“People are always trying to hack the menu. It creates a sense of added value,” he said. “Restaurant companies have always been aware of the value of being on the inside, right? Creating something where you know something that other people don’t know and that creates a sense of, I guess, uniqueness. Others are actually created and planted by the companies themselves to create hype. Some of these word-of-mouth trends are combinations customers have discovered. “You order a um, a double quarter pounder and a four piece McNuggets, and you basically put the nuggets on the sandwich and you basically have a chicken burger,” he said. The combination of social media and digital ordering has made it easier for people to Frankenstein together new foods, according to Alex Susskind, who directs the Food and Beverage Institute at Cornell University. They just customize wildly,” said Vannet. “In the end, these people are coming out with $8 drinks that started at like $4. Right now, the Barbie Drink is all the rage: a venti vanilla creme Frappuccino with three pumps of vanilla, three pumps of raspberry, half and half, mixed with freeze dried dragon fruit, topped with whipped cream and more dragon fruit. She says a lot of young customers, mostly women and girls under the age of 25, would order drinks like the Mermaid Frappuccino, the Medicine Ball and Taylor Swift’s drink. Every order would end with a selfie because these drinks start on TikTok. “And they look at me like I’m this geriatric weirdo. “They’re picked up by their mom and they’re in the back seat of the car and they’re, you know, reading off the instructions to their mom at the drive through or they come into the lobby and they order these bananas drinks,” she said. But in the afternoon after school let out, the kids would descend on the store. And she noticed this pattern: In the morning she’d get her regulars ordering a drip coffee or a latte. Thank you for confirming,” a user posted.Susie Vannet recently worked at a Starbucks in Austin, Texas. “Wait a minute… I’ve thought this for years.

All my places are highly rated,” another commented. “I think if you come from an area with a high Asian population it skews it a bit. If they have those faded pink pleather chairs and lots of Chinese movie posters, the food is gonna be fire,” a person wrote. People shared their own methods for tracking down top-notch Chinese cuisine in the area. The video racked up over 8.3 million views and 1.6 million likes. However, the food balances it out, so you end up with 3.5 stars. They’re dinging all these restaurants because the service is bad. Without the nitpicking peanut gallery of Yelp, the math would be off. You need to flag down the waiters.”īut they’re not the only factor. They’re not going to come up to you and proactively give you refills. “Here’s my theory: The cultural expectations for service are different in Asia,” he explained. The food isn’t as good as it could be.” However, “the orange 3.5 is exactly what you want.” While the servers may seem “rude,” the food is going to be exceptional. But when a Chinese restaurant is too highly rated, that means “too many white people like it. When a restaurant is rated low, it’s obviously bad.
