Well said. Allstate also did this promotion in Phoeniz AZ. People were out there in their cars in 100 degree heat, running their air conditioning for hours. Traffic backed up for miles.What a pain in the $#&^&*^. I guess the thought of getting somthing for free overrides the ability to do simple math.
For them if they can get good publicity then they are happy. They could care less about the poor widows in the 100+ heat or the handicapped people getting yelled at in the line waiting for gas.
Heck. If you have ever worked in a office when someone brought in candy. You\’ll get about knocked over for a 50 cent peanut butter cup. People love free crap.
Let\’s see – midnight to 6am, minimum 6 hours, so that\’s about $5/hour. plus the hassle, minus the gas to get there and burned while moving along in line (for those not first in line). IDIOTS ! You apprently have the time, so get a minimum wage job for 6 extra hours a week and you\’ll have that $30. for gas. Typical of too many in our society, expecting something for nothing. I\’m not impressed with Allstate\’s promotion, especially the manner in which they did it — all the gas that must have been burned waiting in line, when we should be conserving fuel, and doing what we can to reduce emissions.
Why not hand out gift cards or better yet,
give a gas card to randomly selected policyholders with clean driving records ?
Obviously, it was not the safe drivers that were in line for the free gas ! They should have had to show a recent copy of a clear MVR to get the gas !
p.s. I HATE THAT ANTI-SPAM YOU USE – IT WOULD HELP IF IT WERE HALF LEGIBLE !!!!
If I miss one letter, then I have to re-enter my name etc.

Nothing new there.
