But just to help others on here:
In my area, 3 piece tenders a la carte sell for $7.79 total (2 pcs of chicken a la care sell for $6.99 total) down to $1 each with this deal; sides (even if they give you the regular), sell for $3.29 each down to a $1 each, and a biscuit sells for $1.29 each, down to $1. So it is actually a good deal, more than 50% off.

Or another way to think of it. If you spend $10 worth, you are discounted on the items you bought including the free item. If you bought an item for $7.50 and another for $2.50 and the free item usually sells for $5; you are getting all items each for $3.33.
Now an actual good deal:
Ex. Suppose Sonic sells a burger for $5.69 and they offer it free, BUT you need to satisfy a minimum $5 price threshold. The free item in this case has more value than the $5 min. You can choose to buy items up to or at $5.69. Basically, it gives you the item for free or at least BOGO or better. If I chose to spend $5. I get the free item ($5.69 in value) and I get two items for $3.50 and $1.50. In this case, I get all items for $5/3 = $1.66
In this case, if you spend $10 and the free item is like $5 in value, you basically spent $10 on overpriced items (none of the items are worth totaling that $10 price tag) and you are getting a free item, where basically the restaurant made its money back.
Get it?
These restaurants KNOW that you want the free item (that is the bait). If they get you to spend more just to get it, they have reeled you in.
FYI: This $6 deal is better than a free item with $10 purchase just because of the discount on each item.

the fastest i've gotten food was during non peak hours and it still took 15 mins. the slowest was 50 mins and I preordered on the app.....

That is minimum and people would still have an issue with me writing it. Part time/full time is negotiable and healthcare to an extent is negotiable and any kind of 401k/pension is negotiable (this just adds on extra expenses for the franchise).
Franchises pay high corporate tax and commission on products sold and then whatever they are left with, they have to make do. There was one Undercover Boss episode where the manager of a Fatburger location blatantly stated that he could not afford to pay his staff more or hire anyone else because he was underwater by like $50k. Of course, the CEO at the time was a crook and had his own issues. He ended up wiping away that debt.
In actuality, if the franchise had it their way, there would be no discounts. Discounts are great for bringing people in, but not necessary when the franchise should be able to keep a good buffer to stay afloat and even make profit (which every franchise deserves to have). I almost feel like corporate/franchise relationships are bait and switch.
