So...

[PsYcHoZeRoSk8eR]

It's that time of year again. That special time of year that I know that each and every one of you have been waiting the past year for. I'm talking of course about McDonald's Monopoly...

Today was the first day of this special event. I made sure to participate. I was lucky enough to get a message from McDonalds early this afternoon letting me know that the event had started and I promptly made plans to go for dinner.

I would like to know if anyone else is planning on playing this year. And if anyone else has ever won this game. This year I'm going to be keeping some very detailed notes and I'll be posting them later this year as I take this game way too seriously.

So, for the next 40 days happy eating.

Re: So...

Given that I work at a McDonald's I can't play. So retarded. But, I can peel off a bunch of stickers, get the good ones, and sell them.

Re: So...

I couldn't torture my soul by defiling my body with McDonalds just to get some cash.

If you win big bucks they check your background.

Re: So...

Wow rzr, that has to suck. McDonalds is quite basically saying they don't trust their workers for s***.

I get the feeling though, that McDonalds doesn't lose a cent over this because of all the profit they make from poeple trying to win. You can't say they aren't shrewd businessmen, that's for sure.

Re: So...

I hate that they are doing codes this year, instead of the peal and win game.

Re: So...

When it comes down to the big people have the brains. The little people, i.e. my bosses, don't, lol. They're so used to ripping off the industry that they think we're going to, too.

That's what happened when McDonalds Monopoly first started. Employees started stealing stickers and giving them to friends and not so close relatives. And this didn't just go towards McDonalds employees. I'm talking about employees who put the stickers on the products.

They stopped the game for a year or two.

I got Boardwalk when I was in Virginia.
But i'm sure Park Place is only available to the west coast, that's how they do it.

I have Park Place. I guess I'll have to drive for 2-3 days to find Boardwalk. Damn it.

It's like that for ALL contests for ALL cases for ALL companies.

They do it for fairness to those hoping to win the contest just as much as the company themselves. After all, if someone wins a million dollars from the contest, the company is paying one million dollars regardless of who wins. But if word gets out that the person who won a million dollars in a McDonald's contest was also under the employ of McDonald's, clearly that would mean mischief afoot and that would be bad news for the McDonald's Corporation.

But yeah, how can you go to McDonald's for this sort of thing. Like, I can understand it being a bit of an enticement to go there a little more often or if you were picking up food for the whole family, but to go often enough to take this sort of thing "seriously" is messed up. Ideally, you shouldn't be going there at all, and not just for health reasons... their food is primarily ****astic tasting.

And Mr. Nothing: I would say that you're wrong. That would be FAR too easy to defeat using basic snail mail tactics. What is far more likely is that they create MANY Park Places, but only print up 1 or 2 Boardwalk to complement it (depending, of course, on what they intend the chances to win the prize to be).
