Waking up early for free food…
Posted by Dustin Taylor on February 9, 2010
Does anybody else wonder why some people would wake up early to get free food at Denny’s today? If you haven’t heard, Denny’s is giving away a free Grand Slam breakfast this morning from 6am to 2pm. Charissa (my wife) and I drove by one of the shops this morning hoping that there wouldn’t be a line. Turns out there was over an hour wait to just get into the restaurant. People were wrapped around the building, waiting OUTSIDE in 24 F degree weather, just to save $5. Now you can argue that the experience was what they were after or that it was just a fun thing to be a part of, but is it really worth it? Is it worth it to stand out in the cold waiting for a seat to save $5? Your time is really only worth $5/hr?
Did anyone else see this phenomenon this morning? Did you participate? If so, why?
