No more free bread :(

  1. When I stopped at Great Harvest this morning on the way in to work, I noticed that the "have a free slice of bread on us" thing was gone, replaced by a sign explaining that due to some kind of recently-resolved insurance liability thing, they will no longer be able to provide free slices of bread and other goodies (though they will still give out bread sticks for kids). The nice guy behind the counter told me they were sad about it, too, but that they'd still give you a sample of a loaf your were thinking about purchasing.

    I rarely took them up on the freebie slices, but it's sad to see such a thing go away. I always thought it was a really nice thing they were doing.

    Ha, the liability of giving stuff to people.
    Boy, is this really the right direction to go folks?
    Everybody has a bitch, everybody has a lawsuit, everybody looses.

    After seeing the deluge of homeless people there in the mornings, I'm guessing that the termination of the free slice is an effort to reduce the homeless conclave that take up the limited seating. The several times I've been there in the morning, the employees are always very kind, friendly and know the homeless people by name, but I'm sure they lost business.

    Whatever the reason, I'll still visit Great Harvest.
