In case any of you weren’t watching the Super Bowl commercials, from 6AM tomorrow (Feb. 3rd) to 2PM, Denny’s is giving out free Grand Slams to anyone throughout their restaurants (The only two stores not participating is the Denny’s at 350 Baker Blvd. in Baker, CA, and the one at 740 Main St. in Las Cruces, NM.). No paperwork, no buying anything first, just a big platter of American Breakfast-y goodness. (They’re also doing this in Canada and Puerto Rico, too.) Here’s a link to prove it.

In this time of worldwide economic slump, most companies wouldn’t dare do something like that. Not even in times of prosperity, because it’s just too expensive. And as the economy gets worse we’re saving what few dollars we have left when companies need them the most. (Hence the bailouts: had we been in good shape, they would’ve been doing great) Aside from “Going Out Of Business” sales, we don’t get very many discounts anymore. American (And the rest of the world’s, too) morale has been really low, especially with the news media staying on their rants that this is the worst economic slump in history. Us as a people are hurting.
But Denny’s has shown it’s giant heart capacity. After all this, “OMG the economy just keeps getting worse and worse, and we’re all gonna be broke”, they’re helping to mend our mood and restore our hope. Everyone is saying, “Wow, that’s going to be over 250 million free meals. How can they afford to do that?” and slowly but surely the public will come out from underneath that big dark cloud and look at the sky and be able to say, “Hey, things aren’t so bad. After all, if a chain of restaurants can afford to give away over 250 million meals normally valued at $ 8.50, then I can certainly afford to do a little spending myself!” And once we get back our confidence (no thanks to the media), we’ll be back in prosperity in no time.
After a year of economic woes and other problems, America is finally going to get a fair deal, courtesy of Denny’s.
How can we thank them for that?
Kikoman: Denny’s is a sit down restaurant, not take-out. Are you thinking McDonalds?
Brown9500v3: That is very true. I love those dang things!
discount watch store canada.
CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIAN:THAT MAKES ME HAPPY BECAUSE IM OBESE
raichasays:I think you just did.
steena:obama told them to give us some relief
hahaha jk
I Do Know The Muffin Man:By taking them up on the generous offer and being grateful. You could write or email them.
Mmm pancakes!
gitrdoneobama:Hahahaha…..were losing out jobs and houses but at least we get a free Grand slam breakfast from Denny’s. God bless America!
Mama Smurf:Sweet! I’m headin’ to Denny’s!
drtravelfoxes:go for a grand slam…and take a friend.
Thanks for reminding me…I had forgotten already
Tristan S:That’s pretty cool!
I won’t be having one because I’m a vegetarian and I hate mornings, but I do think that it’s legitimately cool of them…
FTR, I just got back from shopping, and Albertsons has some GREAT sales going on! Most supermarkets do still have sales and whatnot, or super-crazy deals if you have one of their cards (I just got ten Tony’s cheese pizzas for ten bucks). They want to keep people comin’ in and keep the inventory flying out.
Also, I was looking in the paper, Ford cars are practically 50% off now… I’m not in the market for a new car (who is these days?) but if I was, I could pick up a new Mustang V6 with all the options for $ 16k, or a brand new Econoline E250 for $ 14k. That’s ##$ #@#% crazy!
kikoman:Denny’s has a racist history and sucks !
They are trying to make people forget their past by giving away wrapped heart attacks with fries. In the hard economic times yet to come!
Edit: I am not thinking of Mcdonalds,
Check out Denny’s (sit down) discrimination for denying service to blacks.

Denny’s settlement
Edward B:We do not have a Denny’s nearby, and I am allergic to eggs. I do think it’s a good promotion on their part to get folks in the door. I just wish Shoney’s would do it, we have one right up the street here. Just think of the drinks, coffee and tips they will get during this promotion.
brown9500v3:The Grand Slam Breakfast is like crack. Try it once and you’re hooked for life.
Lucky:Someones going to get fired for that.
Darumu J:You had better change
“How can we thank them for that” into
“How can I thank or some of us thank for them”.
Denny’s are far from good company and someday, you will know the reasons why I was talking here.
