In Defense of Field Trips

I arrived early at the Grove Cafe this morning and said Hello to a nearby table of six. Turns out they're a "men's group" that meets weekly at the Grove Cafe. Naturally I mentioned what a nice time we regularly have at Sam's, and they seemed interested in arranging a reciprocal field trip to Sam's themselves.

Our "away games" thus provide free promotion for the "home team". We recruit for, not detract from, Dima's customer base.

So please don’t be like Sawyer on Lost, who decided to stay behind with Locke just because the rescuers weren’t from Penny's boat (oops, sorry to spoil the plot if you haven't yet seen that episode). Be instead like Patrick the Starfish on Spongebob Squarepants, who occasionally eats at Plankton's Chum Bucket in order to spread the word all over Bikini Bottom about Mr. Crab's delicious crabby pattys at the Crusty Crab.
