Is there anything from stopping someone having a backpack full of phones and pretending to be the whole crowd. Okay, they'll probably work that out pretty quick and ban you. But three or four accounts you might get away with?
Mostly backpacks full of phones likely cost more than each phone could net you.
So essentially the entire chain is fake now. It's basically the sign of the apocalypse.
The entire chain: the facebook likes are fake, the hipsters, the customers, even the press release? Do those restaurants even exist in reality ;) ?

If you are talking about Bi-Rite creamery near Dolores Park, I feel you, but hear me out. Three things: 1. I fucking despise lines. I will pay money, I will forgo comfort, I will give up on a thing I want, if a Line is an obstacle. I'm the jabroni paying VIP entrance to clubs not because I want to be cool, but because I can't be fucked to stand in a line. I won't do it. I'll go hungry before I stand in a line. I boug…
Bi-Rite is convenient to Dolores Park, but the product is very unexceptional in SF in 2017. Like almost all the other boutique shops, they're not a state-certified pasteurizer, so they're legally required to buy "ice cream base" from one; they use Straus, like most high-end shops in the Bay: https://missionlocal.org/2015/06/san-francisco-ice-cream-is-... http://strausfamilycreamery.com/products/item/organic-wholes...…

I've come to believe that San Franciscans love pain and inconvenience.
Explaining why they moved to San Francisco in the first place?
I didn't know it at the time but this was the exact reason I moved to SF.
This sucks.

I really don't get the whole wait outside for 35 minutes to get marginally better ice cream thing. I feel like people want the tweetbrags about visiting the trendy ice cream shop more than they want the ice cream.

>They’ve even been hand-picked by a casting agent of sorts, an algorithmic one that selects each person according to age, location, style and Facebook “likes.” >They may look excited, but that could also be part of the production. Acting disengaged while they idle in line could tarnish their “reputation score,” an identifier that influences whether they’ll be “cast” again. Oh boy, it's happening! https://en.wikipedia…

I tried to think of a realistic scenario where someone would be inclined to fake the existence of a restaurant: to make real estate look more appealing? If a RE developer built a development with several dozen houses, it could boost the values of houses enough to make it worth the cost of faking a few trendy bars/creameries/restaurants next door.
