This reminds me of the frenzies about twenty years ago when Krispy Kreme was a big fad. When a new store opened, people would camp overnight to get a donut.

There are still Krispy Kreme campouts. Friday the 13th, they have a special. I think it is two dozen for $13. I could be wrong. But we have gone more than once when there were long lines of cars in the drivethru.

Where we used to live, the Krispy Kreme gave one free donut for each A on a report card. Our children couldn’t wait to get their report cards. And for those students who did not have an A, the store would give them one free anyway. They must not lose too much money on this because they are still doing it.

Or like when crApple comes out with a new piece of proprietary, overpriced iCrap which is nothing more than the LAST iCrap but with a new hue of gold foil. And the iSheeple camp out the night before to pay through the nose for something that will still be available to purchase a week later. BAAAAAAA

They still do campouts the night before any new Chick-fil-A opens up. The First 100 people get a card good for 1 year (1 a week for 52 weeks) of free chicken sandwich meals.

I remember when my store opened. It snowed the day before, and rained like mad for most of the night. No one went home. When they got their cards at 6 a.m. Opening Day, the folks in line looked like drowned rats.
