Got nowhere with the suits at the Steak ‘N Shake booth. But 15 of you will get a free shake if you find me at the Fremont Nakamoto Meetup tonight. First come, first served.

Kristen! If you're reading this, you're about to see why Steak 'N Shake should join us here on Nostr! Nostrafarians, please zap, share, and leave a comment for the Steak 'N Shake Global Brand Development folks.
All zaps on this post will be used to purchase shakes at the Fremont Street Steak 'N Shake next Thursday evening during the Bitcoin For Corporations Meetup (RSVP at link below) to not only show the power of Bitcoin, but the compounding effect of Nostr as a protocol, social media network, and circular economy.
You'll see how you can use Nostr to build and foster the Steak 'N Shake brand identity, value, and community within the decentralized ecosystem. Like Bitcoiners, Nostr users are extremely generous and fiercely loyal towards those that share interests.
Steak 'N Shake is a pioneer in Bitcoin payments so why not follow suit within the decentralized social media space, too?

Discussion
Had a bizarre experience with Steak ‘N Shake 💯 Walked up to talk about how Fremont was my first stop in town and they just looked at me like I was crazy. Not even a thanks for supporting or buying. Asked about the cool hologram machine in their booth and the suit there couldn’t even tell me if that company was at the conference or what kind of partnership they have with them. Felt like their directive was just #smileandwaveboys 🤦♀️ Clearly they didn’t understand anything. Super weird.
I talked to the business director of the franchise. She was very new to bitcoin but seemed interested at least in learning about our community and the level of passion we’re bringing to them. I think this was kind of sprung on them suddenly and they weren’t prepared for it.
Remember that in a franchise business each location is independently owned and operated, so it’s more decentralized than a chain that’s completely run by the corporate headquarters. This location also didn’t use the order kiosks like the kind that nostr:npub1csamkk8zu67zl9z4wkp90a462v53q775aqn5q6xzjdkxnkvcpd7srtz4x9 showed us in St. Louis. They just had an iPad with the Speed POS app on it.
At this point, it’s up to bitcoiners to decide to keep up the momentum. If we choose to spend fiat at stores that accept bitcoin, they will eventually lose interest and the exporter will fail.

Agreed. From talking to them it is roughly a 70/30 split with franchisee to corporate owned stores. The boots on the ground locals were much more receptive and shocked at the actual tech — ease, speed, etc.
The thing that did annoy me was zero signage. They could have prepared for that though. I put up a sign at the NLV location myself.
Yeah, it's hella unfortunate. I posted a note earlier this afternoon on how I tried to speak with them again last night and got essentially the same treatment you did.
At this point, I'm just cool with them showing other corporates Bitcoin works as a payment mechanism and nothing more. Maybe the next to the table will get it -- I'm optimistic that eventually someone will.
🤞🤞🤞🤞
