Some dystopian doublespeak from Micky D
(lemmy.world)
A little light reading while you wait 20 minutes for your McFood because nobody wants to waste their life being abused for hunger wages by a literal clown.
This was hung up in plain sight next to the registers at the McDonald's along I-80 in Winnemucca NV. Name and shame
No, it's not, it's referring to e.g. the cashier scanning their personal mobile app rewards account when checking out people that don't have one, accumulating tons of points in the app
This sounds like the most likely definition. But really, it's on them for not putting any sort of definition for the term. Some random person reading it will assume all kinds of possible meanings.
I mean, this is almost certainly in an employee only area (hence the "NO CELL PHONES" reminder with it), so any "random person" reading it has most likely heard the many reminders from corporate they most assuredly get weekly.
If you're only putting in your number for customers that don't have one, sure. If you're putting yours in instead of the customers, I think I'd consider that theft.
The sign is definitely not about protecting the customer's rewards points. The savings is payback for the customer downloading the app, the company wants their money worth.
Oh no, poor corpo not getting their money's worth from tracking people who use their app and selling data to advertisers?
Most likely not, but that was actually the exact case at my first job. Managers didn't care if we put it in when the customer didn't have one, we only got banned from doing it once a couple of my coworkers started putting theirs in instead of customers and customers (rightfully) raised hell over it.
I did this when I worked at a hotel during college with their rewards system and yeah no it’s theft no matter what the intent is lol
