Denny's #6915
Tucson, Arizona

Attendees: P7A77, Amie
Wait-person(s): Brian
What we ate: P7A77 - Manhattan Mushroom Omelette, English Muffin, Coffee, Water; Amie - Big Texas Fajita Omelette, White Toast, Coke, Water
The smoking section was full. Full, I tell you! We were hungry as all get out, so we opted for the cancer-free section, tho' we tended to shake a bit while sitting there.
No complaints about this Denny's, but nothing really stood out. Just your standard stuff. The Manhattan Omelette was deeeeeeelicious, tho' the Texas Fajita Omelette was much, much bigger. "If you're really hungry, it's the thing to get," said Amie.
If you haven't seen the new omelette menus, you should rush right out and see one. They're quite the fancy menu, and even have pop-up omelettes. Well, sorta. I was determined to get one. The hostess didn't seem too keen on the idea, but we asked the manager, and she said that as long as we didn't take the regular menus, she didn't care. Aces!
WAY: No
Free Stuff: America's Favorite Omelettes Menu

This Denny's is just a stone's throw from the other Denny's on Oracle. I guess there's a big market for overpriced greasy food in the area or something. Dick said that he usually works at the previously mentioned other Denny's, so he didn't know too much about this one. Luckily, he knew enough for us to get the basics. He was also kind enough to give us a Phoenix Suns hat that was in the lost-n-found. The flip side is that he was also enough of a heartless bastard to not care if the kid who owned the hat came in looking for it.
WAY: No
Free Stuff: Phoenix Suns Hat

Denny's #6743
Tucson, Arizona

Attendees: P7A77, Amie
Wait-person(s): Heather
What we ate: P7A77 - Coke w/lemon; Amie - Iced Tea
They didn't have cherry sludge. Can you believe it? I was all set for my standard root beer beverage selection, too. Sometimes you get the elevator, and sometimes you get a foot up your ass. While we were sitting at the counter, three (count 'em) Patty Melts came up on the line. I looked around for any indication of a Patty Melt Special going on, but to no avail.
This Denny's is all about landscaping. There are plenty of cacti out front. It's also connected to a Red Roof Inn, so maybe some kids who are visiting Arizona for the first time get pricked while on their way to a nice hearty family breakfast. I hope so, anyway.
WAY: No
Free Stuff: Red Roof Inn Pen (traded for the pen I was carrying)

Denny's #6614
Tucson, Arizona

Attendees: P7A77, Amie
Wait-person(s): Robert (General Manager)
What we ate: Nothing
At first I was pleased to see that they were taking up the local traditional architectural methods, what with their adobe-like structure. This didn't last long, as when I got up close, I saw that it was fake adobe. Some sort of plaster or something. Maybe a concrete mix. They sure are deceitful in the south.
At first, Robert seemed unsure of our true motives. He even went so far as to give us the hairy eyeball. We explained to him the project and told him some examples of other items we've gotten in the past (such as the window poster from Texas). He went in the back to see what he could fine. We resigned ourselves to settling for a Minute Maid pin or something, but Robert came through in the end. His line as he was handing us our prize: "We can't be outdone by a poster." We got a Denny's Training Videotape! A full half-hour of stuff that you have to do if you work at Denny's. Or something like that. I played it in my VCR, but to tell you the truth, I really didn't pay that close of attention. They should've put C. Ronald Petty in it.
WAY: Undetermined
Free Stuff: Denny's Training Videotape - "Covering All The Bases"

Denny's #6742
Green Valley, Arizona

Attendees: P7A77, Amie
Wait-person(s): Lisa (General Manager)
What we ate: Nothing
The Denny's on Valencia in Tucson would have been our last entry for this trip, but while we were there, Amie got the fantabulous idea to go to Mexico. Arriba! We knew there was a Denny's in Nogales (the border town), so we figured why the hell not. Well, happy day, we passed this Denny's on the way! Ain't nothin' better than a found Denny's. Or so we thought. All Lisa gave us was stuff that people usually get for free anyway. I hate that. Oooh!
WAY: No
Free Stuff: Junior Menu & Cup, Stickers

Denny's #0116
Nogales, Arizona

Attendees: P7A77, Amie
Wait-person(s): Joanne
What we ate: P7A77 - Strawberry Milkshake; Amie - Vanilla Milkshake (tho' she ordered chocolate)
We had hoped that this Denny's would be right on the border, but it was a few miles north. Lucky for me that Amie speaks Spanish, because she was able to tell me what everyone was saying. We figured it'd be too difficult for us to try to explain what Project:Denny's was all about, so I opted to pocket something. I was bein' all slick and casual, slipping the pepper shaker into my hand while reaching for my shake. All was going smoothly untill I dropped it on the table, resulting in a loud 'thud'. So much for bein' suave.
WAY: Undetermined
Free Stuff: Pepper Shaker (stolen)
