I'm so carbon neutral. I have to burn car tyres just to stay on par with my peers

I like the sentiment, but people's carbon footprints are tiny compared to companies and industry as a whole. Wasn't the idea of a "carbon footprint" coined by the oil industry to shift the blame from themselves onto everyone else?

Am I the only one who thought he was talking about Wren from Corridor Crew?

Oh, hey there, wasn't expecting to see you in this comments section.

Your fucking cool man. Thanks for subbing to garbage time.

The qas the most surprising thing when I got my first fast food job, a thing of syrup like 5 gal, was 60$ its the system you pay for, allegedly

I used to be a manager at a Five Guys and our store didn't have the freestyle machines like Universal. It used big bags of syrup that hooked up in the back, but when I did inventory and put in orders for the truck a large bag of Coke (our most popular drink, that lasted roughly a week) was only $17. A large drink was $2.99, it cost about $225 a week for soda syrup, and they made double that a day in drink sales.

Fucking rich greedy humans

I watch the entire Makers Secret Santa playlist every year, and have discovered a bunch of cool people from it. It's always fun and wholesome.

i did some looking into restaurants finanances for a business our family was going to buy and it turned out the soda was nearly pure profit

@@katteisace4563 if I'm not mistaken that's the whole point of soda and alcohol in stores, profit

@@DaBlaccGhost to be fair that’s the point of anything being sold.. soda is incredibly profitable though. mcdonald’s makes a fraction of their profit from food sales and the large majority is soda.

@@katteisace4563 yeah it costs about 2 cents per litre in syrup, not accounting for shipping costs. The water is free

As someone who works at a Arby's, it takes a lot to empty a box of syrup, only like an a few ml go into a large soda, and I've worked at restaurants long enough to confidentially say that a CO2 refill only happens at most twice a year. Ultimately, Soda is fucking cheaper than cheap.

Especially with the whole monologue :)

It's just as powerful as a bomb. It's going to take down the whole system!

I was half-expecting this video to end with him revealing he had been kicked out and/or handed over to the cops cause they thought he was doing just that

He didn't even steal it. Next best thing is going around with a mini-emp at the right frequency to burn out their cup readers. It should be technically possible because the reader is sensitive to it and you can get pretty close.

@@user-el4np5xt8c the original guy sure did. Just because you buy a fountain drink doesn't mean you can fill up a seperate container.

@@GhostGlitch. they limited the amount in time. If they wanted they could make it only fixed volume. You don't get more than they allow. If you are taking what's allowed, how is this stealing? It's measured in volume/time.

@@user-el4np5xt8c I said "the original guy." Im talking about epitaph, the first guy from 2008 who did it on an old school fountain that did not limit him.

@@GhostGlitch. any soft drink dispensers that allow the customer to fill the cup is free refills, otherwise they are behind the counter. Assuming the cup used is the same brand you are technically not doing anything wrong. goes to show you're not paying for the cup or the soda, you're actually paying for access to the soda machine during your visit.

Well... we stopped drinking tea as often, so this is nostalgic lol

bruh what is this bot trap

That's... actually probably the same technology in the cups as what's used in an amiibo. I imagine it's NFC, as anything else would cost more than it could ever possibly save.

@@jlco as far as i know they're basically just rfid stickers on the bottom of the cups, the machine looks up the tag number or whatever in some database

amiibo were never technical marvels dude. Even in Smash they just stored certain values and it would be applied to a CPU fighter that made it behave differently.

@@SkylarsTerribleMemes idk what that is but I was assuming its similar to the small thin devises they put in library books in many modern libraries

The cups are just disposable Amiibos.

True but we don't have unlimited refills in most of the UK

same here but its probably bc im in a 3rd world country

I feel like perhaps it requires a more modern solution like something that can produce counterfeit RFID codes to trick the machines

The soda cost money and taking soda without paying is theft! Company, establishment, store etc etc lose money when soda is taken without being paid for! This is a simple theft prevention measure and for reimbursement of any lost excess soda! You lot sound like Communists!

@@xenosauridae he got it ON THE FUKIN RIDE

It's not about the soda, it's about sending a message

@@Ag3nt27 well yeah, it's more that than saving money.

It's actually because part of the price of the place gets payed up by the money that you spend inside of it, that is why the entrance fee is usually really low because they recover the expense from other sources which is why usually everything inside is soo expensive compared to buying it in a local store or a Walmart You know stuff like paying their employes, electricity bills, mantainance of the games, etc, all of the money to pay for that comes from all the stuff that you buy inside the park

Yeah, if that happens then RFID is just dead as a technology.

TLDR it already exists and can probably be done by anyone with enough time. I don’t know if anybody has cracked this specifically on RU-vid or another platform but there are open source technologies that can read the data from an rfid source and copy that data to blank one I would image that you could also modify that data to skip the “rent a cup” issue.

The corporation is stealing from you, penny pinching measures on one of the most profitable items to sell. Like seriously the cost per cup of soda can be measured in pennies, yet they sell the cup for several dollars and make sure to limit your intake while also making it cost money to reuse the same cup.

Why?

@@speedy01247 and let's not forget that if a corporation dodges their taxes, the IRS or its equivalent looks the other way, but if they see you doing it they'll chase you to the ends of the earth. They literally buy yachts with the money they save by not paying taxes, while you get told to pay twice as much to make up for their bullshit.

It’s cuz of corporation’s that I’ll become a corporate thief just plan a heist to steal 500$ worth of the thing that’s most expensive to produce

If it wasn't for corporations you wouldn't have posted that comment in the first place, you wouldn't have even seen the video, you wouldn't have half the things you probably have

The measuring part would be the easiest to implement, just limit the amount of time it will dispense per cup and you can roughly equate that to an amount of soda. If they go through the trouble of making an rfid cup reader of course they would have it limit per cup refill.

Hi, former employee here, the paper cups have these stupid RFID stickers on the bottom of them and they're good for the whole day just like the souvenir cups when you activate them for the day. Realistically, if you peel that sticker off and stick it on your own water bottle (Which a lot of the workers there actually do) you're set for the day. And for the record, the machines will always dispense precisely 20oz, so a Contigo bottle with the clip style cap that lets you hang it off of your belt loop/backpack works perfect.

@@ThatWolfWithShades This is some s-tier info

try america's got talent.... yea one of the performances was just a dude filling a cup with different drinks like that

if you pay that much for admission you shouldn't have to pay for the soda

All they are is a serial number, to bypass it you'd just have to clone an active one; you can likely buy blank versions of the stickers they use online, them imprint them with a smartphone app, assuming your phone has the right RFID reader in it, most samsung devices do. I've used a cheap samsung phone to make bootleg amiibos with blank RFID stickers to get around the ridiculous scapers. In theory, you'd just need to scan an active cup, then imprint the clone onto a blank sticker, and you're golden. Assuming the legit owner doesn't constantly try and refill every 10 mins. If you got unlucky, the legitimate owner might be confused about a lockout, and complain, setting into motion an investigation. But more than likely? They'll tell the guy to get bent, you don't implement a tight-wad system like this if you care about customer happiness.

bro imagine having a cup of every fast food chain and then also using this invention to just be able to steal a whole bag of soda from anywhere at anytime for free. it sounds like something nick would do from zootopia....
