Original Post:

Am I supposed to be excited? How bad must your resturant be running if the best you’ve got to offer is your excess ice.

Update:

Some of you have expressed criticism of how I’ve framed this. You guys are right. I’m fuckin losing it.

I think I’ve been spending too much time reading news, seeing dead babies, Názis taking over the country, the cIimate crisis etc… I’m not being sarcastic, I think this shit has fucked me up. I’m at the point where seeing a sign for lce is perceived as bleak doom.

I need to take a break from, everything. Thank you for holding up the mirror.

    I live in Minnesota and these signs show up in the drive thru of our local BK every summer and disappear every winter. I don’t think it’s any kind of special promotion, probably just an additional revenue stream.

    The fountain machines typically have a bunch of ice in the hopper already, I’m guessing any bagged ice they sell is probably pretty high margin and not frequent enough to interfere with the primary business.

    That’s not a promotion, just a thing they’re selling for the summer season. Damn convenient too IMO

    Not uncommon to do during heat waves or summer events. Can be cheaper than buying it from a grocery store
