Are KFC Children's Day limited toys out of stock everywhere as they say. Recently, Zhongxin financial reporters logged in to the KFC APP to find Children's Day packages in many stores in Beijing, but they could not be searched. The reporter also consulted a number of KFC stores in Beijing, and the clerks also said that the Children's Day toys released on the 20th were sold out.

According to the feedback of many KFC store staff, the sales of Children's Day toys this time are particularly hot. The clerk of a KFC store in Beijing's Xicheng District mentioned, "Many people have come to wait at 8 a.m., and after nearly half an hour of sales, three boxes of toys have been sold out, and the egg yolk brother's suitcase has also been sold out." ”

The reporter noted that KFC also opened a pre-sale service this time, purchasing the "June Day" meal for two in advance, and then paying the balance from May 5 to May 20, you can get a voucher and go to the store to redeem. However, due to the hot sales, when many people went to redeem, the toys in the selected restaurants and other surrounding stores were sold out, and they could only apply for refunds, which also caused consumer dissatisfaction.

On the 24th, McDonald's limited edition of "June <>st" Children's Day toys also encountered the same situation.

According to McDonald's, if you place an order to buy any product during the event period, you can get a Tetris game console for an additional 30 yuan, which is limited to 40,25 nationwide.

"I heard from my colleagues that three boxes of toys came, and they were sold out in half an hour." An employee of a McDonald's store in Beijing's Fengtai District recently told reporters, "It seems that other stores in Beijing are out of stock." ”

Just to ask for toys, the phenomenon of "substitute eating" is back?

Because it is a limited toy for Children's Day and is sold with meals, the reporter noticed that on social platforms and second-hand e-commerce platforms, for KFC and McDonald's packages, "substitute eating" services have also been derived.

On social platforms, you can see many netizens saying, "find substitute food" and "take up food". There are generally two rules of "taking over and eating", one is "the order fee is paid by the other party, the toys belong to the other party, and the meals belong to themselves"; The other is a clear price, such as, "65 free shipping, toys belong to you." ”

There are many people in KFC Super Talk who are receiving "substitute eating" services.

Under the national sale of Children's Day packages, stores in different places sell out at different speeds, which also provides space for the "substitute food" business. Some non-local netizens can also pay for mail after undertaking the "substitute eating" list.

It is worth mentioning that since the four toys in the KFC Children's Day package are distributed immediately, if you want to specify toys, you often have to order multiple packages as a "price", which also raises questions about whether it is suspected of waste. In this regard, some netizens who "take over food" said that they promised not to waste food, and "meals can be designated for sanitation workers or other groups."

The reporter noted that KFC had previously launched a blind box package. Because some consumers did not hesitate to spend 10494,106 yuan to buy <> sets of meals in order to collect a complete set of KFC blind boxes, and some consumers purchased "substitute eating" services for "asking for a baby", they were named and criticized by the China Consumer Association, "It will cause unnecessary food waste due to excessive purchase." ”

The price nearly doubled, and the "scalper" was sold at a markup

In addition to deriving the "substitute eating" service, due to the shortage of KFC and McDonald's Children's Day toys, many "scalpers" are also reselling toys online.

On a second-hand platform, the Sanrio toys sold by KFC this time are priced between 70 yuan and 100 yuan, which is more expensive than the 69.9 yuan Children's Day package. The price of McDonald's Tetris game consoles is mostly between 40 and 60 yuan.

On an e-commerce platform, Sanrio toys sold by KFC for Children's Day are also being sold at a premium. In many stores with high sales, the price of Sanrio toys has exceeded 90 yuan, and the price of some styles has even exceeded 60 yuan. The list price of McDonald's Tetris game consoles is also concentrated above <> yuan.

Offline is sold out everywhere, and the online supply is sufficient, which also makes many netizens complain, "The toys in the store are not as many as those on the second-hand platform" and "dare to prepare more goods, they have been taken away by scalpers." ”

According to the KFC clerk, on June 6, there will be a wave of goods. "But I don't know how much will come, if you want to buy, it is recommended to go to the store as early as possible on the same day, or go to the app on time to book."
