The pair, from Woodridge, broke into a toilet block at the rear of the connected shops and used an iron bar to hack into a fibro wall.
They expected to arrive in Wrights Jewellers, but instead landed in the local KFC, where they surprised junior staff.
Undeterred, the pair staged an impromptu hold-up and escaped with $2600.
Peter Welsh, 32, and Dwayne Doolan, 31, were arrested and charged with the New Year's Eve robbery on Wednesday after a police raid on Welsh's Woodridge home.
The Southport Magistrates Court was yesterday told the toilet block tunnel marked the pair's third unsuccessful attempt to rob the independent jewellery store that day.

They should've brought their GPS with them.
You would think that after three tries they would have gotten it right, GPS or no. LOL! I can't believe they just went ahead and robbed the KFC. IDIOTS!
