McDonald’s Monopoly Best Chance Game

Maybe I need glasses….

The other day we got a Best Buy Buck prize while buying a meal at McDonald’s. I was amazed to see it was a $25 prize.

For nearly a week now I’ve believed I had won $25. Turns out not!

I must be needing glasses - the prize was for $2$CDN. I’ve never seen this setup before, and with the small font size I was fooled.

I was lucky that found out before going there. I was reading about the fellow that won $1 million after kicking a field goal, and there just happened to be an ad for the McD Monopoly Game in that piece.

Back to McD/BB - I’m sure it was designed this way on purpose. This poorly, in my mind, designed game piece is impacting my relationship with BB. I’m quite disappointed with this “deception”.

…maybe I’ll shop somewhere else for a while.

Employable

Filed under: personal, jobs — roar @ 12:34 am

UPDATE: Moved from Blogger December 5, 2005

95 % of all jobs in the Lower Mainland are never posted - or at least that is what I have heard.

That’s a lot of jobs - mostly filled through networking and internal promotions.

I’m available for one of these jobs!

Leads are appreciated - marketing, internet, operations, strategy, management, etc., etc. are all areas of interest. My backround is broad and I enjoy a challenge.
