I agree with the girl. If you're willing to steal from a McDonalds, what else are you scheming and how long until those scheme involve me? Theft is theft and I'd want nothing to do with it.
Edit. I don't care about McDonalds, I care about the lads moral compass and how he is willing to show off his "trick" to a first date and just drag her into a scheme. At least wait a while to say "what if we made 3 accounts and just got 3 orders of the $1 nugget deal?"
If the date is cool with it, great f* big corp. If not, you know she's got morals that don't perfectly align with yours - which is okay, as long you respect that and figure it out.
I'll stand by my statement "theft is theft", but I myself also won't deny having some morally gray online activities. However, I wouldn't want to have a first movie date through a movies123 clone. First impressions are key.
If you think that someone "stealing" 30 chicken nuggets from a company worth over 200 billion dollars is somehow an indication that they must also treat their loved ones poorly, you're thinking far too simply about the complexity of human motivation. Amazingly, exploiting soulless corporations and hurting people are completely unrelated behaviors.
It's probably a franchisee who isn't a billionaire. More than likely you're stealing from someone who only has tens of millions.
(I think it's 2-3 million to start a fast food joint.)
I'm not sure which side of the debate this is meant to support.
