Is it true that if you got to Long John Silver’s and tell them you’re hungry and don’t have any money that they will give you food? I heard this from a stupid hippy who said the founder or someone implemented this.
This is probably the manager’s decision. There may be an official company policy, but that doesn’t mean that any given restaurant will follow it. Will it work? Depends on how persuasive you are, and on how nice the manager is. All things considered, probably not.
