just landed at Love Field, it’s 100 degrees and there is a line of people camping at chicfile for the free sandwich for a year give away. Amazing
What people will do for free stuff

At FSU we went to 'free appetizer' with bar drink purchase at Bennigan's.... one time.
Saw sides to humanity I didn't know existed.
There needs to be a really catchy proverb for this phenomenon like the one about, “a fool and his money are soon parted.”
That doesn’t apply here, but there’s gotta be one like it that does.
They were giving away tee shirts at last year's Jam with Ham. Must have been 1,000 students lined up, they got the shirts and headed straight out the door. Same thing with free student pizza day at the tennis facility, kids swarmed the food then headed out before the first game.
Penny-wise, pound-foolish.
"Perhaps Penny-wise, 30 pounds-foolish" considering these people are risking a heat stroke to eat salty, fried fast food.
People will literally kill each other for free stuff.
What's amazing/horrible to me is that 7-11 had to implement a size gauge for "bring your own cup" slurpee day to keep people from bringing in barrels to fill up with slurpees. I like a good slurpee, but can't imagine ever needing more than maybe a medium size. If for no other reason, it's going to melt before you finish it, and it doesn't taste as good in liquid form.

I remember when they opened the New Chick Fil A on Tennessee Street about 5 Years ago they were interviewing all the Potatoes that had started lining up 4-5 Days in advance for the same promotion and most of the people in line were Out Of Towners from far away who did it for a LIVING and many knew each other from previous Free For a Year Lines at other store openings..SMH...I love some CFA but how much does one need?
Go to any mall during one of the tax free weekends. Hoards lining up for what is essentially a 6-10% discount.
