CUSTOMERS have paid increasing consumer costs for their food, so sought-after discounts are significant for customers.
Dairy Queen customers came to a rude awakening when they realized a popular fast food promotion was only available at select stores.

One customer found out his local Dairy Queen didn’t participate in a sub-$1 deal, and took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to complain.
“Pretty discouraging when you run a promotion and it’s hard to find a DQ that actually participates,” the customer surmised.
“Dairy Queen in Virginia Beach just turns people away.”
The company responded, saying that the deal was only for participating stores.
“We apologize that your location is not participating in the 85¢ Small BLIZZARD Treat deal,” the company said.
“Since our restaurants are independently owned and operated, participation may vary by location.”
INSIDE THE DQ DEAL
Customers have a few more days to snag the discounted snack from participating stores.
Dairy Queen is running the $.85 Blizzard deals until September 24.
Customers can only get small-sized Blizzards for the discount.
The deal is exclusive to DQ Rewards members, and the purchase must be made on the brand’s app.
DQ Rewards are free to join for any customer.
Members can only use the discount one time during the promotion’s run from September 11 through the 24.
Blizzards typically set customers back $3.
Dairy Queen said the discounted item celebrates the year the Blizzard launched in the US: 1985.
