It doesn’t matter who you are or where you’re from, everyone loves getting stuff for free. Especially if it happens to be food. There’s just something about free food that tastes that much better, and some people will go to great lengths to get it. I have definitely done multiple laps inside Costco to keep cruising by the free sample tables and hope that the employees don’t recognize me, and anyone who’s worked in the restaurant industry will tell you that some folks will put on a whole drama production with a musical number if it means they get a free dessert out of it.

One man, however, has really raised the bar in his quest to avoid paying for meals.

A 27-year-old from South Africa strode into KFC and told the employees that he was sent from corporate headquarters for quality assurance taste tests, which in itself is already brilliant and ballsy, but it gets better —

HE DID IT FOR A WHOLE YEAR.

This seems like a pretty difficult front to keep up, you’d think that the employees would’ve caught on way sooner, and they probably would have if he was less dedicated. He made himself an ID card from KFC “head office”, he’d wear a whole ass suit on his trips to the fast food chain, and WOULD EVEN ROLL UP IN A LIMO.

Yeah — he paid for limousine rides to KFC so that he wouldn’t have to pay for chicken.

Unfortunately, after a year of eating for free the employees figured him out, and he’s actually been arrested as a result, which seems pretty unfair. I mean, he has been taste testing their food at various locations for a whole year... Seems to me like they should just give him the job.
