Business Insider attended the event and found a long line.
And the time spent in the line multiplied by the price at which those lined up value their time will roughly equal the price they would have paid at a for profit store. You cannot lower what consumers pay for a product. Subsidize the product and you will get lines. Increase the subsidy and you will get longer lines.

Will polymarket let us live bet on when the first crime is committed on the premises? If so, genius marketing
It’ll be like Running Man with poor people

I know no one can be bothered to read articles nowadays, but at least skim the OP.
It's just an advertisement for a sketchy online sports book/gambling house and it's only going to last for 5 days. I'm sure the cost of the free food they give away is just a drop in the bucket compared to the amount of VC cash they have sitting in their marketing budget.
The NFL currently doesn't allow "prediction market" companies to advertise with them (including the Super Bowl), but I imagine that will change quickly (probably as early as next year) so get ready to hear these companies names more and more.

Polymarket says it's doing its own pop-up, calling it "New York's first free grocery market," for 5 days starting Feb. 12 at noon.
Free groceries, courtesy of your favorite prediction market.

Well I see a problem with your formula already....many of those people's time is worthless.

They’ve had free grocery stores in California for years. Unintentionally, but still …

Wait till they try to tell the first brother that he can’t have all the crab legs.

The people in line have no value for their time.

I’m just picturing 1 white Karen in there apologizing and handing over her one can of green beans to an illegal.

This is an experiment on how to become a millionaire in 1 year.
First, take a billion dollars, open a free grocery store in an area surrounded by miscreants. Keep it fully stocked for 11 months.

This will fail in grand fashion.
People will skip the line, push others out of the way, and take way more than they need, even if there's a posted limit. This isn't a hallmark movie.
