Our daughter (18) has tried this out and didn’t get very far.
She put a request on Snap Chat asking for her associates to ship drinks to her (she was very skint!) however obtained nothing (they’re 18 and skint too!)
Nonetheless, when she had just a few quid, she’s despatched the odd factor to a few of her associates as a result of “I believed it’d be humorous they usually wouldn’t understand it was me.”
Why are individuals doing this?
Properly, for individuals sitting within the pub they’re getting just a few giggles when stuff turns up, plus they might truly get one thing first rate at no cost.
For the particular person sitting at residence, sending freebies to random individuals in Wetherspoons, may be extra fulfilling than watching the identical repeat on TV – even whether it is costing them cash.
Plus, there’s a hope somebody might pay the favour again.
Would you?
Is it a waste of cash?
Is it a waste of time?
Properly, I suppose that relies upon in the event you’re the one sitting within the pub….
Would you ship a drink, or have you ever put out a request and obtained a freebie?
