Comments on: 2 for 1 Meal Deal And The Homeless Invasion http://deanhunt.com/2-for-1-meal-deal-and-the-homeless-invasion/ The highly acclaimed and controversial Internet Entrepreur Dean Hunt shares his off-beat views on success, marketing, personal development and some wacky humour. Why? Because everyone is entitled to his opinion Wed, 07 Jan 2009 07:40:00 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Scot http://deanhunt.com/2-for-1-meal-deal-and-the-homeless-invasion/#comment-124990 Scot Sun, 07 Sep 2008 22:36:09 +0000 http://deanhunt.com/?p=500#comment-124990 The real problem here is staffing employees that don't have power to make smart business decisions... It's not their fault they just do not have the authority. Although I think you're a bit off-beat with the "hidden charges" ending. There weren't any hidden charges, they offered a free meal and delivered... never once did they mention you could get a start instead.

The sweet, SWEET smell of revenge, and yeah, I totally agree with you on the common sense front. I'm gonna sure as hell make sure that the "guidelines" for any business plan I put up are based solely on... what makes sense, funnily enough. If the pub saves money, then it's kinda fck-tarded to NOT offer you the bloody starter. Sheesh-kebab. There’s one of these Two-For-One pubs at Parrs Wood.

My first thought was that the restaurant probably only accepts the main entry as a free meal because they have leftover ingredients that they don't want to waste. And the starters did not involve those ingredients? I'm only guessing... but I suppose it wouldn't hurt letting your customers choose a starter. However I suppose if you really do initiate your revenge you'll be getting a LOT of buzz... Michael Hey Dean,
