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.

    Depending on the size of the bag, that might not be a bad deal.

    In Australia most petrol stations and liquor stores sell ice in 5 kg bags. I’m not sure if you can even buy it here at Hungry Jack’s (the name of the Burger King franchise in Australia).

        Glad the reality check had a positive affect. We’re all having a rough time right now so I get your state of mind.

    Sonic sells ice too. I think they do it every summer. Can top off your cooler while picking up food.

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

    i get mine from mcdonald’s! you fill the coolers at the store and then the last place you hit on your way out of town for camping or the beach is the cheap ice to top off the coolers.

    it’s always been cheaper than the bagged ice at the gas station or grocery store where i live.

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

        It’s all about add on sales. If you go in and buy just a burger, even at the prices today they’re likely losing money from that sale. They want you to buy sides or a drink, and if it’s a spot where people are ordering meals for a game or event ice is a quick way to make more money. All it takes is a sign placement, and if they don’t know you have ice, they aren’t going to order any.
