[Updated] A quick look at the long short-stack line on East 14th Street


It's National Pancake Day. (Thanks to everyone who sent me a card!) And IHOP is giving away short stacks (of pancakes) to anyone who wants to wait in line today. Per the news release: "Proceeds the restaurant chain hopes to raise $3 million as the first national fundraising campaign to kick off the 2013 fundraising year for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals."

    How long is that wait? Isn't your time worth more than a a few dollars worth of processed carbs and fake syrup?

    Just wondering.

    One further question:

    The pancakes are being given away free, but expected proceeds of $3 million are being given to the charity. Does anyone notice a problem with this new math?

    This is the old Soviet Union MO from the 50s, 60’s etc. When you see a line, get on it.

    hey give you the pancake(s?)
    and maybe even he syrup
    but you pay for your drinks and any extras and other things on the menu

    few people just go in and get the one item that is free or on sale
