How To Make 80's Style Hairbows

Eurostar and owe me a Burger King Whooper

In London, there is rain. Because without the London rain, it would not be London.

In London, there are many French. There are so many out there who are working or are the tourists that it's not even funny.

But especially in London, there are tons of Burger King. And that Burger King restaurants are no longer with us a long time.

Last month, we thought the return of Burger King in France through a teaser campaign which took place in Paris but which proved in fact partnership with Eurostar to promote Burger King in London .

History to mark the occasion, Eurostar presents a promotional offer where we are entitled to a Whooper free for a menu purchased on presentation of their ticket Eurostar .







I find it a little twisted to promote a restaurant at 2:15 am in Paris ... in another country. Except ... I made a visit to London last week and have been able to take advantage of this offer. Shortly after arriving at the station to St Pancras International, it was time for lunch, and I stopped on the first Burger King on my way, namely one at Euston Road 27. Good thing this is the address cited in the advertisement.

That's me right now I enjoy in advance!

Both say right now, offer Eurostar sells us that did not work . Before ordering, I previously asked the cashier if the offer Eurostar for a free burger on. He said yes but he should have seen it with the Burger King inside the station . I have not seen stressed that there were people waiting behind me and especially because if the offer (at indicated in the video ) walked, she would have walked away.

Once back in France, I wanted to see if there was a point of order that I missed in the offer. There is indeed a condition somewhat ambiguous.

"View with restaurants!?? It would have meant that I would have to negotiate with the teller, as in a flea market? A bit strange as a principle.

But my misfortune did not stop there with Eurostar. Indeed, the site-plus.com Eurostar, we can find a set of bids offered by the Eurostar ticket on shopping, entertainment, museums. But there are also two offers on food. The Burger King is offering the first and the second offer is on the shop Whittard . Whittard is a chain of shops where you can find all kinds of tea, tea, chocolate powder ...

I (in theory) -20% off my order with the presentation of my ticket.
I'll on a shop in Regent Street , not far from Piccadilly Circus, which is far from a confidential location. Again, I will ask a seller if the offer Eurostar running. First she sees no what I mean. Then I showed him the site of his store on Eurostar on my iphone but as is a page in French, it does not help us. Finally, it passes a call to his supervisor and returned with the same answer: they do not know what the offer Eurostar .

I am not amused to test the validity of the other offers because I had a little advantage of my stay as it seems to me inconceivable that the misfortune of 2 shops, I fell every time the only employee which do not offer Eurostar.

I still wrote to Eurostar, not even to ask for compensation, just to get an explanation. I had an answer ...

where it says my message is passed to Customer Relations who will treat my request ... I think in football parlance, it's called "Sideline" and I expect that the explanation is like my and my whooper -20%, I can sit on it.

I know is that this is not a serious problem. It's just that before this trip, I saw a lot of pubs partnership Burger King - Eurostar and once there, when I see that it does not work, I feel that I made for "I-don't-know-not-too-what" ... or rather I know what and it is never nice ...
