I'm not sure how often this happens post-2008, but before that I knew several people (most would describe them as "beautiful young women") who were paid to go to busy bars and order a particular brand of alcohol. Or to encourage other people to buy those drinks for them, I guess. It seemed like a waste of money to me until I realized that I'd started ordering Jack Daniel's Honey liqueur because they'd installed one of those machines with the upside-down whiskey bottles at a bar I was in, and it sounded interesting.
So people are pretty susceptible to steering on things like alcohol preference, and it doesn't seem to take much to steer us.

- utzucti 5y agoMy understanding is that bars in Vegas do this with “atmosphere models” who are payed to fill out bars and encourage people to order more drinks in general. I heard about it in this podcast: nodumbquestions.fm/listen/2021/5/20/109-what-happens-in-vegas starting at 37:00 with context and about 39:50 when he gets into atmosphere modeling. This guy started working in the back of a bar for a few days a week and part of the deal was he would spend some nights sitting in a related bar. He also goes into a lot of other interesting stuff that happens in Vegas which I don’t remember off the top of my head.
