Taking to TikTok, user Benita Jadah revealed the only guaranteed way to get your meal for free in the fast food chain.

“We’re human too and nobody likes to get yelled at,” she said.

“I get why you’d be upset but you will get so much more and so much further if you come in with a super good attitude.

“It’s a billion dollar industry, they have the money.”
