In college I ran a pizza parlor in big university town. Wasted/stoned students/customers often asked me if I could cut them a deal. I always offered a one for the price of two special. Most had a shit-fit when I told them their order total…
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
(I’m confident that KFC’s was just a legitimate mistake of poorly set-up automation. It’s still approximately the worst sale theme, though.)
(Also, I thought it was a lot longer ago than just Nov 2022… so this fits squarely in the age of AI being used more than it should. If that one happened because of letting AI run things without human oversight, then I take back my belief that it was a legitimate mistake.)
(Great; now I’m gonna be fixating on this for the rest of the day.)
Thursday Specials!
“We can’t math weekend sale!”
@narfcake it’s a threat. “buy now before it goes higher!”
@jouest The “Get It Before New Tariffs Kick In On Monday” weekend sale.
All of those ‘Mediocre’ sales
@Cerridwyn they are…so-so.
“Welcome to the Expired Food Products Weekend Extravaganza Sale!”
and with every order we’ll include a free pack of expired face masks!*
*may be subject to import tariffs, We do not know how much they will be, but you’re going to have to pay them.
@ItalianScallion That might work surprisingly well for Meh.
@ItalianScallion @rockblossom concur!
@jouest Please don’t do this for the June Mehrathon! (but if you do, I would hope you’d give me a truly excellent IRK for giving you the idea)
@ItalianScallion all mehrathons occur at the whim of a magic 8-ball at the office
@jouest It is decidedly so.
@ItalianScallion @jouest
/eightball will there be a mehrathon in June with expired food
Better not tell you now

@chienfou @tinamarie1974
Did they ever pay it?
@Kyeh @tinamarie1974
Nah… But it sure sobered them up some!
Not specifically a “weekend” sale, but I think this might be the worst sale theme you could run:
If you need help visualizing how to make it work, KFC ran a demo on Kristallnacht 2022.
