Thursday, July 08, 2004
Forget what you've heard. There is such a thing as a free lunch ? if you're bald, that is.
Lodi, Calif., restaurant owner Gary Arnold, who is hairless himself, has a special deal on Wednesdays, according to The Associated Press. He charges customers at Gary's Uptown Restaurant and Bar (search) according to the amount of hair on their heads.
Those with less than half their hair will get up to 50 percent snipped off the cost of their food, and the totally bald will get 100 percent off and eat for nothing.
It doesn't matter if the baldness is natural or has been achieved by shaving. And even repeat baldies continue to chow for free.
Not only that, but they get to chose from a special menu, which includes filet of snapper, flat iron steak and chicken fettuccine.
Arnold calls it a "win-win" situation. News of the place has reached beyond Lodi to Modesto, Sacramento and Stockton. The hairless of the region congregate in his dining room, which can look like an advertisement for Hair Club for Men on any given Wednesday, he told the Lodi News. This has doubled business on what used to be his slowest day.
And the men can feel at ease in a supportive environment that nurtures their lack of cover.
"Years ago, being bald was looked down upon," Arnold said. "Now I think it's trendy."
Stockton resident Rich Handel, finishing off a discounted Caesar salad (search) ? the 50 percent reduction mirroring his half-gone locks ? agreed, saying this was the first time he benefited from being bald.
