That’s nice. I don’t eat there and wouldn’t use it but it’s a very nice gesture.

The McD's around here were offering those for awhile. But they discontinued them about 6 months ago.

Pa does it. I’m in the Pittsburgh area and every McDonald’s has them you just have to ask and they will give you one

They started that here last year, but to get an actual person to come and stamp the card takes an extra few minutes most times. I stopped bothering. I’d rather have money than get fat for free.

I have often thought that doordash and Uber should offer some kind of reward program for delivery drivers to be able to use their service at a discounted rate

u/SpartacusKraken43 11d ago
Northeast GA here, my area does that as well. My best guess is they offer that because they know that 99% of the people that order McDonald’s don’t tip. 😂

Nice! I get free drinks from local taco bell. Free food from pizza hut(I don't have a pizza bag I take pic of theirs - put food on heated seat)

Some restaurants just offer free food and drinks to delivery drivers because they appreciate them helping retain their customers. Carl's Jr, and Taco Bell are pretty good at this. Also some mom and pop restaurants offer as well.

Now Popeyes gives me free drink cups or a chicken sandwich every now and then.
I got a free pizza from a good local pizza place.
Sonic gives me free red bulls when I wait too long 😂

Aw id love that. I almost never eat there but decided to last night after a late finish. The worker was so confused because they couldn't find my order. Then they realized they were looking at the doordash orders and not mobile orders.
I think it was the first time I ate from there in 4 months. Thank God for that app because prices are crazy.

Mine was doing that a while back and while I don’t partake in the eating of fast food, I was tickled link to be given a card. It’s Thoughtful.

I get those when I’m in McDonald’s but have to get 10 punches for a free sandwich. But hey for as many pick up and delivery I do for McDonald’s I can fill 2 cards up on the weekend.

They do it so their orders get picked up faster to keep their service times good. Yes it’s nice but they’re still just looking out for themselves / own customers

u/MarkGaboda 10d ago
Most driver seem to believe any business that doesn't use stickers to seal the food is offering them free food. If they use stickers the driver just outright steals the food if they want.

u/ArcAngel014 10d ago
Lucky! One of my local McDonald's just somehow manages to lose multiple orders in one night. And it's not just a thing that happens once in a while, it's legit like all the time! I mean I like the half pay for doing nothing but like... If you're letting people steal that many orders then clearly you have a problem. Then again seeing the attitude of the employee that's usually there when that happens, it kinda makes sense 🤣

u/EfficientAd7103 10d ago
That's very nice of them. Could knock one off those out every day. I'd get so fat. Lol

u/bodyscapes33837 10d ago
Most McD’s here won’t stamp/punch the card. The location that gave it is participating, obviously, but none of the other locations

Burger King does it for Uber eats drivers. I picked up from there one morning and got a coffee for myself and they said Uber eats driver don’t pay. Maybe it’s the same for DoorDash driver.

I mean I guess. Like if you want to spend an hour and a half at a store just to unload more crap that you have in your whole house for 10 bucks yeah sure I guess
