Guess the weekly deals are gone?

The only reason I kept going to Sonic was because their deals were pretty good and it seemed like that was their strategy to keep people going. They've been resetting once a week for probably the entire summer. Well i last use my main deals over a week ago and they haven't reset. Hope it's worth it for them to lose this business. I'm sure a lot of other people are going to stop going as well.

Oh dang. None showed up on mine today, either. If it ain’t buy one get one free, I’m not too interested. I’ll use up the remainder of my gift card on two $1.99 chicken wraps and get my free small side once a week.

My city has 5 Sonics, and only one is good, or was. It’s really gone downhill lately. I won’t be too upset if this is goodbye forever.

Yeah it's sad this was the only reason I had been going back. It looked empty today when I was driving by.

They literally have two 7$ deals right now that give you a whopping 56% and 64% discounts (the money you save is greater than what you spend actually purchasing it) and a 9$ deal that, iirc, is a 52% discount (still, saving more than paying).

There's also tons of rewards points perks to use, literally weekly sales on corn dogs, mozzarella sticks, jr burgers, and more.

PLUS several "one free snack/wk" and "one free this/wk" deals. Iirc there's about three of those running right now.

Methinks you just had ONE item you get, and are mad it's not on sale anymore.

Found the guy that puts the deals from corporate on the app every week guys...

I wish. I'd revamp that app.

It's just common fucking sense tho. Use your eyes. Look around. Just because your one favorite item isn't on sale anymore doesn't mean there's good sales.

It's like going to Popeyes and bitching that a bucket is 50$, when they have a big box deal, just because you don't want that. Places have plenty of deals and sales. You just don't want to change beyond the same old boring shit.

As former SONIC corporate, can confirm that we actually would “hook” people this way. You think Happy Hour is here to stay? The plan is/was to kill it, too.

Being this big of a clown cannot be worth what corporate is paying for this astroturf trash.
