Yup, escape passes are done. 1-out pass will remain in the system to sell if a customer insists on having it, but 2-out is completely done. I'd have to imagine they were not making much money on this offer on an average. My store went from an avg. of $13,000-$14,00 a week to barely breaking $10,000 since they started this pass. I'm not blaming that gap solely on passes, but it sure wasn't helping.

They said they were stopping it in September, so that's what we've been telling our customers. Can they still sign up for it even though it's not a priority or are there no new escape passes at all?

maybe we aren't supposed to promote it anymore. if people ask for the escape pass then it would be stupid to say 'we can't sell it to you.'
