Is it your birthday? You can score free treats and deals at these Fort Worth restaurants
Everyone hates the dreaded awkward birthday song that restaurant employees sing for the whole building to hear.
At least the uncomfortable experience scores you a free ice cream sundae.
This isn’t the only way to get a birthday freebie. If you sign up for certain rewards, you could eat for free all day long.
Most restaurants require you to create a rewards account, which usually doesn’t cost any money but rather spams your email inbox. Children with emails (13 years old or older) are also allowed to sign up for their own accounts and take advantage of birthday bonuses. It’s also important to note that you may need to sign up a few days in advance for companies to give you a birthday reward.
In lieu of September being the month with the most births, according to National Center for Health Statistics and Social Security Administration, here are the deals restaurants offer on birthdays.
