The workers at Wingstop said they had no idea about this promotion until T-Mobile dropped it. Waited 1hr for an online order today.
You had to basically order it before the dinner rush today to guarantee your order was in. I went to a location 6 miles from home because after 4:30 pm EST, order wasn’t ready until 6:15 pm. 3 out of my 4 local wing stops were out of stock for tenders.
Some Reddit users speculated that T-Mobile failed to properly communicate the magnitude of the promotion to Wingstop. Additionally, they argued that Wingstop’s management bears responsibility for not adequately informing their stores and employees, leaving frontline workers unprepared for the sudden influx of hungry customers.
Customers loved the $0.01 Wingstop combo so much that stores sold out – something that hasn’t happened for a few years! We love that our customers love T-Mobile Tuesdays perks, including these delicious chicken tenders. We’re committed to providing our customers the best possible experience and we apologize for the inconvenience.

These types of promotions highlight a broader trend among mobile carriers competing fiercely to differentiate themselves with customer perks. However, striking the balance between enticing deals and operational logistics remains a challenge. That said, you’d think by now T-Mobile would know better than to mess with people’s access to $0.01 chicken tenders, especially in this economy.
