A McDonald's employee has claimed workers destroy potentially lucrative Monopoly stickers so nobody fishes them from the bins at the fast food mega chain.
Players can take part in McDonald's Monopoly by collecting stickers found on the packaging of qualifying menu items.
These stickers have road names from a classic Monopoly board, including Mayfair and Fleet Street, and if a player collects a full set of they can win a big prize.
After a coronavirus-imposed break, the Monopoly for 2021 launched on August 25 and ends t oday.
On Wednesday a TikTok user with the username @devonwestx uploaded a short clip showing what, she says, McDonald's workers "have to do," with the stickers on the last day of the competition.

Her clip shows an apparent colleague washing empty food packaging in a bid to remove the coveted stickers so "nobody goes through the bins" and collects them.
Devon's full caption stated: "What we have to do on the last day of Monopoly with spare boxes so nobody goes through the bins and takes all the Monopoly stickers."
Her video has, at the time of writing, been liked over 75,000 times and played over 950,000 times. More than 1,600 people have commented.
Responding to a comment saying the workers could simply peel the stickers off, Devon replied sarcastically: "What, and be stood there for seven working days?"
The biggest prizes include a hot tub, a shopping spree, Ibiza or UK holidays, TVs and £100,000 in cash.
And new for 2021, prizes also include 1,000 VIP Gold Cards.
Those lucky enough to win one of these could get a free meal every week for a year at any McDonald's restaurant.
Last month, a woman who won free McDonalds meals for a year says "jealous" online trolls have made cruel comments about her weight.
Connie Bulloch, 24, bagged one of 1,000 VIP Gold Card Monopoly pieces after finding the winning ticket stuck to her meal at a McDonalds in Hamilton, South Lanarkshire.
Since finding the prize on August 27, the fast-food giant has sent the 24-year-old a flashy gold card in the post.
The card entitles Connie to one free medium meal a week for a whole year.
Connie said receiving her gold meal pass made her feel like "Charlie in the Chocolate Factory".
But, after sharing her exciting news on TikTok, she faced "cruel" abuse from online trolls.
She explained how she's been shamed as being 'built like a house' and said someone said to her 'give [the card] to me, it looks like you need to lose a few pounds'.
McDonald's have been contacted for comment.
