So true, Ebbie. I don't know anyone who eats at Weber's. (grin) But there seem to be thousands of tourists (probably Americans) who are willing to line up for 45 minutes to get a hamburger and some fries...

They figure if that many people are already lined up, then the food must be INCREDIBLE, right? And after standing in line for 20 minutes, they've invested too much time to give up and leave (the Vietnam syndrome)! So they stay. And stay. And stay. Finally they get to eat a greasy hamburger and fries. They have to figure it's better than any other burger and fries...because they waited so long for it.

Fascinating how people's minds work!
