Abusing freebiesA friend of mine recently attended a 'Champaign Lunch', where he was compelled drink as much fizzy stuff as he could between the first and last courses. In an ideal world we'd ask restaurant staff to tell us stories about fatties stuffing themselves at All You Can Eat places, but we recognise that our members don't all work in the catering trade, so for the rest of you - tell us something about abusing freebies. BTW: Bee puns = you fail.

One from my misguided youth...When I was a wee 'lil Sylia, I used to work Saturdays for a certain well-known high-street Chemist. Let's call them 'Shoes'...
'Shoes' run a card reward scheme, with one point being equivalent to one penny, & these points being redeemable for most of the items they stock. Doesn't sound like a lot, but they frequently have offers on certain products offering hundreds of points on a purchase.
Now, if you forget your card, 'Shoes' will very kindly validate your receipt for you, so you can add the points onto your card at a later date. Except that the validations are not tied to one individual card.
Now, for the people who don't have cards, it's such a shame to let all those points go to waste. So I'd very helpfully validate & then slyly pocket their receipts when they weren't looking. I would then take said receipts into a different branch & get the points added onto my own card, giving me hundreds of pounds worth of free make-up & other crap every month. If I didn't actually need anything myself, I would get things on request for my mates, & sell them on half price for beer money. Result!
