Ever since that story came out about Texas Roadhouse people were shook. I don’t doubt there are servers out there who do stuff to people’s food but 400k was such an unbelievable number especially when no one could find this group. It seemed like it was all everyone was talking about online, even the MAGA whites were talking about how much they love Texas Roadhouse basically as a dog whistle to where they stood on the issues. It’s almost like people who are perpetually online have lost their critical thinking skills.
I think going out to any restaurant there’s a crap shoot that someone will mess with your order. I’d go to Texas Roadhouse again. This is probably the best time to go because people will be watching them like a hawk. Don’t miss out on those good yeast rolls with the good cinnamon butter. Don’t miss out on visiting restaurants like Arby’s either just because a podcaster has a smear campaign against them.
“Engagement bait without a source” is definitely the best way to describe most of social media these days. The segment about Texas Roadhouse and how willing people are to believe random tweets and screenshots with zero verification reminded me of the online true crime community, which spreads Qanon level nonsense and conspiracy theories and treats random YouTubers and TikTokers like trusted sources. I also feel like this age of disinformation and clickbait is only going to get so much worse over the next few years, especially since going viral is all people seem to care about anymore.
It sounds like the beef industry is kicking itself for its 2013 case against the Rule of COOL (COOL stands for country of origin labeling). They got what they wanted, now they want the opposite!
They also pushed for more lenient monitoring and standards by the USDA… got that too, and now they want the opposite…
It’s almost like the original rules and laws were put there for a reason…
