    What are they banking on to keep this profitable? People being tempted by beverages, entrees and dessert? People getting so accustomed to going to the OG for dinner that they keep doing that after the deal is over? People feeling judged by the staff? People gaining so much weight in the first two weeks that they stop?

    Or is there some catch in the fine print where there really are limits?

    Because I could absolutely see my dad signing the whole family up and trying to go as much as possible if this were a thing decades ago.

      Someone was saying they’re selling a limited number of passes, so it’s just a popularity stunt/ad campaign. Maybe not really intended to allow them to profit off the people who get the passes?

        I think part of it is dragging other paying customers with you since you have the pass, and the novelty wearing off way before the 13 weeks is up.

        I bet the average amount of visits per pass ends up being around 10-15.

          Dragging others with you had occurred to me but I’m way too poor to have thought of point 2;) but yes you’re probably right.
