Some dystopian doublespeak from Micky D
A little light reading while you wait 20 minutes for your McFood because nobody wants to waste their life being abused for hunger wages by a literal clown.
This was hung up in plain sight next to the registers at the McDonald's along I-80 in Winnemucca NV. Name and shame

What in the ever-loving fuck is “loyalty fraud”?
It's doublespeak for giving people a discount.
No, it's not, it's referring to e.g. the cashier scanning their personal mobile app rewards account when checking out people that don't have one, accumulating tons of points in the app
This sounds like the most likely definition. But really, it's on them for not putting any sort of definition for the term. Some random person reading it will assume all kinds of possible meanings.
I mean, this is almost certainly in an employee only area (hence the "NO CELL PHONES" reminder with it), so any "random person" reading it has most likely heard the many reminders from corporate they most assuredly get weekly.
Oh that’s….somehow less bad than I thought, at least. I thought it was something about faking loyalty to the company.
So theft is theft. I guess I get it but the term loyalty theft makes it sound so much different. When I used to work fastfood I gave free food to people I didn't even like - usually shitty customers just to get them out of my face. But hey that's not loyalty theft at least.
The idea that an employee is not only not given the agency to make that kind of decision, but that an employer would consider using discount codes inappropriately a crime, and that they see nothing wrong with posting this in plain view of customers is dystopian as fuck.
Fear tactics indeed. Shitty management 101.
