My UnSmart Lunch

I have had fun times documocking some GetQuik bloopers.  The truth is that I am no stranger to my own "duh" moments. I had an after lunch meeting in Foster City, so I figured I'd do some exploring to see what the restaurant options FC has to offer.  I was running low on time, so I had to make a pretty quick decision.  I figured that I'd look for something simple like Subway or the Yellow Arches.  Next to McD's, I see an IHOP, and then I remember what Andrew reminded me..."free breakfast". 

Looking at the parking lot, I decide that it looks ok.  I can grab my free breaklunch and make my meeting.  So as I walk in, I am greeted by the server dude. 

Me - "Are you all still offering the free breakfast thing today?"
Him - ??????? "We do have the all you can eat pancakes deal if that is what you mean?"

Me - "What?  Your location isn't in on the huge SuperBowl free meal thing?"
Him - "You mean the Grand Slam?"

Me - "Yes!"
Him - "You are at IHOP not Denny's."

Me - "Uhhhh, Oh yeah, you are right.  OK, nevermind let me see a menu."

Conclussion:  $8.99 IHOP cheeseburger w/ fries.  It was just OK.  More like a bunt single.  Definitely not a grand slam.  I got served for my A.D.D. moment.
