Whenever I buy a movie ticket online, I always click on the seiner citizen option to save a few bucks. You'd be surprised at how the ticket person
never checks the whole thing anyways. After years of doing it, I was surprised how no one ever said anything about it. But then again, I used to work at the theater doing everything. And the amount of tickets you take all day long, you dont really do a double take other then look for the auditorium number on where to go.

Gamble on the behalf of disabled people - like, you can be in video chat with them and play roulette and whether you win or lose for them it doesn't matter, you take the commission

edit: as a bonus if you win big you can show all the other players the 90 year old guy in a hospital bed that now can afford surgery and everyone will cheer!!

Take a bunch of hot sauce packets from Taco bell when you order 1 taco (efficient, and their sauces are yummy).
Go to baskin robins and sample a ton of different flavoes and buy none (basically getting your ice cream fix for free).
Sign up for monthly free streaming sites like netflix over and over with different emails each time.
Use multiple email accounts to create profiles with different birthdays for free meals/deserts every week.
Buy a ton of stuff using coupons at certain stores and then return it all (at full price).
Buy all of an item that is in high demand, used online, then once you have a monopoly sell them for 2x as much.
Keep buying used games at gamestop and returning them 7 days later for a full refund.

Unless you go to multiple ones in a row, I doubt any single store would fall for that.

Would be indicated on the receipt, so you would just get back what you paid. (For the same reason, you cannot buy something discounted, then expect the undiscounted amount back when returning it after the sale is over)

Man, that doesn't sound too unethical. Sounds wholesome tbh.

I wanna say lying about your age to access senior discounts is unethical but lying about your kid's age to access kid's discount is somewhat fair depending on the context (i.e. kid's menu, maaaybe airplane seats, theme parks, etc.)

You know how when you go to a fast food place and they have "answer our survey and get a free burger" on the back of the receipt? They don't actually check the whole code. They only check the first digit which remains the same for the entire month. And when you get your free burger, they give you a new receipt. So you just write that same code on the new receipt and you can keep cashing in on that one survey for at least an entire month.

A lot of places will only refund the sale price if they've had a sale recently and you don't have a receipt, even if you actually paid full price.

Menards has occasional 11% rebate offers, and if you try to return something within a certain number of weeks after, they'll deduct 11% from the amount they refund.

Most theaters I go to, you just buy the ticket from the person at the counter.

You are lucky if you even can return something without the receipt.

The retail one is from a recent article I saw where employees were talking about frustrating experiences with customers. The employee basically had this woman come in, buy 300$ worth of crap, give him a ton of coupons and then returned it all right away (the dude was working the returns normally, but had opened up a register because there was no returns).

He refused and she asked for the manager, it was store policy so he had to accept the returns and refund her the full amount. So unless he was lying (always possible) it happens.

The baskin robins one is from 7 psychopaths (the movie) which I just watched, so may not be real, but, I have seen people get multiple tastes before (never all of them like in the movie lol). I've seen it also at frozen yogurt places (They have these little cups you can fill to taste the yogurts). In Gilroy we used to go to one,and I saw people trying multiple flavors like that (each was like 1/5th of a cone by itself, so if you did it with 5 flavors that was a full cone of frozen yogurt).

Netflix I know people who have done that. The one about birthdays was on facebook as well (some guy had a chart and 1 free something for every day of the year).

I have a friend who used to work for gamestop that does the whole used game thing all the time. HE says it actually helps the stores.

The only one on the list I have done myself is the Taco bell one lol. It was literally the only thing I liked at taco bell (havn't done it for a few years). I do really like their sauces, seriously, more than the sauces I buy at the store (which is what I have done recently). I miss their sauces but I just can't stand their food.
