10 x $1 Hamburger.
  2. Customise the burger by removing the Beef Patty (and/or everything else if you don't want meatless Hamburgers).
  3. Add 1 x $1 Hamburger (or $1 Frozen Coke if you prefer a drink).
  • Freeze the burgers and you have the next few days sorted.
  • If you don't plan on eating the meatless burgers, remove all other ingredients so that the burgers don't get made. Food wastage is bad.

    • Helmuth on 08/04/2019 - 10:15

      Yeah. A bargain for something you want is a deal, no problem. Something that is just wasteful is poor. Even if you want a $1 item, generating 10 buns worth of waste isn't right.

      That was a app deal with a limit of 1 per account/order, this is a kiosk deal where you can order more than one per order, hance build up the 10c, as seen in the video.

      • INFIDEL on 08/04/2019 - 09:05

        Same process - just the better availability of $1 hamburgers used & number to get larger credit is different. Single 10c credit wasn't worth the hassle.

        So a deal could be made for every product in Maccas menu, just with different number of burgers ordered (if system allows that many).

        • sss333 on 08/04/2019 - 09:10
          +1

          Well while I'm not a fan of these hacks being posted, the other deal has expired and what other menu items can you edit to get into negative territory?

          • ronnknee on 08/04/2019 - 09:17
            +1

            @sss333: Nah, you'd still be using meatless Hamburgers but you can apply it to any menu items by varying the quantity (if there is no limit on the system). Eg. $5 Big Mac = 50 Hamburgers w/o Beef Patties, $2 Chicken Patty = 20 Hamburgers w/o Beef Patties. That's what Infidel is implying.

            • INFIDEL on 08/04/2019 - 09:28

              @ronnknee: As Reddit post used only 10 hamburgers - my guess is system limit is 10. Otherwise there would be heaps of posts showing what people got free.

              Likely limit of $1 credit towards any purchase & a stack of free buns… I'll pass.

        No BUT the only people who are really going to try this won't eat 10 buns and a hamburger. They will do it for a laugh and throw out the remainder which is a complete waste…

        Sure this is a "deal" but its almost never going to be used to get 10 buns that actually get eaten so we SHOULD discourage these types of deals.

              @Clear: The difference with that is that those companies can honor or decline the availability of those issues. People using this there is no way for the employees let alone the managers to deal with this 'deal' as policies generally indicate to please the customer and move onto the next service.

              I'm not sure many people here have worked fast food service, or any kind of service that has had to deal with customers trying to game the system it's an unpleasant experience for all.

      What 'small business'? Every store has a big business name. Should we worry about every potential poor person affected by a big business?

      Some examples: "Oh no, don't do it to <business>, it'll affect poor retiree shareholders. What, 90% of company shareholders are filthy rich?" "Oh no, don't put restrictions on pokies, they won't donate as much to local community. What, they donate 1% of pokies to community?"
