I assumed all these gimmicks were based on similar things from overseas, because humans love a gimmick.
NZ is the perfect guinea-pig market to test out gameification gimmicks before risking deploying them in a more important bigger market.
There wasn’t much in the way of gimmicks in England. Most places seemed to be focussed on cutting expenditure via whatever exploitative or customer-negative ways so that they could shave another 10p off the price of a bag of carrots.
But, there was actual competition so 🤷♂️
Pretty sure Australia has a lot of the same stuff.
