Gratis Sandwiches for Goodwill

On April 8, Denny's Will Give Out Freebie Breakfasts Once More

Denny’s restaurant has extended an offer to its regulars to bring in a friend who could use a free meal. The casual dining chain offered free sandwiches earlier this year, and the promotion's success was such that they're running it again on April 8.

Denny’s calls their free sandwich promotion a “random act of kindness,” and they hope it will spread across the country. The promotion is set for April 8 between 6 AM and 2 PM. I wonder if the promotion includes free meals for cheap friends?
