It reminds of of Seinfeld:
PETERMAN: Morty. My stories are what sell these clothes.
MORTY: Cheap fabric, and dim lighting. That's how you move merchandise.
Now the problem is TGIF will no longer have dim lighting (because apparently modern is bright lighting). What a shame.
- sizzzzlerz 10y agoor the episode in The Simpsons where Moe turns his bar into Uncle Moe's Family Feedbag with "a whole bunch of crazy crap on the walls".

- sizzzzlerz 10y agooops! missed that. nevermind.
- drawkbox 10y agoNot only that they were dark and you could get lost in them. They had booths and private walls where you couldn't just walk in the front door and see everyone like an open office under one giant spotlight. I dig the new modern warehouse style like Chipotle's but everything is too open with little personality. Restaurants used to be like a labyrinth in some restaurants, all dark and adventurous where noise didn't carry, now it is a GAP/Apple Store in the mall. Back in the day with arcades and flair, I guess I miss it. Everything looks the same. One day Ronald McDonald, dark booth labyrinths and flair will return. Famous Dave's BBQ has some of this like Fridays/Cracker Barrel and I like it, fun to look around and you can't see everyone either.
- mindslight 10y agoAFAICT, "modern" lighting uses spotty directional lights which only seem bright if you look right at them. Their actual subject illumination is quite poor, especially with the contrast.
