Speaking on his All Things podcast, Gage said he "steals receipts from tills or tables" - then uses their unique code to open a survey.
Gage claimed he uses ChatGPT to "write about a time that I had a horrible experience at McDonald's where I ordered a Big Mac".
He said he pastes the fake complaint into the feedback survey, which McDonald's uses for staff performance reviews.
The businessman added: "You might make the reviews even worse if they're not bad enough."

He claimed he has tricked McDonald's into giving him 100 vouchers in just nine months - adding "it tastes better when it's free".
