Coles shoppers are feeling a little deflated after a beloved store tradition came to an end. The popular Hot Roast Chicken Promise, which allowed customers to receive a free hot roast chook if the store's roast chicken warmer shelf was empty, has been quietly scrapped from all stores. But here's where it gets controversial... Some people online blame videos promoting the lesser-known 'shopping hack' as the reason for the end of the offer, while others say it's all about saving money. Coles has confirmed that the vouchers are no longer available, citing improved availability of the much-loved chooks during busy times as the reason for the change. One bargain hunter had been taking advantage of the little-known policy for six years straight, scoring free hot roast chooks from Coles. However, others on Reddit claim that shoppers were abusing the system by picking up roast chickens and leaving them around the shop to empty the shelf and claim a voucher. So, what's the real reason behind the end of the Hot Roast Chicken Promise? Is it a case of saving money, or is there another factor at play? We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments. Do you think the offer was worth keeping, or was it time for a change? Let us know!
