Fast food places are surprisingly generous when you’re marking another year. Burger King gives you a free Whopper if you’re in their Crown Perks program. Wendy’s offers a free Frosty with any purchase, which is basically a milkshake with a side of nostalgia.
I once drove through a drive-thru on my birthday, got a free burger, and felt like I had hacked the system. The cashier didn’t even ask for a song or a speech—just handed me a bag of joy and said “Happy birthday, hon.” That’s customer service.
