Would you like a Big Mac with
your Aggie Bucks?
The McDonald’s on University
Drive and on Southwest Parkway
started accepting Texas A&M’s
Aggie Bucks last Thursday.
Bobbi Doyle, the local store
marketing representative, said
the implementation was simple.
“We had a meeting with the
Aggie Buck people and they
showed us how easy it would be
to do it,” Doyle said. “We’re
kind of like an experiment ...
We’re working out all the bugs
with them. We’re like their pi
lot restaurant.”
Even though McDonald’s is
the first off-campus restaurant to
accept Aggie Bucks, off-campus
book stores started taking them
last fall.
Lewis Rose, a manager at the
University Drive McDonald’s,
said business prompted them to
turn to Aggie Bucks.
“The managers got together
and decided to do it to draw more
people,” Rose said. “The main
thing is to draw more business.
The summer is just slow and in
the fall, we’re going to be
slammed with business.”
With the Underground Food
Court closing early on Sundays,
McDonald’s offers a place where
students can still use their Aggie
Bucks. Doyle said this was one of
the motivating factors in in
stalling the system.
“When the Underground closes
on weekends, this is an opportu
nity to have a good meal on Sun
day evening, a little variety,”
Doyle said. “It’s tough when stu
dents don’t have a place to eat
and have to use their own funds.”
Rachel Frady, a junior animal
science major, said she likes the
ease of using Aggie Bucks.
“I love it,” Frady said. “It’s so
convenient because I live off cam
pus. I have Aggie Bucks and am
not on campus much. At the end
of every semester, I have lots of
money left and now I’m going to
be broke.”
Aggie Bucks seem like an
unlimited amount of free mon
ey to students.
Jarrett Herring, a senior com
puter science major, said he now
plans to use his Aggie Bucks
more often.
“Now you don’t have to mess
with nickels and dimes,” Herring
said. “All you have fo do is swipe
the card. A lot of people are going
to use them more because parents
pay and it’s free McDonald’s.”
In addition to Southwest Park
way and University Drive loca
tions, the McDonald’s being built
on George Bush will also install
the Aggie Bucks system.
Stacy Muller, a senior
bioenvironmental science ma
jor, said she found out about
Aggie Bucks at McDonald’s
when she returned to College
Station last week.
