"hardees" news and stories

Do you remember that McDonald's chicken biscuit deal from last week, where they were handing out free samples? Well, it turns out that Hardee's was a bit miffed about that.

Hardee's says that they've had the best chicken biscuit since 1972, and they're out to prove it. So from now until June 30, you can get the purchase price refunded if you don't agree that the Hardee's chicken biscuit is the best one out there. According to one company spokesman, Hardee's is pretty confident that they won't be refunding much money.

I haven't had a Hardee's biscuit in so long I can't even count the years, but I do remember them being delicious. On the other hand, I had a McDonald's chicken biscuit a couple years ago when they first came out, and I thought it was horrible. I don't know how much has changed at either place, but based on my (albeit sketchy) experience, I'd say Hardee's is probably right. Does anyone have any more recent experiences they'd like to share?

How many young men and women do you know who clip coupons? Though there are certainly some out there who do, I imagine the general answer is probably not too many. Fast food restaurants have realized this, and in an effort to better reach their target market and entice them to eat at their establishment, many will be offering coupons that can be downloaded directly to a cell phone. Once on the phone, the consumer only has to show the screen to the cashier to receive the discounted price.

One company offering the free service, Cellfire, currently has downloadable coupons available for items such as either a free appetizer or $5 off a $15 purchase at T.G.I. Fridays, as well as various pizza and fast food deals. Hardee's in Indianapolis and St. Louis began using the service a few weeks ago to test their market, and if it proves to be successful they may expand it nationally.

Granted, this technology isn't exactly new, so some of you may already use this service, but it seems as though more and more restaurants and other businesses are getting onboard with the program.
