Exciting ‘modern’ update to Bunnings' sausage sizzles!
- Replies 39
Ah, Bunnings Warehouse – not only a handy one-stop-shop for all your hardware and gardening needs but also the place that hosts one of Australia's most beloved culinary traditions: the iconic sausage sizzle.
There's something uniquely calming about buying a perfect sausage sanga as you wander through the aisles. This simple activity, a staple for over 25 years, has been an effortless way for local community groups to gather much-needed funds.
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.
Seeing Bunnings take this step to back these groups, as well as bring ease to those who might find dealing with technology or having cash on hand challenging, truly warms our hearts.
This mobile payment option was first rolled out in 2021, but many shoppers are still unaware of this handy new payment method.
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.'
So, there it is! This convenient update to Bunnings' famous sausage stands is set to simplify our lives and tickle our taste buds.
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?
