It's easy, but a bit shameless.

Right now McDonalds is doing their annual Monopoly/Best Buy promotion game. With each order of large fries, certain sandwiches, and certain sizes of drinks you get Monopoly game pieces and either a certificate for $1 or $3 to Best Buy. You can collect and use up to $500 of Best Buy cash per visit per customer.

Now, if you happened to collect $500 in Best Buy certificates, you could easily pay for your Premium Pack, a game, and a couple of accessories. But how do you do this without gagging down McDonald's food? Easy...you dumpster dive. Literally hundreds of people a day are going to toss their game pieces in the trash after eating. If you're desperate to to have an Xbox 360, and you're not repulsed by dumpster diving, you could easily round up hundreds of dollars in certificates to Best Buy.

Heck, you could make thousands to use for anything really, you woudln't have to limit to 36o stuff.

With that said, I won't be doing this.

You sir, disgust me.

Who would want a 360 that badly?

I prefer to religiously go to my computer once an hour to engage in the emotional rollercoaster known as befirsttoplay.com

Geek · Oct 19, 2005

You're just fishing for a tag, aren't you? You really want to be known as "Xbox 360 Dumpster Diver", right?

Actually, I already won my 360 through Pepsi. I'm not diving for anything, but thanks for suggesting to the mods that I deserve that title anyway.

Hey, don't knock it GAF. I got an Atari 2600 and 10 games with a little Dumpster(TM) diving a few years ago.

Plus, you might score a couple free Filet O' Fish.

SuperPac · Oct 19, 2005

Those game pieces are like postage stamps. Good luck dumpster diving for them. At least with the pepsi caps they're bright orange.

Besides, a friend of mine was told at his Best Buy that he couldn't use all three of the best buy bucks he'd won on the same purchase (a DVD). Dunno if that was true or if they were just BS'ing him, but I wouldn't want to dumpster dive and then find that out.

Who changed the thread title? sonrrat said he'd rather suck cock...I don't know why I'm taking all the heat all of a sudden.

Even better - know someone who works at McD's, order a soda, and have him give you 20 cups to take with you.

*swims in a sea of monopoly pieces*

truffleshuffle83 · Oct 19, 2005

this would be ideal for emplyees of mcdonalds, id always volunteer to throw the trash out

Sucking cock is sanitary. Digging around in garbage like a homeless person is repulsive.

You could also walk around town finding bottles and cans in your shopping cart!

I think the rules are that you can't use more than more than $3 worth on CDs and DVDs, but those are apparently the only limitations, games and systems seem to be okay.

Alex Anderson · Oct 19, 2005

One can only use $300 of best buy bucks daily. sniff

Speevy · Oct 19, 2005

Or better yet, buy hundreds of large drinks and fries, then use a truck to haul them over to Best Buy. While the employees are enjoying their delicious food, steal an Xbox 360.

Starfire · Oct 19, 2005

My plan is foolproof.....two words: Flux Capacitor. Mwuhahahahahaha.

why bother, just look like you need help with something and watch them scatter, then it's swiping time

Nah, he means the one where:

"Hi, I need help w..."
"I don't work in this department!"

..happens.

truffleshuffle83 · Oct 19, 2005

damn, ive never had a problem with best buys where i live. their customer service department is where they never seem to want to help you. when im looking around the games and dvd's its like leave me the fuck alone, im tryin to buy my game and get the fuck outta here. i dont want any of your movie pass or free issues of sports illustrated BS

momolicious · Oct 19, 2005

LOL you made the topic, do it

Timedog · Oct 19, 2005

once like 6 months ago i was drunk and i dumpster dove and grabbed some mcnuggets and fish filets and ate them while i was walking home just for the satisfaction of drunk dialing all my friends and slurredly explaining to them what I had just done. COUNT ME IN.

*ashamedly ducks out of thread*

Both extremes happen, but it's dependant on the store.

I've been in Best Buy and Circuit City stores with friends who are looking to buy something and it takes 10 minutes to find someone just so you can point out the item you want so they can go get it for you. It wasn't even necessary for them to tell you anything about the product. We knew what we wanted and just needed someone to go get it.

On the other hand, just last week I was in Best Buy looking to pick up a few games. As soon as I entered the game section a guy jumped outa nowhere and asked if I needed help. After telling him "no" he procedes to stand directly behind me for the whole time until I choose my games.

"Briefcasemanx, you are hereby banned for eating garbage ."

Man, we wouldn't have a forum if that were the case.

Gek54 · Oct 19, 2005

Better yet, offering a bum a bottle of cheap wiskey for a hundred game peices.

sorryaboutdresden · Oct 19, 2005

Sorry Jeff, but this won't work. My friends and I obtained over a thousand best buy dollars (all of them are $1, the other denominations are excessively rare), and Best Buy will not let you spend that money on a gaming system. I forget the specifics, but its very limited. Oh, and to clear something up we did not eat that much McDonalds, we obtained the dollars in some other way.
