denny’s run
so as i am sure a lot of you already knew, today denny’s was giving away free grand slams. this is probably not what they want me to say, but denny’s food is absolutely terrible. but the combination of free food and having a fun story tell got my out of bed this morning at 5:20 am to head off to our local denny’s with mariam and little bro.
we got there around 5:45, and the line was already starting to form outside the door.
the line steadily grew behind us and by the time we were done at 6:50, it wrapped around half of the restaurant. i am quite certain this is the only time in history that people have lined up to eat at denny’s.
mariam braved the cold well and even punched out a girl trying to cut in line.
yeah, we were basically desperate for food. we got inside and seated around 6:10. the staff looked surprisingly sane, thought i suppose we were only 10 minutes into what must have been a hellish day. we got drinks, ordered our grand slams, then waited. we actually got ours before some other people who ahead of us in line, probably because we all order scrambled eggs. i think they make those up in a big vat somewhere in georgia and ship them out as is.
once the food came out, there was no stopping mariam. as we left, people in lined cheered. i like to think it was just because it was us and not because they wanted people inside to hurry out so they could get out of the cold.
conclusion: the food was still terrible, but seriously, when was the last time anyone had a conversation about denny’s? i heard about 10 different ones yesterday and today. some marketing dude better be bringing home a nice bonus this year.
