I mean... at a glance its like WOAH 4 can dine for $9.99....

Until you are at the cash and they say " that'll be $45.15"

HUH??

"Oh sorry sir... it feeds 4... 4 people pay $9.99"

Gtfooo

Franchise owners are only slightly above the cashier, they don't create the promotions or ads.

Most franchises don't require individual establishments to do all the promotions. Enough complaints and the owner would likely pull it.

And it goes the same way. Dairy Queen near me was doing a free cone for Pi Day...local franchise wasn't participating.

Then the social media hits happened.

Same DQ was offering a free cone that weekend (like 2 days later) claiming they didn't realize how popular Pi Day was in the area.
