Free Mochas! (Unless they aren't ...)

McDonald's Free Mocha Monday promotion is just one example of the "At Participating Restaurants" scambit. It goes something like this:

YOU: Free mocha? That's for me!

(You drive to McDonalds.)

YOU: One free mocha, please.

McEMPLOYEE: I'm sorry -- we're not participating in that promotion.

YOU: Dammit. Gimme a McGriddle.

C'mon, restaurant chains -- is it that hard to get everybody on board?
