Happy National Pancake Day

So today for dinner we headed over to IHOP (we do this often on Tuesdays because kids eat free). When we got there we noticed the parking lot was very crowded. We walked in and realized that they were giving away free pancakes (because it was National Pancake Day). So people were coming in and ordering pancakes and water, so they paid nothing. Talking to our waiter, apparently many of these peeps did not even leave tips. Now, I am the first to admit that I like a good deal and like I said we go there Tuesdays because kids eat free, but...do people not know that they can make pancakes for almost free at home. Seriously there are some deals that are worth it and some that are not. I would classify this as a NOT. We just stuck to our kids eat free and I had myself some stuffed french toast.

and I was thinking yesterday I wanted some pancakes too... dang. Pretty sucky about the tips though. People should be ashamed of that. Also? if it comes to a choice of pancakes and stuffed french toast, no contest. Bring on the stuffing!

I think we should celebrate National Pancake Day EVERY tuesday. But, not for free, just for cheap. And thursdays should be National Stuffed French Toast Day.

When they advertised that on TV I knew that would happen! That is one of my biggest pet peeves about Utahns. They can be way too cheap. For example: A really long line at Costco for a sample chicken nugget. PLEASE people it is just one bite! I feel so bad for the waiters, I know that they were supposed to donate the $ they would have spent on the pancakes to some charity. Sorry, that's my 2 cents.
