Short stack alert!: Expect some lines at IHOP today

From the EV Grieve inbox...

Batter up, breakfast lovers! IHOP®, one of America’s most popular family-friendly restaurants, known for “everything you love about breakfast,” will once again invite guests to enjoy free pancakes during National Pancake Day on February 5, 2013, while celebrating Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals’ 30th Anniversary. On this day, 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.

During National Pancake Day, the company’s largest philanthropic event of the year, more than 1,500 IHOP restaurants across the country will invite guests to enjoy a complimentary stack of IHOP’s signature delicious buttermilk pancakes ... Guests will be encouraged to make a voluntary contribution to the local Children’s Miracle Network Hospital or other local charities. One hundred percent of the donations will help local charities provide vital equipment, life-saving procedures and critical care for sick and injured children.

The East 14th Street location has the offer going from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Flashback to last year....



H/t to Crazy Eddie for the heads up on this...

    I try to be polite usually but what a bunch of suckers. Waiting in a long line for a couple bucks worth of free pancakes, is that a good deal? Maybe if you got nothing going on and your time isn't worth much. Funny how the word FREE! gets people to line up in the freezing cold. Looks like a fuckin Depression-era bread line. Maybe the economy really does suck right now. BUT BUT BUT the charities!! Last I checked most charities are more than happy to take donations any old time of the year. Suckers.

    I can't believe they have the nerve to email you their promotional BS.

    Free restaurant giveaways can really screw staffers. Hopefully the crowds chowing down on free pancakes realize they still have to tip their servers.

    The lines are no shorter when churches or the Krishnas give out food.
