Question for those of you that used to work in fast food: You ever give your peoples "the hookup"?

The one between three and three.
Inspired by this video:




And, yeah, a couple of times when I was at Hardee's, McDonalds, and Arby's. Especially at Hardee's tho, we was making all kinda off-menu shit for each other and throwin extras in the bags for our peoples.
 
Yep here and there but it wasn’t just for anyone that knew me.


But this hookup me up shit goes way beyond fastfood… hell any job.. any trade and negros automatically expect something free or heavily discounted… FOH!
 
Getting the hookup was how I ate many times. Had hookups at every major fast food place, especially in the mall when I worked at Foot Locker.

And I gave people hookups at Foot Locker. It’s the hood bartering system and it worked well.
 
Yessir.

Soon as freshman year of college started, I got a job at the Subway that was like .8 miles from campus. Gave niggas mad discounts and free chips and shit like that. My manager knew what time it was too. As long as we didn't go crazy, he never tripped. And back in high school, I worked at Pizza Hut. They had a policy where if a customer called and ordered and didn't come pick it up, employees could take the pizza home at the end of the night. Last hour before we close, I used to have my niggas call and order shit and not pick it up. Then an hour later they'd pick me up from work and I'd walk out with 4 pizzas, passing them shits out on the car like 'Aight, who ordered the pepperoni and bacon?'

My roommate freshman year of college worked at the McDonalds across from campus and typically closed. Mans used to come back to the dorms with all kinda big macs, quarter pounders, and shit that they would have otherwise thrown away that night. Our lil fridge wold be over stuffed with that shit. His manager would let him take as much as he could carry so me and our suitemates stayed eatn' McD's that semester.
 
Yeah i worked at McDonald's my senior year in HS and the year after. When I was still in HS and they ran the monopoly contest I'd take some of the free meal stickers and sell them for the low at school. Also if somebody wanted a food hookup I'd just tell them to come close to closing.

One thing I miss though is because we were in walking distance of a Checkers, Popeyes and a pizza place was sharing food. Like we'd sent some Big Mac's to Popeyes and they'd send us chicken back. We'd swap fries with Checkers. Shit like that.

Oh it was definitely something you wasn't supposed to be doing but luckily we had a couple managers who would rock with the idea. And we didn't get crazy with it. Just send Like 10 burgers and some nuggets and come back with a 20 piece from Popeyes. Send Checkers a bag of Super Size fries and they'd send us one back too. Send the pizza place some filet sandwiches and they'd send a free pizza or 2. It was one of the best silent agreement I've ever worked around lol
 
Closing time when I worked at Wendys was lovely.. throw some extra shit on the grill fryer and when closing time hit boom. Taking all that shit or handing or handing it to the homie for a thank you for the ride.

We damn sure use to swap food with the Pizza hut next door too 😂
 
never worked fast food but worked takeout at Outback. figured out how to finesse the tickets, it was like 3 carbon sheets on top of the final ticket.
fold the final ticket back, write in what you wanted on the appetizer, salad or entree sheet. kitchen would just make it, i bag it and put my stuff to the side.
boom, free burgers, wings, salads, cheese fries. never went crazy getting steaks or ribs though
 
At my fast food job? Never

As a restaurant/bar manager? All the damn time
 
Yes.

But it was also 1996 and cameras weren’t as common place in Burger King

Use to make my breakfast from scratch in that griddle we use to cook eggs on too.

My boss would get mad as shit cause I’d be out there eating sauted onion ham and cheese omelette biscuits with gravy. Customers would be like “where in The fuck did he order that?!”

That was me at Hardee's. I'd make me a burger with sauteed onions, two different cheeses, bacon, lettuce, mayo and tomatoes and shit or I'd make a big as fuck roast beef with all kinda shit on it.

The times they had me on breakfast crew on the weekends or during summer vacation I'd be doing the same shit as you: Whole omelet with bacon, sausage, a cut up chicken from the chicken biscuit, cheeses using the shredded cheese for the salads and the sliced American shits with tomatoes and shit and hashbrowns on the side and all of it drizzled in the gravy from our biscuit and gravy joints. Be out in the dining area eatin' like a king. Then I started making it for the other backline cats and eventually the frontline was up on it. As long as the store manager/owner wasn't there, even the managers and assistant managers got in on that shit.
 
Hell Yeah i had my first job at subway... and used to tell people if you see someone im not cool with, come in order what u want just hand me $5 and ill make it work. (so i didnt have to say "your total is $17.65" out loud). After a while they knew which of my co workers were cool or not. they would come in and just stay for 1 hour making the time past
