Not sure how far this chain goes, but there is a chain of convenience stores in these parts called Wilson Farms. They only have a couple hundred stores, so not sure who has heard of them
Anyway, starting a few days ago, they started a radio "ad campaign", if you can call it that, bringing u[ the national tragedy of 9/11. The announcer then goes on to say "In honor of the men and women who lost their lives on that day, come into Wilson fars on 9⁄11 between 7 and 10AM and we will give you a cup of coffee for free. Oh and while you are here, you can voluntarily contribute to our rememberance fund...etc ett..and we will match your donations up to $5000"
OK, it is cool that they are taking up a collection..Wilson Farms does that a lot for different things. But the whole thing, with the somber music in the background, and the offer of free coffee just seems a bit over the top to me.
At the time of the attack, I was aquainted with someone wo lost 4 cousins on one of the planes. I do NOT need a free cup of coffee to remember their memories (even though I did not know them personally).
