Just put less chicken in the box! And I used up my reward to get a 2$ small popcorn chicken.
Out of the small packaging maybe?
Now you’ve gotten your inventory counts off. There’s also a (marginal) cost difference between the two size cartons. Of course, this needs to be balanced against customer satisfaction- there will be a non-zero number of customers who won’t want the upsell or to buy an alternative item, and so the question is how much business would you lose vs how much money you’d make offset with the extra time and corporate headache of reconciling inventory?
Not that Sonic shouldn’t do this, just throwing out some real-world considerations.
I imagine they’d have some customers who would flip over that even that it’s the same size portion they wanted to order.
“You ordered the small, but we don’t have small containers.”
“Yeah but it’s not full!!”
Hell, when we run out of the 24 pack bottled water, we throw them a 32 count and call it a day… Some people/companies are so rigid, they lose sight of customer first. Not saying they should bend over backwards, but consider the lost sales by not even attempting to make it right.
If so, it’s still probably deliberate, because corporate knows full well a bigger box would work too. Eshittification is coming for our nuggies.
They want to advertise a $2 chicken box without actually selling chicken for $2.
I’m annoyed at the words being abbreviated despite the buttons being large enough
Popcorn chicken should be distinct in size from chicken nuggets. I will die on this hill.
they ran out of boxes, not nuggets
