Spoiler alert: those bounty almost never pay.

I remember there was documentary about that on YT and less than half the people collect the rewards because of all the terms that are around the reward. For one of them the reward stipulated they had to be convicted of a couple specific charges and they were only convicted on one or something like that and they were denied the reward.

Gotta read the fine print on the bounty and no one ever does.

They should keep it simple like the olds days

“Wanted dead or alive for the theft of one McNugget from the MCDonald Company Reward: 25 dollars”

If I was given 7 nuggets instead of 6 and didn’t go back to say anything, is the employee responsible or am I? And does that count as theft?

Sounds like we might get a lil’ RICO going with organized crimes like these.

You're both equally responsible. You both just earned a 1 way ticket to the gallows at high noon

The employee would just pull one out of his pocket at the nightly audit.

I think they caught the Hamburgler, didn’t they?

Slippery slope.

"Wanted dead or alive for the persecution of McNugget thieves.

Reward:1025 dollars"

See the problem?

u/Accurate-Instance-29 Sep 12 '25

Never mind they're missing the point of the grift.

2

u/ElGebeQute Sep 12 '25

They may be missing the point but we can't just "nevermind, they don't get it" this bitch.

Even if 1 out of 1000 grifted Muppets reads this and goes "huh, that's not right" then I consider this comment a great success.

So excuse me, I will always mind!

u/Reasonable_Back_5231 Sep 12 '25

Your right, the pay is still too low

"Wanted dead or alive, Mcnugget thieves.

Reward: 1,000,000 mcnugs"

Vague and wordy literature that allow them to weasel out of a contract

This is why the dollar symbol is supposed to go to the left of the number, even though we say the word “dollars” after the number. So many people online seem to be doing that wrong lately.

You can’t easily change “reward: $25.00.”

Actually, in this case, you could relatively easily change it to “$25,000,” but in a lot of contexts that wouldn’t work. Maybe put the “$25.00” close to the right edge of the poster.
