If you're visiting a new place (presumably the typical use case for Yelp), how can you possibly look inside a restaurant and know if the people inside are repeat customers?
>If everyone is casually dressed, and seems familiar with the place, it gets repeat business
Oh. So when travelling, you recommend selecting restaurants by looking inside each establishment and inspecting the clothing of the customers? By that argument, how could any restaurant beat (eg) McDonald's, with its casually-dressed, repeat customers?
- homosaur 15y agoWow, "casually dressed" is the nicest thing I've heard anyone say about a McD's customer in a long time!
- nkassis 15y agoAll I can say is many people love McDonald. I mean, that place wouldn't have succeeded and sold billions of burgers if it was at least partially satisfying it's customers. Sure the food might be horrible for you but I can't say I hate the taste of a BigMac. You can tell by the look of the place that it's not a high end restaurant or a locally run restaurant. That should let you set your expectation for the place.
- screwt 15y agoI don't know why the above comment has been down-voted - it's completely fair and valid. HN works best when downvoting is not used as disagreement. If you don't like McDonalds, fine. But it's clearly true that many people do.
