Six people quit between February and April at my store in Fresno, and every single exit chat came back to the same thing: it wasn't the pay, it was losing that one small perk after a 9 hour closing shift.
Six people quitting over half off food seems like a stretch when most fast food places don't give free meals at all. The 9 hour closing shifts and low pay are probably the real reasons and the meal thing just became the easy thing to point at in exit chats.
