Free Breakfast Not Just a Hit, but a Grand Slam
When did Denny’s start selling the iPhone? Or has the DMV relocated?
The last time I saw a line that long, Apple had just introduced the iPhone, or Best Buy was having their day after Christmas sale.
Lines began forming early this morning and stretched around the building at the Pasadena Denny’s, located on Colorado Blvd and Vinedo Avenue. Nothing says breakfast like eggs and pancakes and nothing says value like complimentary, no charge, gratis, your meal is on us.
In these days of “who can produce the bigger line”, look for Apple to launch the next salvo. Word is that the next iPhone update will include an app that brews coffee.

Thought about, then figured my hourly rate times the number of hours that would be spent standing in line. Decided to pass on a free breakfast valued at $2.99!

If I didn’t know better I’d say I was looking at a bread-line.

Ann, I did the same math, then drove through McDonalds for a sausage biscuit

Great analogy, have you ever thought about blogging?

I saw that line driving to work, and then saw another one in Los Angeles by my office.
I decided to walk along the line and talk to some of the people in line. I’d say maybe 1/8 of the people were what I would call “bargain hunters” – they know it’s not really worth it to stand in line for a $3 meal, but they can’t pass it up. The rest were clearly poor and homeless folks and families that I see around the area.
Basically, Denny’s became a soup kitchen for a day.
