Just so you know you can get away with a lot at fast food restaurants. As long as you don't: - Treat us like shit - Make a huge mess - Scream or be loud I can assure you we will not mind whatever shenanigans you have planned. There's a clip on the internet somewhere when a guy tried robbing a fast food place and before the robber could even pull his gun out the employee handed him the entire cash drawer with an apathetic look. Always makes me laugh.
Basically, just don’t come in being an insufferable prick and you can do what you like. I used to only ever get on people for doing stupid stuff like this when they were being unnecessarily messy and disrespectful. Like the high school theater kids…they were always the absolute worst.
I heard its standard protocol to give what's in the cash register to robbers because 1) the risk of death is much worse than losing some money, and 2) most of what's inside a cash register is chump change anyways. Its far safer to let them do their thing and call the police than to play vigilante.
Although workers don't mind a lot of things, people sometimes overcome boundaries by just saying that "the employee is paid too little to care" like there's a point where you should stop
I love that Paint drawing, It looks so silly, and the dude on it looks so confident in his invention, like no one would suspect a thing from a dude wearing sunglasses and a hay hat.

As someone who has worked as a minimum wage taco bell employee, I can easily say that the guy could've told me exactly what he was doing and I would not have given a shit.
Literally one time I went to taco bell with one of my many exes and I like spicy but never actually tried taco bell hot sauce so was like "is Diablo or Hot the...hot sauce?" and guy was like "I guess Diablo? I don't know take as many as you want" So I did. I put like ten Diablo on my burrito and was like this isn't hot it's just peppery. Then put ten hot and said the hot sauce is so much sweeter almost like a duck sauce and that same cashier said "motherfucker you ARE diablo" lol
Once when I was working, one of my coworkers said the lady that had the weird ass order I gave a water cup to just like...went to go get actual soda and I just shrugged and asked "what am I supposed to do" Literally I could give less of a shit if someone is stealing soda, as long as you keep the drink station clean then go ahead
When I was volunteering at a soup kitchen, there was an old guy who did this to fill his thermoses with coffee and juice. He had the thermoses in a bag and 2 cups with tubes coming out the bottom, he wore a long trench coat and he'd set the bag on the floor, we were supposed to watch for him and stop him but we all just ignored it because he told cool stories.
Stuff like this is why I love the internet, people from who knows where in the world coming together to do something completely stupid, yet they have fun doing it and that's all that matters.
It's arguably not even illegal at all considering there are free refills and I mean it's possible that someone could even drink that much soda in one sitting if they wanted to.

"Do I really look like a guy with a plan? You know what I am? I'm a guy chasing Baja Blast. I wouldn't know what to do with one if I caught it! You know, I just...DEW things."
@@derekg5006 Get a water cup and fill it with soda, no one bats an eye. But get a soda cup and fill it with water, and the whole world goes wild.
@@reillymcwriting dont even think about doing anything with a coffee cup!!!
There’s two things to sum up
“My goals are beyond your understanding”
Or
“It’s not about the Soda it’s about sending a message”
Everyone knows when the date is early 2000s you know the internet was in its golden era
that was late 2000s, early wouldve been 2000-2004
The best era ever
That was my ppl
Your welcome
@@TheGhostFart still the 2000s
"that's just stupid for a soda"

Its amazjng how far technology has come in such a short time, i regularly take photos 5-10x the size of the video of the soda steal in action and that blows me away
This brings back memories of when my grandmother would be visiting from a small farm town. The family would do a Sunday buffet at some swanky city hotel. She used napkins to wrap food items and put them in her purse for later 😂
"why not just buy the soda?"
This Guy: "My goals are beyond your Understanding"
You got likes thought I’d tell you
@@Nayhan123 lmao thanks pal appreciate it
@MR. Young Chaen thanks haha
Soda for the soda god
this is the literal definition of "its not about the money, its about sending a message"
We should promote tinkering and learning with your hands, be it a useless thing, it’s how we learn. Makes me want to do some fun projects and share them. Also UselessDuckCompany knows how it’s done 😎
E
This is the beauty of the internet
It’s not about the drink it’s about the mission
It's not about the destination, It's about the journey
It happened.
Born to drink Baja Blast, forced to steal Baja Blast.
fuck yeah
The life we live.
u r not funnii
this really says a lot about society
Hey
It’s Taco Bell. He probably could’ve just walked in and stolen it right in front of the employees, without buying anything, and gotten away with it.
that's not the point
Stealing soda was never the goal.
It's about sending a message.
Just throw on a Pepsi repair man looking uniform and say you gotta make some repairs to the machine. Open it up and take Baja blast then put an out of order sticker on it and say you'll be back
@@MostGenericUser the machine itself just has syrup and carbonated water that it mixes together...
@@Tuxfanturnip so you steal the whole machine
what a nice video by cybershell, i sure wish it'll still be here when i want to watch it again! i'm sure nothing bad will happen!!
Huh
What
The glory days of Luelinks are long behind us. Rip
Words can not describe how much I like the “blueprint” image shown in the thumbnail. It’s simply too good
69 likes. Nice 😎
its truly a work of art
I clicked on the video solely because I thought the thumbnail was amazing
I want this on a t-shirt
It's simply a work of passion and I love it
It’s funny how this guy is worried about getting caught for ‘stealing’ baja blast
Those we’re simpler times😂
I mean i stole rootbear from mcdonalds never got caught lmao
Root bear floatlol
Other inmate: What your in for.
This guy: ... Um yes.
@@gonetospace5544 were*
I have watched this video abour 6 times in under a year. For some reason it keeps getting served up as recommended and i dont mind at all
Why is this Cybersmell's highest performing video?
This dude is the original joker bustin out the "its not about the soda."
A man ahead of his time
"You think you can just steal our Baja Blast and get away with it?"
"yeah"
it's about the swagger
I take a literal 2.5 gallon contraption and steal gallons worth of soda and nobody bats an eye steal soda with a water cup and eveeerybody loses their minds
This guy was 100% justified, you literally cannot charge him
Frito lay wants their $0.50 back
When you buy a soda from a fast food restaurants and they have the machine out for public use then it's bottomless. Unless they put up a sign that says $_.__ for refills.
double jeopardy legally, you could take him all the way to the supreme court, you could never convict him, he;s like kaiser soze escaping at the end of the usual suspect
"the greatest trick taco bell ever pulled was convincing baja that it couldn't blast"
Watching this while drinking Baja Blast from a can in the comfort of my bed.
Just found this channel. Pure gold.
The editing in the clip was actually kind of nice. Its like in a movie where they explain a plan and switch back and forth to them doing it.
Underated
Pretty much
Operation: soda steal
Starring
Matt damon as bag man
Chris pratt as camera man
Vin diesel as minimum wage employee
Now You See Me but with lower stakes and in 2008
basically oceans 11 in 47 seconds
*Fills up duffle bag full of Baja Blast*
“We’re gonna be rich!”
Just got done watching one of your videos, this is in the recommended after watching it and you just watched it lmao.
* Payday 2 Police assault starts playing *
"WE GOTTA GET OUT OF HERE!"
* Cloaker sounds and gunshots *
I find it so funny to see you of all people to be on a video called operation soda steal lmao
sucks they voted in baja blast which can atleast get soemwhere instead pitch black available NOWHERE ugh peaople.
Dank I see we both have some odd recommendations on UA-cam
Poor dude really thought the store would do a soda audit and come after him.
Bold design that's elegant in its simplicity.
I admire this line so much that I would take it home and put it on a shelf.
"supirsingly the minimum wage Taco Bell employees didn't really give a sheit what we were doing"
that got me
*Surprised Pikachu Face
minimum wage, minimum effort lol
The manager probably would've cared
Yeah if they want employees to care they should pay em a living wage first
i like rewatching this video yearly
He always considered the legal and moral side of the whole operation, what a nice guy.
This is what we mean when we talk about the "old Internet". The glory days, when navigating the web itself was an adventure, and you actually visited websites rather then pinging between 3 different social networks.
The forum age of the Internet definitely was the best time. I miss those days.
Amen.
I miss those days man
I was only there for the end of the forum age and boy was it beautiful with all its shitty gif-emoji glory.
There's still all kinds of isolated forums around, you just need to find them. Now as it was then they usually only have a couple thousand members and are easily drowned out by the billions of normies perusing the big social networks nowadays.
But they are there.
Forums are great, they still exist.
Soda in those machines are usually so watered that it just not worth the effort
This is the only story that I feel can only be told in 240p: I wouldn’t want it any other way.
I wish crime was always this exquisitely harmless and creative.
I wish crime was this directed at authority especially the corporate side and nothing else
@Kuriz, the plural being 'Kurizes' yea, and you would be helping the economy by stubbing the toe of the lobbyist preventing the growth of the free market
@@free_kingvamp yep, this guy gets it
@Aztroloe first rule of behavioral economics is everyone works in their perceived self-interest. Second rule being that of absolute and competitive advantage. Basically what I am trying to say is the best most capitalist, most John Adams approved thing you could do for your economy is pirate games as it would both be your greatest advantage and in your perceived self-interest
@@nathanielgarza9198 I want to read your whole comment but youtube is giving me the fucking DOTS instead of *read more*. I see you youtube. I see you and your bullshit.
"It would be hard to track me down based on only what I look like"
Man, the internet sure was different back then.
It was and it was glorious.
It wasn't, he was ignorant for saying that back then too and only got away with it because it was a funny post and he was on that specific forum.
Back then in certain places people would dox you just because you were new and that's just how it worked.
As a dangerous internet person who has doxed several people, I can assure you that a face alone is not enough, and possibly the least useful bit of information.
@@Supahdenning yeah a face is the LEAST reliable information you could get, multiple times it has backfired when someone misidentified someone (though it can be useful for confirmation imo if you have other supporting info)
@@refraggedbean It can do something if you can get things like family pictures posted by relatives.
Had a BK cup with lid that we hid in a bush just outside the BK. Me and 2 buddies used it all summer in the 90’s.
"Its not about the soda batman... its about sending a message..."
I love how everyone is so worried about getting caught. The worst that happens is they ask you to leave.
I find it funny how he was too scared to put it on youtube in case the fbi tracked him down lmao
What would he even be charged with? Smuggling?

Boy your so right though
Accurate
I didn't think of that. 🤣
Well, they _were_ collecting Baja "Blast".
Missed opportunity:
Could have named it operation "fill up" after himself
