HUNGRY JACKS PROMOTION

Some how I got talked into at work to do a Hungry Jacks Promotion on the weekend's. It's bad enough I have to work Mon to Fri, now I'm working weekends. What does this require? I will be given a territory to travel to. My duty is to mystery shop all the Hungry Jacks in that area. Basically if they offer to upsell me, I congratulate them and reveal that I am the Hungry Jacks Mystery Shopper and then provide them with prizes. The prizes are sponsored by Coke and include water bottles, yo yo's and caps.

I signed up to do 2 weekends in a row. The first weekend is drive thru. This isn't too bad. We drive in, order and if they are successfull then we park the car and go in to hand out prizes and certificates.

The territory for the drive thru is the hills area. Now when I signed up I thought it would be like Castle hill etc. It was but I had to travel out to like Windor, Stanhope Gardens, Blacktown & Dural. I've barely been to these areas so I used a map at work prior to journey plan my trip only to change it on the day.

Oishii decided to come with me on this operation. Mainly for the free food of course. So we jump into the car to head to the first Hungry Jacks store. Along the way we decide that what ever meals we buy we have to eat. We have 6 Hungry Jacks to visit today - as you can see we really haven't thought this through, have we?

Since we can only buy one meal at each Hungry Jacks store, we decide that Oishii will have the first meal, then me, then her again etc... until all stores are covered.

At each venue I'm supposed to get them to fill out a survey for them to make suggestions on prizes. At one of the venues one staff member snatched the survey off me and spent a good 20 to 25 minutes filling it out. I've never seen someone take it so seriously LOL Oishii and I went for a walk to see if Aldi is open to kill some time but unfortunately Aldi was closed. On our return to the store the guy was still filling at the form. I had to request it back. Looking at the form the guy was requesting Coke underpants LOL Where do I find these people?

By the time we got to the last Hungry Jacks we were ready to throw up. Somewhere in between Oishii decided to get a baguette which cut her throat to pieces. That bread is hard. It can do serious damage to you! What the hell were you thinking woman?

Our Journey Plan went something like this - Blacktown - Stanhope Gardens - Rouse hill - Windsor - Dural. That's alot of driving. By the second meal we were looking forward to the long drive to the next venue as we couldn't eat another burger. Luckly we took a few wrong turns and delayed the entire trip. Mind you we only had 3 hours to do the 6 venues. That's a Hungry Jacks meal every hour for each of us.

Once we finished Dural, we decided to stop at Castle Hill to catch a movie. At least that way we can take a rest from all the driving.

You think we would learn right? No the following week we did the Parramatta region. This also included North Rocks, North Ryde and all the Hungry Jacks in Parramatta. For some stupid reason we figured we can eat all the meals again. I swear if this doesn't send my cholestrol through the roof I don't know what will.

This was an easier territory. We rocked up to Parramatta westfields to realise that Hungry Jacks inside the westfields has closed. I've never seen us so happy in our lives. Wait the only other time was in Mykonos when we found a flight off the bloody Island.

We quickly jumped into the car to do North Rocks and North Ryde. The plan was to head back to Parramatta westfields to do the Hungry Jacks store outside and then shop. This time we had to dine in. By the time we finished I was ready to throw up again.

Lesson learnt from all of this - NO HUNGRY JACKS FOR 6 MONTHS!!!

Oh Just for the record the program does state clearly "You do not have to eat the meals purchased" hahah
