So, I was at BP the other night for dinner with a friend and we received the worst service ever. So, when our waitress provided us with a survey opportunity (one of those things you get at the bottom of your receipt sometimes) I jumped at the chance to attempt to win $1000 bucks in exchange for my disappointment.
One of the questions on the survey was whether or not I could remember any recent BP advertising, what it was, and whether or not I liked it. I could remember that super annoying TV ad that they ran recently to promote the 5 pizzas/5 pastas for $10 bucks with the family with the black-rimmed glasses. You know the one. I described the ad, told them how much I hated it, then told them how effective it was!
Despite my displeasure with it, I obviously remembered the ad, the restaurant it was for, and the promotion. It succeeded at its purpose. Damn, I hate it when crappy ads work... what am I getting myself into?
Here's hoping I win the $1000... cross your fingers for me!

BP has a history of annoying ads, from waaayyy back in the day when John Ratzenberger (Cliff Claven) used to be their celebrity spokeperson, to more recently when a pre-"deal or no deal" Howie Mandel used to cruise the restaurant and annoy patrons at their tables.
That being said, I do enjoy their food for the most part. Bad service usually is caused by a single server not doing their job properly.
There seems to be a lot of those "fill out a survey for your chance to win $1,000" deals going around lately. I was at Staples today and I was chosen at "random" for one. The cashier made it sound like I had already won something. I got excited and then realized I had to fill out a survey first. I've also seen it at the Bargain Shop. Why are they all the same?
