Outback Lunch

July 05, 2024 03:57PM
Hi! I’ve only done the regular dinner and birthday shops for them, but now lunch is showing up as being available this week. Does anyone know if the guidelines are the same? I’m not sure about eating steak that early in the day. Thanks for your input!

It was a simple fun shop for 2 people. Only one person is required to order steak.

Even on the lunch shop? Ok, thank you. That might be a hard NO then.

They do have some lower-priced steak options for lunch, and there is a special on Wednesdays where you get a small sirloin, fries, and a drink (beer or soda) for around $14. Seems reasonable enough to me. Also, don't forget to sign up for their rewards program. I mysteriously earned a few bonuses and those came in handy on my most recent shop where I had more than one other person with me.

Be sure to leave a 20% tip. It's easily not seen in the instructions.

There is a skimpy, but good lunch menu with slightly reduced prices. My son and I managed to come in under reimbursement, including tip, using the lunch menu.

Sorry cannot tell- it is against rules to give the name of MSC once a client is named- and the shops are misery with the report requirements with 250 character requirements for comments- so fret not not worth the trouble!

Let's just say it's one you can shop for.

Just a head's up on these if you pay using multiple gift cards:

I paid with four of them, and the values on three were completely depleted. When the server returned, she only included a receipt to sign for the card with an amount remaining on it [which I used for the tip, along with .97 cash]. The editor didn't care for my explanation and left a note that it wouldn't be approved next time.

"Gee, can I have the receipts for those gift cards that aren't worth anything now? My husband uses them to floss his teeth."

Lesson learned.

I have done this and was able to get a receipt showing the final full payment with all of the gift cards listed so it showed the total amount paid. It is perfectly reasonable for a customer to want to see an itemized payment receipt that shows each gift card and the amount/balance.
