However, amidst this tradition, one common complaint continually arises among shoppers. This complaint concerns the lack of a cashless payment option at the sausage stand.

Picture this: you're out completing chores, your stomach rumbling in response to the enticing aroma wafting from the grill, only to discover you've left your spare change at home.

It's a familiar frustration, but the good news is on the horizon. Bunnings Warehouse, in response to this persistent issue, has made an exciting announcement.

Transitioning into the digital age, Bunnings Warehouse has introduced a modern update to its sausage stands.

From now on, the convenience of mobile payment options will be available for anyone keen to satisfy their hunger with food and drinks. No need to scramble for coins or miss out on your treat; now, you can pay for your sausage sandwich using a QR code with your smartphone.

As explained by Matt Tyler, Bunnings General Manager of Operations, to 7NEWS.com.au: ‘We offer a free mobile payment option to community groups fundraising through sausage sizzles at our stores. This makes it simple for them to boost fundraising and gives customers a cashless way to pay for their sausage and support their local community group.’

To make this deal even better, Bunnings will shoulder all transaction fees linked with the mobile payment option. This guarantees that community groups receive all the money raised.

One Sydney shopper expressed her excitement at discovering the option at Bunnings Eastgardens.

'I couldn’t believe it. So many times, I’ve had to give the sausage sizzle a miss because I didn’t have any change or notes on me. So I was really excited to see that you can now pay with your phone. It was really easy. One tap and I was done.'

Key Takeaways

• Bunnings Warehouse has introduced a mobile payment option for its iconic sausage sizzle.
• Customers can now use cash or pay for their sausage sandwich via a QR code.
• Bunnings incurs all transaction fees, ensuring community groups receive 100 per cent of the funds raised.

Remember, it's up to each community group to decide whether to offer mobile payments. So, be sure to look out for signs of this payment option.

So don't forget to show your support for local community groups by treating yourself to a tasty sausage sanga on your next Bunnings trip.

And to end on a fun note, a question for you all—wouldn't it be exciting to snag your next well… snag with just a tap on your phone? What do you think?

There is nothing at all about the horrible use of iconic word at all as it sucks! Plus the image of those very fattening ugly sausages which have a very sickening smell around making one want to vomit! No one really knows where the money is really going either!

Excellent. Now I wish that the clubs would buy nice fat sausages as those pictured in this story and use buns not a piece of bread. But how many times in the past I had to miss out because I had no change. Thanks Bunnings.

 

[Bill Mcl]

There are lots of places in rural Australia that ONLY accept CASH, If you break down and don't have any cash, you're screwed, you should always carry some cash. The banks call it convenience, but it's only convenient for them because you are doing their work without being paid for it.
As far as the snags are concerned, 9 times out of 10 they're not cooked properly anyway.

 

[Suzanne rose]

When hubby goes to Bunnings on a Saturday morning he makes sure he has a few gold coins on him before leaving home.
For the comment above who says the smell is disgusting, this smell of cooked BBQ snags is what entices people. Most find it hard to resist .

Bunnings is known to BBQ the best sausages otherwise people wouldn't go back for more !

There is nothing at all about the horrible use of iconic word at all as it sucks! Plus the image of those very fattening ugly sausages which have a very sickening smell around making one want to vomit! No one really knows where the money is really going either!

As a volunteer for one of Lions Clubs, who has worked at our sausage sizzle stand at Bunnings, I can assure you, the money is well spent on various charities. We are volunteers, which means we donate our time for free and receive no payment. I'm sorry you don't like the sausages or the smell, but you are in the minority. We raise quite a bit of money at the sausage sizzle stands!!

I've actually heard people say omg is that a BBQ I smell apparently they came in the other entrance and didn't know about the bunnings sausage sizzle.

I think my husband makes his Saturday trips just for the sausage on a roll

I applaud all you volunteers, a job well done

 

[johno cpfc]

At our local mens shed we are having major renovations to our rented premises for the next twelve months or so and we desperately need extra funds so this is our main way to do it . We have been using this new method for some time and it certainly seems to bring in more people. I think you will find that the so called awefull smell is not the sausages but the onions cooking which i find brings more people .

Excellent. Now I wish that the clubs would buy nice fat sausages as those pictured in this story and use buns not a piece of bread. But how many times in the past I had to miss out because I had no change. Thanks Bunnings.

the clubs don't pay for them, they are supplied by Bunnings.

 

[Petra]

I go to Bunnings just for the sausage sizzle with yummy fried onions. I don't go into Bunnings because I don't need anything in there. I love it ♥

 

[AlanQ]

the cashless option has been operating for quite some time. Difference being the clubs provided their own eftpos machine & consequently paid the cost of the transaction. Not that Bunning is footing the bill, the entire amount raised goes to the club. Transaction fee is 1.5% so for every $100's raised, the financial institution (not necessarily a bank) made $1:50c, personally prefer Bunning to wear the cost and the fund raising efforts get 100% of the money.

1 of my brothers loves Bunnings sausage sizzles

 

[CP-ANN PEARCE 7623]

We are in Shepparton Victoria and Bunnings do a magnificent job with there sausage sizzles

 

[Jennylolo]

never had a snag that was not cooked well. We have bread not rolls. Love them. And always with onions. But they are not set by the door, so it is possible to use one side of the 2 door entrances and not really be effected by aromas.

I Find there sausages are cooked perfectly

 

[gollywog]

Bloody hell and what about the people who do not have a mobile phone or do not use it for their money needs!!
What happened to that word 'CHOICE', an act of choosing between two or more possibilities?? I would like the choice of using cash!!
Well, the Charities have lost out on our money, no more sausage sangers for us!!
