    How much is a "short stack and drink" on a normal night?

    • gimmebargains on 11/07/2016 - 22:20
      +4

      Short stack is normally $12.30
      For the drinks: Marshmallow Chocolate is $6.60, Coffee is $4.00 and Fizzy drink is $4.20. So you can save up to $6.90

      • Reggienator on 11/07/2016 - 22:46

        There's literally two for one short stack on almost every shop a docket. I've never paid $12 for a single short stack.

          Do you manage to eat two short stacks in one sitting, or would you prefer to have one with a drink?

        +2

        Is it, though? The amount of deaths and serious accidents vs the increase of people walking around.. I'd say the amount of injuries/deaths occuring correlate evenly with the population growth on the streets, regardless of what they happen to be doing.

        • Corapmafya on 12/07/2016 - 10:15
          +1

          I was trying to make a funny but since you asked; I doubt it's having a huge impact on the number of people being injured while staring at their phones and moving about on the streets regardless of what is on the screen. This is anecdotal but I have seen plenty of people using their phones in vehicles and when crossing streets before Pokemon GO was released. I'm not trying to be high and mighty - I've changed playlists and had a quick look at an SMS while in motion on the odd occasion. I know I shouldn't and I try not to but I can't say I've never done it.

        • King Steuart on 12/07/2016 - 10:20
          +2

          The amount of people doing it while driving is worrying.. especially the ones going 10kph so they can incubate their eggs.

        • theguyrules on 12/07/2016 - 10:56

          @Putnum: I run it while I drive home from work, cause peak hour traffic means that I'm often doing less than 20km/h which is reportedly the speed required to incubate. However I won't try and get Pokemon while driving as thats insane.
          I kind of wish there was a way to stop people from being able to play while driving a car, but that would stop passengers so theres no real way.

        • King Steuart on 12/07/2016 - 12:19

        • dyziplen on 12/07/2016 - 08:54

          @The Land of Smeg:

          Outside doesn't have 4 hour continuous lures. If say, you go to the one at Glen Waverly. Its all indoors, away from the rain and cold.

        • tron07 on 12/07/2016 - 10:01

          @The Land of Smeg:

          the deal is you get free wifi to catch free pokemon from the active lure

        • [Deactivated] on 12/07/2016 - 10:31

          @tron07: A potential saving of $6.90 off a fairly plain menu item and free Wi-Fi (which you can get almost everywhere, not to mention so many cheap Mobile/Mobile Broadband deals) just doesn't cut it for me. Sorry.

        • Pyrock on 12/07/2016 - 13:30

          @tron07:
          Could just use the money on your own lures

      Lures actually bring with it random chances for anything. Have caught many a rares from them inc the starter three, jynx, onyx ect

    • alebox on 12/07/2016 - 17:43

      pidgeys are actually really good. catch as many as you can and cheaply evolve them, they are an xp landmine

  • stevensx on 12/07/2016 - 00:21

    Interesting….why do they ask for a date if it's only available on the 14th of this month anyway?

    • gimmebargains on 12/07/2016 - 00:31

      Good point. I took it as DOB since most of their forms also ask for this (when they verify your ID)

      • stevensx on 12/07/2016 - 00:39

        That was my initial thought. Just to cover my butt I put it as the date that this is occurring. Was expecting a rejection if a future date was also my birth date but nope it went through fine.

  • dtrax on 12/07/2016 - 01:12

    Why do people prefer catching pokemon at night than during daytime?
    Any difference?

    • doperst on 12/07/2016 - 01:26

      Yes, at night you can catch rare nocturnal pokemons.

      some pokemon seem to only appear when its night time. some people have to go to work/uni during daytime and have free time at night time. I don't know, I personally prefer to hunt them at night time as well. Plus, less non-pokemon hunters on the street, those wandering around are most likely looking down on their phones - ie. looking for pokemon as well.

      in strategic marketing - is a bloody good idea that will make them a mint

    • dyziplen on 12/07/2016 - 09:39

      If the Glen Waverly store is representative, then I doubt they care. Went by for lunch on a Friday. 90% of the seats were empty.

    • stevensx on 12/07/2016 - 10:50
      +1

      In addition to the other replies to this comment, you're getting customers in that wouldn't normally go. I know that I wasn't planning on going to Pancake Parlour on Thursday night, and now I will for a discount meal and some PokeFun!

      Better to get people in who will stay for a while as opposed to those people not coming in at all. Also notice they've strategically chosen a Thursday night. Many people have work the next day so they may not stay till midnight which may have occurred if they chose a Friday/Saturday.

  • Jules_d1 on 12/07/2016 - 08:13

    This is a brilliant marketing idea. You are getting people coming in to your store who probably wouldn't have spent money with you anyway. These people will most likely come with friends as well. If they are there long enough they will probably spend more anyway.

    Lets not forget the fact that they now have their contact details so they can now market to them until the "buy or die"

    As someone who works in marketing and sales, this is utterly fantastic.

    Well played Pancake Parlor marketing team…well played.

      I've found it I stick around the major sites long enough (say half an hour) where several lures are in the same vicinity, it really, really starts to pay off.

    Hmm, no Chadstone or Knox? Maybe they just don't have Pokestops there.

    Also I (profanity) knew they were activating lures when I was at Eastland the other day and caught a Lickitung, and they liked the photo I put on facebook of it. It's a great marketing tactic!

    • lyl-Lychee on 12/07/2016 - 10:03

      Yeah bugger no Chadstone

    • cleavy on 12/07/2016 - 12:14

      possibly because they don't have wi-fi connectivity at Knox (since it's not part of the main shopping centre)?

      • MrMcHairyHead on 12/07/2016 - 12:17

        People would still come. I assume they can't keep Knox open that late, or they don't have a Pokestop there.

    I've been playing games like Ingress etc for years, trying to get people into them without much success. Why has Pokemon Go suddenly become this craze?

    • theguyrules on 12/07/2016 - 11:56
      +2

      Because Pokemon? I would have thought that was pretty obvious.
      I tried to get into Ingress at uni but I only knew 1 person playing it and it was really not that fun.
      Pokemon is way better, tons of people playing it and the nostalgia value.

    • scrimshaw on 12/07/2016 - 13:24

      Because it's Pokemon.

      Everyone knows what Pokemon are. Plus, years ago we wouldn't have dreamed of actually physically moving around and catching pokemon, now we can do so using Augmented reality.

      Pokemon however only has 1/5th the features of Ingress but it's grown to be much bigger simply because it's based on a really old franchise that every 90's kid knows about.
