" Chick-fil-a has that 1st 100 promotion where the 1st 100 people in line get free Chick-fil-a for a year (in the form of 52 coupons good for a combo meal (valued at $4.99 each) which never expire). There's a new restaurant opening on Thursday, Jan 10th at 6am, which means that people are SUPPOSED to only begin arriving and lining up (and then signing up when the official from Chick-fil-a HQ arrives) at 6am on Wednesday, Jan 9th at 6am. They say you may only begin lining up 24 hours in advance, but I did this once in the past, and people were there lining up as early as 6pm and stayed out for 2 nights, as opposed to just 1. The location of the new store (for those interested to mapquest) is 7836 Leonardo Drive, Durham, NC, 27713. It's located close to the Streets at SouthPoint Mall area which means it's also VERY close to NCSU, Duke, and UNC-Chapel Hill and will have a lot of poor college kids showing up (heck, I'd do it too if I had to eat cafeteria food...lol..what's missing a coupla classes for some real grub). I'd encourage people to get there very very early as there as not been a store opening in NC since April of '07 in High Point, NC and there are large packs of people who travel from state to state to these openings and oftentimes by 6am there are already more than 100 people waiting. If you're the first to arrive, be sure to start a list when others show up so that you don't get screwed over when the Corporate people arrive. "

I really want to do this but also don't want to miss class wednesday.

Hmm, sounds like a good deal, but I don't think I'd want to spend a night outside in Durham.

I did this to get a PS3 but also made $1500.00 off of it. It would be kind of embarrassing to tell people you camped out for two days for free fast food.

that's pathetic that people travel state-to-state to get chicken

^^ That's $260 worth of food, which what I budget for food for 3 months. I'd camp out for it.

Wow, 1 lunch a week for the whole year. Yeah, that seems worthwhile.

though if it were 365 coupons, i'd take a day off to wait in line (i have more sick/vac days than i'm going to use anyway)

^^ I'd STILL do it. I hate going to campus in the morning: the smell of chick-fil-a drives me nuts cause I know I only get a PB&J and some crackers for lunch.
