As I've mentioned before, most of my regulars are consistent, consuming the same food and beverages, come hell or high water. However, these "regulars," I speak of know who they are, The youngest among them are in their thirties. They've experimented, chosen poorly, and finally settled on what they know they like.
The patrons I meet that seem confounded by the Paradox of Choice are young and dumb. And I wouldn't attribute this just to the fact that they haven't been "around the block." If someone aged 21-28 walks into the Crystal and seems unsure, I can confidently say that I can choose better for them with just a few questions than they can choose for themselves, based on what I know we offer and my established perceptions and experiences. Perhaps this can be linked with a younger generation being more susceptible to FOMO, pressure from peers and society, and a greater concern for how one is perceived, both in person and digitally. I'm not sure I'm proud to be a Millennial.
