I like free stuff too, but...
I like free stuff too, but never understand people who earn the equivalent of $25/hr, $50/hr, and more spending 20-30 min in line for a $9 lunch (or a $3 slice of pizza, or $4 ice-cream).
Granted, it's a beautiful day outside, so there's that.
There's a name for this
There's a name for this phenomenon, it's called "penny-wise, pound-foolish"
Humans are absolutely irrational
Why the hell would you burn an hour or more waiting in line for... a free salad? Something that probably costs $10 or less on any other given day?
I never understand this phenomenon, whether it's free ice cream from Ben & Jerry's or free Slurpees from 7-11 or whatever.
It's a completely irrational decision, and I just don't understand it.
Co-sign
Totally mystifying.

Slurpees
I've never had to wait in line for more than a minute on Free Slurpee Day.
They are
Likely salaried workers whose comings and goings aren't tracked too closely because they are on call all the darn time.
Or a good portion of the office went together as a field trip.
It's not that ridiculous when you think of it as an excuse to have a long break.
The Simpsons were wrong
....you DO win friends with salad.
If the price is right.
Cheapskates.
Who does this?
How much does a salad cost anyway? Why would any adult wait on a line that long if they didn't have to?
Insanity.
I blame Trump.
The line
At the one on school st is that long even when they don't give out free salads.
Hope all those people stocked up on toilet paper

Adam, this might be worth an official update to the post.
Were they giving that away free too?
