Got vaccinated? Here's all the free stuff you can get

https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2021/04/24/business/vaccine-freebies/index.html

New York(CNN)After surviving a fear-filled year of the Covid-19 pandemic, getting vaccinated is a cause for celebration. As Covid-19 vaccines become more readily available, companies want to reward Americans who've been vaccinated with special offers after getting their shots.

CNN Business put together a list of companies that are providing freebies when you show proof of vaccination.

Budwiser, Nathan's hot dogs, Junior's Cheesecaks, White Castle, Krispy Cream Donuts, etc.

How long till qpukes whine & cry?

no one will force you.

But why so angry that they are offered? Are you the food police?

Angry? You saw anger? You haven’t begun to see anger. I just laugh at idiots who have to be bribed to get shots.

who would say "WAIT? A free donut? Wow, OK, count me in!"

Most people who scream about not wanting the vaccine are either idiots who will never get it or people who will get it but keep declaring that they didn't.

Either way "unhealthy" food doesn't come into the equation.

There are two spaces to record "other" vaccinations -- i.e., booster shots. If you've laminated your card, you'll need to get a new one to record the boosters.

But I'm not laminating my vaccine card, as has been said, we may need to use it again in the future. I'm thinking of getting a plastic cover for it, though. In the meantime, it's rattling around in my wallet.

They have been giving $20 Kroger & Walmart cards at FEMA Memphis, but still very low numbers. FEMA is preparing to close the siteweeks early.

Actually smoking went down for awhile, but kids have taken it up.

Older people not so much.

I was excited about getting my free donut. But lo, they shut it down.

Not worth driving as far away as the other stores are not worth the gas money.

All he needs to do is show his boss his vaccination card. He works at Meijers.
