Sonic Drive-In

I have noticed in the past when running special the prices increase at my local Sonic. I first noticed this with the two for 9.99 each advertised item had cheese but there would be an additional 50 cents for cheese on each item added to cost. I didn't get a chance to address it once making notice and misplacing the receipt. However, Tuesday noticed it again with their 1/2 price on their regular burgers. The meal with from an original price menu of $6.29 to $8.17. The discount of 1.90 is subtracted making the meal 6.27. I consider this to be propaganda. It would have been better if they just simply said they don't apply the discount to the meal. However, you see the discount subtracted from the meal's increased price. I personally believe you keep business by being honest and considering your customers. If the discount was actually applied the meal would have went to under 5.00 of the original asking price before tax. I do not appreciate nickel and diming any of us. We all work hard for our money...
