Burger King Japan is recruiting secret agents for a mystery shopping mission
I have never really understood how James Bond is able to be a secret agent. For a role that is supposed to be discreet, every action he seems to take is counter-intuitive to that very notion. Yet for generations, Bond and other movie spies have fueled children’s fantasies of going undercover, completing secret missions, and slipping away undetected. Rarely do people get to live out that dream, but now a lucky are being offered the chance to do exactly that from a very unlikely source: .

Burger King Japan has put out a recruitment notice, inviting people to sign up for a secret mission. The task?

For those who are fortunate enough to become spies, in addition to the coupon, , but remember the order will be chosen by the company, so a fast food blowout is sadly not on the table. However, free food is free food, so don’t let that put you off. It doesn’t end there, though. You’ll also , although it’s probably best to avoid wearing the T-shirt during your visit lest you blow your cover.

There are two more notes to bear in mind when undertaking this mission. chosen, so be sure to pick somewhere nearby. Also, .
Even if you don’t get selected to be a spy, you still get a coupon out of it, so there’s still a good reason to apply, which you can do through the link to the official site below. If you’re still craving an infiltration challenge, you could check out the ‘shoplifting experience’ store (no actual theft involved), but you better act fast as tickets are disappearing quickly.
