I honestly don’t get why you’d wanna be there for 12 hours. I’d black out from boredom drinking before the game and/or go bankrupt.

Seriously. I don't have the physical endurance to handle keeping a table going for that long on a worknight.

I already switched shifts with a coworker who will probably be too hung over to work tomorrow morning (I don’t drink so idc)

worked well and I'll have a quiet morning to catch up on paperwork tomorrow

A wise decision. I, on the other hand, pushed my regular 1-on-1 with my manager to Monday at 9:30. He is a Bills fan and will have no sympathy

Can't drink all day if you don't start when you wake up!

This is how I justify slamming a case per day while camping BUT I didn't drink at breakfast, so it's not alcoholism

I’d argue the same for tailgating at the Linc. I’m a big Eagles fan but no shot I’m drinking for 5/6 hours before the game, 1/2 maybe but anymore than that is just plain boring.

Tailgating for 6 hours is a marathon not a sprint. Gotta stick with the Miller Lites or something similar. If you start hitting the hard stuff it goes downhill real quick.

At least there you can throw a ball around/ make your own food / bring your own beer. But I’ve done like 2 all day tailgated in my life ha

They have capacity limits and people are going to stay the whole game. People are going to be out of luck if they don’t get to a place real early.

Get in early or watch from outside.

But there are plenty of bars that offer reserved seating for groups. Like I’m sure most of the people in this line could’ve had a much easier time if they had any type of foresight.

The people who make reservations for groups and the people who stand in line in the morning to get into a place are a Venn diagram with no cleavage.

Very fair. Just seems surprising to have people that think enough ahead to be out there first thing in the morning to wait in line but not reserve a spot somewhere.

Then again I’m sure this is mostly college kids and my brain definitely didn’t think these things out too clearly back then either.

It’s more norm than exception to have even a full group of like 20 full grown professional adults at prime time not bother to call ahead for even a random night out and just show up.

“Oh it’s not an event it’s just Jeff’s birthday! Anyway there are 20 of us and we’re gonna complain all night about how you’re having trouble accommodating this surprise (to you not Jeff, we’ve all known for weeks)!”

My high school graduation let out at like 10pm? It was a wednesday.

That IHOP went from dead to "Fire marshall's maximum stated capacity" in fifteen minutes.

At least two people quit instantly. The shift manager was cooking and coming out every five minutes to apologize.

We would have left but we were with people. :\
