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.

        Read what I said:

        there'll be some people that'll eat all of it but for the most part people won't.

        Unless you can guarantee you'll be monitoring every Macca's making sure people don't waste anything.

        Kids just wanting a frozen coke won't give two shits about wasting and that's a problem.

        You'd be better just asking for the buns. Pickles are always free anyway. Tomato sauce won't go well on a bun you are saving for later.

            Therefore, the deal is promoting awareness.
            People seeing this deal will do this.
            The deal is indirectly to blame.

              @pennypincher98: yeah just like ABC reporting on ISIS is increasing awareness of ISIS and is indirectly to blame for their atrocities. fwark perfect logic brah you too good man you too good.

                    @waterbottled: Again that is different.

                    Getting a digital service cheaper is not on the same level as getting 10 meatless burgers to get a frozen coke.

                    In fact, I'd prefer people to have access to cheap Spotify because otherwise they'd just pirate everything.

                    With Spotify, there is no chance of wastage. Spotify is still getting money.

                    Most people are not going to bother about taking 10 buns with sauce home with them. I would because I hate waste, but there's a line.

                    Arguably this deal is just Devil's Advocate but for every burger that gets thrown away thanks to this post.. it's the post to blame.

Every single night (this is just one corporate brand, that i know of, maybe all of this type do it, im just mentioning them as i know 100% for them that they do it) around midnight all 7 Eleven stores put in a box all pastry, Krispy Kreme doughnuts etc. That hasn't been sold for that day, place it in the box and THROW it at the back bin, yes, throw it, throw perfectly fine, eatable food, not give it away to some homeless place that could serve it to someone, they throw it. So, now you all "angels" on here who are so certain about all your everyday lifes doings and your innocence go and do something about this, protest at your local 7 Eleven stores, write a blog, share on social media. Don't just be a useless sack of dead weight walk in 7 Eleven, have a mega slurpee and pretend like you don't know now nothing about anything 👍

          So your point is either this or nothing? It's a different story if one was on poverty, but Your second comment is not related, nor does it support your first comment.

          Not seeing the overall benefit or worth of the deal does not mean one "live single isolated lonely lives". One could say our lives are so busy with more important things like family, than to waste time on invaluable things.

            @Ughhh: No my point was if you can afford better than this then why are you even commenting on this post?

            For some people this might make their day and whomever is around them.

            For you it might be a waste of time for some others it might be all of theirs.

            I don't get why you are arguing about cheap food.. just be happy that is even there.

            Bashing those who want cheap food seems really backwards to me.

            Yes this might be worse than prison food but it is still something.

            I try to always assume your fellow man/woman is in poverty (unless I can assume otherwise) because making that mistake for me can be a big one.

            Anyways this conversation is going literally no where.

            I am not wasting time arguing why somebody might find value in this because if you can't see that I am sorry it is wasted energy and time at this point and I don't wanna waste anymore life on this plus your argument seems really dumb.

            If you have something more important to waste your time on then I advise you to do so then bash this post for silly reasons.

              No my point was if you can afford better than this then why are you even commenting on this post?

              Your initial comment does not reflect this ie. did not make this point. My comment was in response to your quote, which I quoted/highlighted.

              As for the rest of your gibberish, maybe work on your comprehension first?

      no shame being single.

      less hassle and drama than being part of a "large family"
