I love that Paint drawing, It looks so silly, and the dude on it looks so confident in his invention, like no one would suspect a thing from a dude wearing sunglasses and a hay hat.
Just so you know you can get away with a lot at fast food restaurants. As long as you don't: - Treat us like shit - Make a huge mess - Scream or be loud I can assure you we will not mind whatever shenanigans you have planned. There's a clip on the internet somewhere when a guy tried robbing a fast food place and before the robber could even pull his gun out the employee handed him the entire cash drawer with an apathetic look. Always makes me laugh.
Basically, just don’t come in being an insufferable prick and you can do what you like. I used to only ever get on people for doing stupid stuff like this when they were being unnecessarily messy and disrespectful. Like the high school theater kids…they were always the absolute worst.
I heard its standard protocol to give what's in the cash register to robbers because 1) the risk of death is much worse than losing some money, and 2) most of what's inside a cash register is chump change anyways. Its far safer to let them do their thing and call the police than to play vigilante.
Although workers don't mind a lot of things, people sometimes overcome boundaries by just saying that "the employee is paid too little to care" like there's a point where you should stop
True, but if I was the employee, and he went so far as to tell me what he was doing, I might ask that he wouldn’t just because his contraption might malfunction and cause a big mess.

Literally one time I went to taco bell with one of my many exes and I like spicy but never actually tried taco bell hot sauce so was like "is Diablo or Hot the...hot sauce?" and guy was like "I guess Diablo? I don't know take as many as you want" So I did. I put like ten Diablo on my burrito and was like this isn't hot it's just peppery.

This is what we mean when we talk about the "old Internet". The glory days, when navigating the web itself was an adventure, and you actually visited websites rather then pinging between 3 different social networks. The forum age of the Internet definitely was the best time. I miss those days.
There's still all kinds of isolated forums around, you just need to find them. Now as it was then they usually only have a couple thousand members and are easily drowned out by the billions of normies perusing the big social networks nowadays. But they are there.
It amuses me. Some where, some place. Philip is still out there with this achievement, still stealing soda from the clutches of mega-corporation. For that, I salute Philip and his Asian friend. An absolute legends.
@James Pietsch this is just peak childish. I honestly couldnt tell you, i'm 5'10, weigh 190 some odd pounds, fit fine into size 28 skinnies, though i blame hikes and running trails for all that rather than much of a fantastic diet. Point is, i'm certainly in shape, i'm just saying that the point of the video as said by the guy making the soda stealer is not to actually drink the soda, as he'll probably not drink more than half, clearly he isnt some soda addict, your comment was just totally overlooking the fun of it to come down about how soda is bad for you, but like nobody claimed it was any good for anyone, nor does anyone believe it is, it's just a moot point on your end, friend. Edit: Looked on a pretty simple BMI calculator, it's 24.4, though i'm guessing you only asked hoping i was up in the overweight/obese range to try and insilt me, right?
@James Pietsch asking my BMI after talking about something being unhealthy is childish as if i'd said any number past average you wouldve most definitely said something derogitory regarding my weight in regards to talking about what is and is not healthy, trying to either discredit my opinion or more likely belittle me based on weight, which, again, is rather childish. And i see you putting a (valid) irrelevant to the context opinion, under a video about someone making a contraption to steal baja blast, like yeah, it's a fine stance, but you've stuck your soapbox far and away from somewhere where it matters, and worse yet, as an irrelevant responce to someone elses comment. Just seems like a rather blatant attempt to annoy someone or get into an argument, which you actually managed to succeed in, so kudos i guess.
I did something similar in the mid-'90s with CD stores, specifically the ones that had listening stations so you could "try before you buy". Rigged a 3.5mm "intercept" cable that ran from the output jack, up my sleeve into a miniDisc recorder stashed in my pocket. Lifted many albums until Napster came online.

@James Pietsch this is just peak childish. I honestly couldnt tell you, i'm 5'10, weigh 190 some odd pounds, fit fine into size 28 skinnies, though i blame hikes and running trails for all that rather than much of a fantastic diet. Point is, i'm certainly in shape, i'm just saying that the point of the video as said by the guy making the soda stealer is not to actually drink the soda, as he'll probably not drink more than half, clearly he isnt some soda addict, your comment was just totally overlooking the fun of it to come down about how soda is bad for you, but like nobody claimed it was any good for anyone, nor does anyone believe it is, it's just a moot point on your end, friend.
Edit: Looked on a pretty simple BMI calculator, it's 24.4, though i'm guessing you only asked hoping i was up in the overweight/obese range to try and insilt me, right?
@James Pietsch asking my BMI after talking about something being unhealthy is childish as if i'd said any number past average you wouldve most definitely said something derogitory regarding my weight in regards to talking about what is and is not healthy, trying to either discredit my opinion or more likely belittle me based on weight, which, again, is rather childish. And i see you putting a (valid) irrelevant to the context opinion, under a video about someone making a contraption to steal baja blast, like yeah, it's a fine stance, but you've stuck your soapbox far and away from somewhere where it matters, and worse yet, as an irrelevant responce to someone elses comment. Just seems like a rather blatant attempt to annoy someone or get into an argument, which you actually managed to succeed in, so kudos i guess.
