Privacy concerns aside, I would be mortified if a restaurant did something special for me. I don't want extra attention. I don't want to have to pretend to be excited about a beverage I don't really care for or a gift I will just throw away.
Now if you will excuse, I see some clouds at which I need to shake my cane.
- CoastalCoder 1y agoWhat if their special thing for you was to treat you like a truly genetic customer? I.e., like what Leslie Knope did for Run Swanson on his birthday.

- magicalhippo 1y agoMany moons ago I was celebrating an anniversary with my parents and sister at a smallish, but very good, restaurant downtown. As we were chatting while waiting for the dessert, the whole restaurant started singing "Happy Birthday", as the waiter (and owner) came with the dessert, sparkler and all. I sooo wanted to just disappear. Turned out my mom had told the waiter/owner about the occasion, and he had unbeknownst to my mom gotten all the other guests in on it. Nice thought, just totally not my thing.
- maxbond 1y agoDidn't worry, they'll find this comment and stick you at an okay booth, provide okay service, and pretend not to recognize you next time you come in. It'll be perfect.
- fragmede 1y agoDo you also give a fake name to the barista at Starbucks so they don't track you? Other restaurants can't even be bothered to do that much personalization, and just give you a number (and treat you like one).
- NoPicklez 1y agoI guess then you wouldn't go to such a restaurant. I dare way there is a way to completely opt out of it as well.
