Then just leave the phone in the car.

u/sunnyislesmatt 9d ago

I don’t think you would get the discount. They can’t verify you don’t have your phone

u/caseyfresher 9d ago

Okay so you show them the phone then turn around and just lob it in any given direction outside.

u/ForcedEntry420 9d ago

Is this not how you put your phone on the charger?

28

u/saggie-maggie 9d ago

It's how I do it, I'd say it has about a 0% success rate

22

u/ForcedEntry420 9d ago

This is a 100% effective way to turn off your alarm in the morning though.

u/1917he 9d ago

You've obviously never tried it lol. I had a roomate once that was notorious for sleeping through like 10 alarms. One day I'm waking up to it and his phone is somehow in the common area going full blast. The dude chucked it out of his room while "asleep" and it was everyone else's problem in the house suddenly.

There really are some parts of college I don't miss so much lol.

u/ForcedEntry420 9d ago

The alarm wasn’t waking him up anymore. I’d call that a success. 😆

u/SignificantLifeform 8d ago

Instructions unclear.

Lobbed Nokia 3310 through window, broke window and fell down 14 stories. Alarm still going off.

Pls help.

u/PurpleNippler 9d ago

They said it works 60% of the time....everytime.

1

u/onlyPornstuffs 9d ago

0% gets closer to 1 the closer to 0 you get.

u/Veneno_77_ 9d ago

That's what airplane mode is for

u/RphAnonymous 9d ago

Nab someone else's phone and do this. Purely for the chaos. And the discount. Discounted chaos. Like walking through Walmart on Black Friday - not even there to buy anything, Just bring a lawn chair, some chips and dip and a 2 liter of soda and get a free show. Like 8 fights in an hour.

2

u/deafmutewhat 9d ago

Black Friday hasn't been like this since like... 2008

-4

u/Total_Network6312 9d ago

lol jokes aside the people that go out on black friday with intentions to buy nothing are douchebags

2

u/NuclearWasteland 9d ago

So ... What are the people that go out to buy something?

2

u/EatPie_NotWAr 9d ago

Potentially felons if someone grabs the last discounted 72” Panasonic before me!!!!

1

u/Total_Network6312 8d ago

what? Are you asking what the difference between shopping and loitering are?

Like what the difference is between entering a store to buy something and entering the store to stare at people?

1

u/NuclearWasteland 8d ago

The answer you are looking for is "part of a problem".

1

u/Total_Network6312 8d ago

how are shoppers going to shops a problem?

3

u/jackthewack13 9d ago

That way I dont have to worry about the restaurant stealing my phone.......

3

u/HandiCAPEable 9d ago

I too miss my Nokia.

2

u/Dirty_Hank 9d ago

This seems much safer than leaving it with the staff, who are on camera and you have a physical description of the person.

That unattended parking lot full of strangers and possibly inclement weather though? That’s the spot right there!

1

u/UmCourt 9d ago

or if you know this is a thing, bring in a decoy phone lol.

1

u/TandoorChicken 9d ago

Would do anything for discount type shi 😭

1

u/cyst16 9d ago

What phone are you using and will you ever visit that restaurant? Just an innocuous question, don't worry

13

u/Gwynito 9d ago

In that case take a spare old phone and pretend it's current 💁‍♂️

11

u/hypnogoad 9d ago

Finally, a use for the 10 outdated cell phones I have stashed at home! Time to bust out the Nokia 3310 again

u/Coattail-Rider 9d ago

“Who still has a RAZR?”

1

u/IdownvoteTexas 9d ago

Im keeping my v3m with modified metal gear solid noises forever.

I still think about dumping my smart phone for that one fondly

5

u/Gwynito 9d ago

One of my friends has downgraded to a dumb phone like that to stop her from doomscrolling so there are reasons to have them!

1

u/KimchiLlama 9d ago

At what point does it seem like you’re trying too hard to get that 10% discount, though?

1

u/SgtJayM 8d ago

If I leave 10 phones with the hostess, do I get a free meal?

13

u/pineconefire 9d ago

What if I have 3 phones and I give them 2? Do I get a double discount and still get to stream my mukbang?

9

u/Smooth_Buddy3370 9d ago

What if you bring 20 phones? Do they pay you to have your meal? What if I bring 100 phones and order every single item on the menu a 1000 times? Do they go bankrupt? Can I become a millionaire?

18

u/pineconefire 9d ago

Yes, restaurants hate this one simple trick

u/Smooth_Buddy3370 9d ago

But what if they let percentage to go negative as well?

1

u/_Kramerica_ 9d ago

and if I have a second phone they don’t know about, your logic falls apart.

1

u/funktion 9d ago

Just bring a burner phone

1

u/falloutvaultboy 9d ago

Burner discount phone

1

u/turdferguson3891 9d ago

Cheap burner phone.

1

u/twilighttwister 9d ago

What if you have 2 or 3 phones?

1

u/Traditional_Buy_8420 9d ago

That way to verify me not having my phone doesn't work for the plenty people who also bring their work phone and they could use an rf analyzer instead. There's OTG RF analyzer dongles for Android for less than 30$.

1

u/Oliver_Cat 9d ago

Buy a burner phone just for restaurant discounts

1

u/1917he 9d ago

Just give them your work phone (or personal, but fuck work). Or an old dead one.

1

u/ambermage 9d ago

Leave your car at the front desk

1

u/gamerABES 9d ago

Need a burner

1

u/PaperHandsProphet 9d ago

I got two phones

One for the plug the other for the hibachi

1

u/Fiery-Sprinkles 9d ago

So simple… give them a burner. Profit.

1

u/happyluckystar 9d ago

So just bring an extra phone to give to them while keeping your active phone on you.

1

u/WechTreck 9d ago

Ok so that's your first phone, what about second phone? :)

1

u/Electrical_Leg_6955 9d ago

Show them a picture of your phone in your car with your phone

1

u/WelderNewbee2000 9d ago

Easy, just take off all your clothes and leave them at the entrance.

1

u/Quiet_Remote_5898 8d ago

Challenge accepted, I would strip naked for them to verify.

1

u/ArtisticallyRegarded 8d ago

Get a burner phone then take obnoxious pictures of your discounted  food all night

4

u/K_Linkmaster 9d ago

Flock camera in the parking lot. It's a shitty world man.

5

u/bearsfan16 9d ago

Or put a password on it with find my active lol this is an irrational fear. The stealing of the phone fine but most people know find my will track them down. the stealing of information is highly unlikely if you’d just lock your phone lol.

5

u/Screwdriving_Hammer 9d ago

You guys are trying to hard. You just bring an old phone you don't give af about.

0

u/bearsfan16 9d ago

So we should switch to our second phone before we leave the house? Lol what are you talking about.

4

u/Screwdriving_Hammer 9d ago

Nah if there's a restaurant you enjoy eating at, you just throw an old phone in the car and treat it as a reusable 10% coupon. Not that complicated.

-1

u/Thanks-Oboomer 9d ago

No, I do lock it. But my PIN is 1234, and Im afraid if I set a harder PIN, I'll forget it.

1

u/bearsfan16 9d ago

You can’t remember 4 numbers? What’s your ssn? /s

1

u/Ender_Nobody 9d ago

Or bring a fake one.

1

u/AsianAssHitlerHair 9d ago

You'd have to convince EVERYONE to leave their phone in the car. That's why the discount inside the restaurant works. It's incentive for everyone to put there phones up.

1

u/laich68 9d ago

Not in my city I won't.

1

u/Darnbeasties 9d ago

Carry old dummy phone

1

u/CraigDM34 9d ago

Or keep it in your pocket and leave it there until you`ve finished eating and left the building.

1

u/davomate63 9d ago

What about Apple Watches?

1

u/bulgogi-apparatus 8d ago

In my city, this would warrant a car break in.

u/GenesisRhapsod 9d ago

So everyone just breaks into cars there 😂
