Popeyes Chicken - Senior Citizen special
Drink - Complaint

OAK PARK, ILLINOIS -- I frequently visit the Popeyes Chicken on Madison st. in Oak Park Il. After placing my order I informed the person at the drive up window that I am a senior citizen and I would like my free drink. She told me that this particular franchise does not honor this benefit. I asked her if she was sure so she asked the manager to come to the window. The manager agreed with her so I did not pursue the issue. My question to you is, does this offer only apply to certain franchises ?

I'm sure you've heard the catch-phrase "at participating locations only". I've been to some franchise locations that do not accept coupons either. Some establishments give their franchise owners leeway with these types of things.

Of course it does.

Different franchises have different policies. Franchise owners are free to set their own polices. For example the Popeyes ran a nationwide special on X amount of chicken for X amount of dollars, the individual franchise owners can chose not to participate if they don't want to, and charge whatever price they want. As you found out not all Popeyes franchises give out free drinks to seniors, it's simply a business decision that the franchise owner made.

Some Popeye's offer a 10% off discount for seniors, some offer a free drink, and others offer nothing. It is up to the individual location.
