After the same callers try to get the same discounted items on the show in the first 30 minutes or so, the phone lines become dead. Then that is when the daily parade of number checking leeches start to check in. These are the people that are so cheap they never buy anything and just call in to hope and pray their card number matches one that is supposedly drawn on a daily basis by the hosts which entitle the winner to win $100.00 of free coupons. This show has to give away so many free coupons in order to entice the people to listen, that without these free giveaways they would have about 5 callers a day. If you do not believe me, just dial in their program every weekday morning at 7 am and listen, and then have a good laugh, unless you have been conned into participating into this farce, then you probably would want to cry. The station tries to convince the listening public and the business owners that they have given out 3000 membership cards, but what they fail to disclose is probably 2 or 3 or even 4 family members have different numbers and also that when most of the general public finds out what kind of show this is, they drop out. So I really estimate the total listening audience would be a few hundred at most and that is on the busiest day.

Tune in this any morning and you will get the point.  The first caller every day gets the Festival Buffet like it is such a valuable item.  They are like a bunch of leeches going for the same blood oozing out of an open sore.  After the buffet is scooped up by the first caller every day, the other 2 callers usually hang up.  I am sure this is the kind of business the Fiesta Casino is looking for.  These people would not even spend 1 extra penny in the casino.  And to top it off the same 20 people or so always get the buffet.

Without these number checking leeches, this show would be over before it even started.  In my estimation take away the trivia asking and answering and the number checking portion of the show and you would not have over 10 people call in daily.  PROVE ME WRONG AND DO IT.  Remember when you only had sales 1 or 2 days a week no one called the other days, now you have to have special sales every day on top of free giveaways, or no one calls.

SPECIAL UPDATE:  Now the hosts are forcing people to spend $25 buying the competitors products before they have "THE PRIVILEGE" of purchasing the Festival Buffet.  I am sure The Fiesta marketing department will love to hear this.  It seems they used to do the same with Ruth Chris Steak House until management at Ruth Chris found out and immediately went off the show!
