Awesome Customers and their crazy schemes

Perp last seen driving erratically down the Long Island Expressway towards uncertainty.
Our pal Chuck McCall is featured today as a favorite customer at Fayes.

Short fact sheet on Chuck:
-Inventor- holds many patents to devices and ideologies that will only bring the end of humanity closer, I'm sure.  Sorta a Dr. Strangelove for our time.
-Travels to Malaysia and other exotic locales to tell people how to do their job.  Also traves to Fayes to tell us how to do our job.
-Drives a cool old convertible so people won't know that he's completely void of personality
-Has an awesome wife named Jessica. 
-Likes to garden when he's not harassing Fayes customers who are just trying to read the $6 NY Times on the bench on Sundays

Scheme:
Chuck doesn't like tomatoes, but loves to grow them.  When he is trying to get rid of some of his little tomatoes he likes to bring in a few to Fayes and runs contests for other customers.  So far he's done "Buy an Iced Coffee get a free tomato" and "Guess Patrick's weight and get a free tomato."  The tomatoes are really good.   Here are the stats: Free Tomato with Iced Coffee Purchase- Didn't entice customers to buy the iced coffee, but the reg iced coffee drinkers were really stoked.  Guess Patrick's Weight- three people got within 2lbs of my weight, but I let a few people have a tomato even when they were off by more than 2lbs.  All and all I think the tomato give aways at Fayes are a hit.
Thanks Chuck.
