To as if IHOP is only doing: yeah, IHOP does do it for donations thats it. There is no ulterior motive, actually it cost us more money. Getting more guest?? Are you serious? When was the last time you stepped into an IHOP especailly on a Saturday or Sunday? IHOP has a loyal following as it is and doesn't have to give away free pancakes to get guest. Its a shame that some people just can't let others do something nice for those in need without ridiculing them.
