I was walking home today when I found a restaurant with excellent reviews on google maps. Summarising them, googleAI said that ‘people recommend xxx dish’, and when I clicked into it, I saw a referenced review raving about this dish, and in it they described their ethnicity and how they would regularly order there when they studied near this place before.
I was the same ethnicity as them, so I assumed we’d have similar tastes in food and ordered it. Then the owner started staring at me which I found kinda weird at first. But then after a while, he handed me the food, and said with a big smile ‘great to have you back!’
Turns out this dish was a really niche and specific dish that no one ever ordered, and after checking the reviews, the one i saw recommending it was the only one out of thousands.He probably thought I was the same person as the one who left the very long and detailed review, and didn’t remember what they looked like at all. I just took what i ordered and left as it was a takeaway, but I’m embarrassed for no reason and am never going back.

I love when this happens. For a second you get to live the life of someone who has their shit together enough to be a regular somewhere.
Why wouldn't you go back? I would be the FAVORITE REGULAR.
Lean in! Being a regular is great.
