Update – they got a few more glasses
I was at the McDonalds in Vomp a few hours ago – I had to get a decent dinner somewhere in this village… . Anyways, the McDonalds was full of ads for free coke glasses which would be given away along with each menu. Beeing the coke glass freak that I am(want to make me happy? send me a coke glass…), I immediately ordered a menu and wanted a pink glass – only to be told that the glasses were out. But why was the damn McDonalds full of ads like the one below(made with Palm Treo 600 due to no pictures policy):
Basically, the McDonalds designer shot himself in the foot heavily. He created a bad impression with me – I felt a$$ed out of my cash. I went there to buy a glass, and only found out that the glasses were out when I had already placed my order.
When starting a blowout sale, make sure that there is enough of the stuff available. If the stuff runs out, put up a big shield telling customers that the stuff ran out and that you apologize; and pull the ads… .
What do you think?
