A line doesn't make me want to go to a place. I prefer someplace that's not super crowded, though obviously not totally empty.

#108Not all that different from the 18th century "claque," when theater owners or playwrights would pay groups to attend their performances and applaud loudly. A variant was paying a group to boo and hiss a rival production. A line doesn't make me want to go to a place. I prefer someplace that's not super crowded, though obviously not totally empty.
I now know that laughter stimulates laughter so it kinda makes sense. You can make a show funnier by pretending an audience is laughing.
In this sense, a queue out of the door shows high demand. Generally, people want things in high demand.
Would people want to wear diamonds if they were as cheap as glass and the price reflected that?

#109It's pathetic if you base your dining decision on a line outside. I would never stand in line so I dine only at restaurants that accept reservations or call ahead to see if there is a wait. This app is for goofy hipsters who have zero gravitas and don't know it.
