If you think your getting some great deal by going into fast food places and taking all the packets of condiments you can get then your playing yourself. That food chain already won by getting your feet in there. I doubt these companies fret of such things including the url minifier service.

Doesn't mean that said companies are OK with this. The difference is scale. Companies don't care until these tactics get popular enough to affect the bottom line. Chick-fil-a doesn't care about the honey because the "hack" isn't popular and hasn't been done at scale (yet). If it does get popular, you can bet that it will get banned.
