Probably more effective to give to a food pantry to avoid the corporate profit cut, but the thought is very nice.

Many restaurants let people pay when they pick up or get the food delivered. So doing this costs the restaurant money, not OP. That's why he's spoofing his info too, if he paid they probably wouldn't care enough to ban the number.

Okay cool, I thought they were ordering online and pre paying.

[–] ASeriesOfPoorChoices@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

you think "calling" means "ordering online"? what the hell do you think caller id is?

I am not quite sure what the joke is about, could you explain? Those helmets seem to be used for preventing injuries in case of health conditions like epilepsy, but I can't make a connection at all

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

They're saying OP is slow and the helmet is there to prevent them from hurting themselves in the future.

OP isn't paying for the order, they're ordering over the phone for local pickup, which means they'd pay when they arrive. And OP isn't going to the store for pickup...

Yeah, the last part I got, the first part looks like a bit of a stretch, but thanks I'll think about it

wdym? He orders but never shows up and pays

Three birds with one stone is pretty good. Feed poor worker, screw corpos, fuck over exwife.

What is corporate profit cut?

[–] workerONE@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The restaurant is making food and it cuts into their profit

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 19 points 3 months ago

But it has a happy employee and they work harder, making the restaurant more money.

I'm guessing it means they're calling franchise restaurants and not mom and pop shops.

[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I thought they'd be ordering online and paying in advance. But if not, sounds okay
