Hi Nancy,

 NB> True, sometimes you just can't win for losing... ;)

We walked out of there vowing never to return to the chain, and haven't.
Wrote to hq and they offered a free meal next time we went to that one
but we didn't take them up on it. It's along I-95 in VA so we've been
thru the area a good number of times since.

You should have the e-mail before you read this note. (G)

Thanks; it looks like it'll be rough going for some months. I don't envy
my brother who's across the street from the folk's house or the sister
in Dutchess County. They are going to have to deal with things in person
on a daily or weekly basis.

Wegman's coupon? Those would be worth taking advantage of. We've used
fast food coupons from time to time and were nicely surprised by the
PDQ's military discount a few weeks ago.

I know the feeling; the TGIF above offered me a free meal at the time we
were there but nothing (except getting out of there) appealed to me. An
hour or so down the road, we made a rest stop at a McDs--a 6 piece
McNuggests with no sauce and an M&M parfait hit the spot.
