My sons are getting up early this morning to go to the Denny's "free Grand Slam breakfast" promotion today with their high school "crew" -- I predict chaos. Luckily, they've got a back-up plan to offer rain checks to people who can't get served.
What's your favorite story of free giveaways that ended up causing more hate and discontent than anything else?
Update 0559 04 Feb: It looks like they handled the rush without too many problems. My family had a really good time when they went.
