\t\t\t\t\"Whataburger
\n\t\t\t\t\t\tWhataburger loves Texas teachers. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Lauren Dewes Daniels<\/p>\n

May is rough for teachers. The kids are done. So are they. Patience wore thin months ago. The summer countdown is on. <\/p>\n

National Teacher Appreciation Week is May 4 \u2013 8. National Nurses Appreciation Week is held annually from May 6 -12. <\/p>\n

And we love that companies recognize both professions\u2019 work with freebies, but all of y\u2019all using it as a data-capture tool and make teachers and nurses work for it (download an app and enter in a drawing) \u2026 tsk tsk. You probably sat on the fence during kickball for good reason. <\/p>\n

Anyhoo. <\/p>\n

Below is a list of participating businesses in Dallas to help make the week go by faster. As more roll in during the week, we\u2019ll update. <\/p>\n

If you find a deal not listed, email it to Lauren.Daniels@DallasObserver.com. Or tag me on Insta @laurendrewesdaniels<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Whataburger
If you love Whataburger and hip-hop, go listen to this album<\/a> by Texas artist Ben Buck that is fully dedicated to Whataburger. It\u2019s amazing. Anyway, teachers, get a free breakfast on May 7 from 5 to 9 a.m.<\/a> All you need is a valid school ID. I like this: make it free and easy. <\/p>\n

Insomnia Cookies
Insomnia hasn\u2019t published what they\u2019re offering up, but go to their Instagram, where they teased that teachers and nurses<\/a> should \u201cstay tuned may 5th \u2013 may 12th.\u201d<\/p>\n

Buffalo Wild Wings
Real simple: Teachers and nurses show your ID and get 20% off<\/a> your order May 4 \u2013 10. All school staff get the discount. The offer excludes alcohol. Sorry, y\u2019all.<\/p>\n

Chick-fil-A
Chick-fil-A restaurants often run deals during Texas Appreciation Week, but the offer varies by franchise. So check the app. I bet there will be something for teachers on there. <\/p>\n

HTeaO
CW33 reports<\/a> that teachers and nurses can get half off cups of tea from May 4 \u2013 8. <\/p>\n

RaceTrac
From May 4 \u2013 8, teachers can get one free <\/a>13.7-ounce Dunkin\u2019 Iced Coffee and a free RaceTrac classic breakfast sandwich by verifying their teacher ID.me <\/a>in the RaceTrac app or online at RaceTrac.com. Once verified, teachers will receive an in-app coupon. <\/p>\n

McDonald\u2019s
Teachers and Administrators can get a free Egg McMuffin meal<\/a> with a valid ID at North Texas restaurants May 4-8. (Administrators? Hot take: they should be going to pick up breakfast for teachers this week.)<\/p>\n

Chipotle
Chipotle is serving up $1 million in free Chipotle to teachers and nurses<\/a> who enter into a drawing. So not everyone wins, but a 100,000 teachers and nurses (200,000 total) will receive a Burrito E-Card. If I were in charge of burritos, every teacher and nurse would just get a free burrito.<\/p>\n

Raising Cane\u2019s
Teachers only. We should just be grateful, but Raising Cane\u2019s is a $5 billion brand<\/a>, and teachers can get a free 22-ounce (regular size) drink from May 1 \u2013 31. The offer<\/a> excludes lemonade (I know, right. FFS.). The website says you have to present the free drink card, but there are zero details on where to get it. Who doesn\u2019t get a box combo, which already comes with a drink, anyway? Imagine rolling through and NOT getting food. Gosh. Five BILLION. With a B. <\/p>\n
