BARTER - Free Food At a Baltimore Charity Event

[Millard Grubb]

Thanks for the advice on using your tipping strategy while at a restaurant.

Almost all of the restaurants around Branson where I live are fast-food or other simple fare. The challenge is finding a decent sit-down restaurant that has food worth eating!

One of the places is College of the Ozarks, however, it has a special situation since it is staffed by students going to school working their way through college by working different jobs throughout their four years. This working PAYS for their college !

Since most of the businesses here in town are either tourist-centered or owned by big corporations... any barter I do is mostly based on people I meet and take the time to start a conversation. I would imagine that taking the time to drive to Springfield and go to the restaurants there using Glenn's approach might have more impact than here in Branson. Branson, after all, has millions come through every year.

With that just said, I realize at this very moment, there might be an opportunity here. With all the people from out of town, what percentage of them are folks with money? Probably ALL of them.

This calls for further thought.
