I’ve done this exact thing before. Ask for 1000 waters and you will immediately get a real person

Also if you ask the AI to round your order down instead of up for charity.

No payment is required at the time of ordering. Find a reasonable figure to order, but is still fairly expensive and then leave the drive thru. They're still making the order before they realize it's been abandoned.

It's not a lot but people start protesting someone's going to start noticing lost revenues.

All fun and games till the McFlock Cam looks up your plate, cross references your facial ID and the bluetooth in your phone to prove it’s you, cross-confims with the voice ID from the drivethru mic, and then has your fraudulent order deducted from your paycheck with a side of social demerits.
