We went to Chick-Fil-A yesterday and found out they no longer offer the "senior drink" discount. The manager said since they couldn't give the discount to everyone, they stopped the one for seniors. I asked him then why didn't they just give everyone a discount. He sputtered around and said they decided to use that money for marketing instead.
I'm sure they deleted the senior discount so they can make even more MONEY!!! That corporation already does very well.
Cheep, cheep, cheep! Does anyone else feel disappointed that a company would remove a discount for seniors, especially when most other fast food chain offers one. Taco Bell gives a FREE senior drink.
It's not that we need the money. The senior drink was the nice effort of the chain to in a very small way to honor seniors and encourage their business.

Maybe the elimination of the discount will help save seniors' health. I can't imagine a healthy drink besides water or wine in any restaurant including Chick-Fil-A.

I actually wouldn't blame them if they did stop giving out the discount. So many people are getting older and the Boomers are in the age range now. I can imagine that having so many folks eligible for the discount can affect their bottom line.

Most restaurants that give discounts for something make up for their possible "loss" by adding cost to something else. And, drinks like iced tea cost nearly nothing to make, it's all water and a few cheap teabags. They will do more damage to their business PR-wise than anything else by discontinuing.
