Great point. O'Charely's clearly knows their customers. As for me, I use the n+1 technique to acquire more rolls. I pick up the basket and offer the last roll to the guy next to me who I know wants it. This puts him in a social dilemma of either refusing a kind offer from a friend or eating the last roll.

O'Charley's still benefits. Now the restaurant has us begging for more of their scrumptious rolls, but we get the next batch just before the meal comes. This virtually guarantees that it will be the last basket. If they price each meal with consideration of two rolls per guest, they come out ahead with your scenario..

It's on 45th and 9th. If you decide to stop there, let me know and maybe I'll join you for a beer and a burger.

99designs might be a good option next time around, but I already gave my designer a 50% deposit on the blog logos. Plus, he did a nice job with the logo on my newly launched site for short sellers, which I think I've mentioned here once before, ShortScreen.com. I also like the work he did for the logo on my next site, which hasn't launched yet. Both took some time, and involved extensive feedback from me, but I liked the end results.

BTW, I opened my first short position using the screener on ShortScreen a couple of months ago (I like to eat my own cooking). Today I covered it, for a 27% gain. Not bad during a period when the broader market was approaching new highs.

Thanks. I suppose I can register for disqus. I've been planning to add it to my new blog, but the launch of that has been delayed by my logo designer, who moves like molasses in January.

BTW, I actually saw Pappy's on a drink menu in NYC last night, at a place called Five Napkin Burger. For some reason, their desert menu has a whole page of bourbons on the back.

Sorry I just missed them….will find and approve. Guess I need to turn disqus loose and you need to register with disqus (I have to approve all non-registered comments)

Sorry

Your house, your rules, Andy, but I have to say that your moderating seems a little excessive if you wouldn't let my last comment through (or my comment in an earlier thread about Corzine). Maybe a little Pappy's might loosen you up a bit?

What a brilliant observation! That happens when I'm out with friends. When I'm with family, we split the last roll. So they bring out more eventually.
