This is one of those head-scratchers by management. No doubt the manager/owner decided that it was losing money with the 2 for 1 whopper deal. So how do we remedy that - simply don't reorder to replace the ones sold, so you can say we are out of whoppers (or just lie). Save a few bucks in losses (that you should be able to make up in onion ring, soda, and french fry sales, which are huge markup items) and take a PR hit that will cost you big $. Some people should not be in business - the marketplace may decide this one is a loser.
