    those poor servers and cooks.

    i hope they have enough staff scheduled
    to handle the inevitablely huge crowds.

    a very generous offer indeed.
    Nice shirt.

    the servers and cooks should have a banner day....

    you would think most people after receiving their free breakfast would at least leave $5-$10 on the table when they leave.....

    you would think....

    but i also know how people act when they can get something for free......

    meaning most people will get their free meal and leave $0.50...........

    I suspect that many will think that the tip is included in the price of the breakfast. :twisted:

    here is a good story...

    its a chicago thing.....when we get a significant amount of snow.....you end up shoveling your parking spot out....and then throw some junk on your shoveled spot to save your spot.....its been like that for 100 years...

    anyway.....i put 4 storage bins down to mark my spot..( i was the only person on my entire city street to actually take the time and shovel)

    not only would my asshole neighbors move the bins and steal my spot.....

    after 1 month they got real fucking smart.....and just stole the storage bins.....

    i hate human beings.....hehehehehehehehe

    In Philly, people get shot over parking spaces when it snows. I think the situation just brings out the worst in people.

    By no means a strictly Chicago thing, Its the "law of the jungle" in the neighborhoods of Boston as well. Yet the esteemed Mayor Mumbles Menino has decreed it not kosher, and the supposed rule is that you can only "claim" your spot for 48 hours after a storm. Of course nobody pays attention. However 2 winters ago he decided to make a point and decreed after a certain date the city would collect all the spot savers, generally trash barrels, cones, plastic or fold up chairs. But the residents largely outsmarted Mumbles again by replacing any somewhat valuable space holders with useless garbage that they wanted to be rid of anyway and the city came and hauled peoples' old junk away for them.

    our mayor flat out said....

    if you fuck with someones shoveled spot.....you deserve what happens to you or your car....

    in other words...if someone flattens your tires....puts sugar in your gas tank....or puts super glue on your keylock(my personal favorite)......you fucking deserve it.....

    my problem is....not one fucking person on my ENTIRE street shoveled out a spot.....not one...

    because they are a bunch of lazy ignorant fucking pieces of shit......

    People lose their minds when something is free...they'll sit in a drive thru for hours in order to get a free taco...they'll stand in a mile long line to score a free pizza.

    Remember this, a few months back?

    LeBron said he was still a little upset about being booed the other night when he dribbled the shot clock out in the last few seconds when the Cavs had 99 points against the Bucks. 100 would've meant free Chalupas, which really seems to fire up the crowd no matter what else is going on. Truth is Mike Brown told LeBron to dribble it out.

    LeBron said "I can't believe people who buy season tickets get worked up over a god damn $1 (blank) taco."

    Believe it, King!

  • i havew no idea where a denny's restaurant is, at all...i don't think we have any. i have eaten at a few while on the road tho. i think doing so on a tuesday, or any weekday, is wise....most people have to work, and can't afford to sit around all day and wait for a table. i would think too, they have set breakfast hours? so that should help. however, you bet...i soooo feel for the staff! what a horror of a morning!
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow


  • soulsingingsoulsinging Posts: 13,202
    Free isn't good enough... you'd have to PAY me to eat Denny's without a massive intake of alcohol beforehand.

    We have our own waitress at Denny's. We don't wait for tables. Ever.

    Yea, we don't go that much, once every couple of weeks. But we're celebrities at our local Denny's.

    And you can get breakfast all day, every day at Denny's. No set hours.
  • I love Denny's and ate there at least once a week in high school (til I moved to LA, where everyone prefers IHOP for some reason). 24 hour breakfast is ultimate win IMO.

    Sadly, I don't have a car at the moment to take advantage of this awesomeness. I'm thinking about walking a couple of miles to the nearest Denny's. At least it'll help me burn off the heavy food...
    I'll wait for an angel, but won't hold my breath

    I avoid anything fast..... same thing

    I'd still decline to give a 15% tip from a free breakfast, if it wasn't abso-fucking-lutely cooked till its the best brekky I have ever had, and served up by some girl who offered a blowjob with the meal.

    It's hard to set out what is 15% of nothing, but I'll still figure it out and decline to give it.

    speedy,

    You're from Chicago, right? If so, where is this little grill you're talking about. It sounds great.....

    There is this mom and pop dive here in McKinney that has been in business for like 60 years or something. Best breakfast ever. We go there on Sundays a lot.

    Great food for half what IHOP charges.
