When the results are compiled and used, we won't even be able to go out to eat in peace without some marketing gimmick pushed into our faces. It's actually quite sad at what lengths companies will go to in order to squease an extra buck out of their customers. This is the same situation that occurs when one goes to pick up groceries at the local Mao Mart. Merchandise is constantly rearranged so that customers have to wade through a bunch of stuff they don't need to get to the stuff that they do need. Then they place all the candy and crap that kids are interested in at the long checkout lanes so that parents will be bugged relentlessly to buy even more unneeded crap. The fact that is is becoming increasingly difficult to find a checkout counter actually manned by a cashier even adds to the frustration. It would be nice if Mao Mart wasn't the only game in town in my locale. This is just another experiment whose results will be sold to marketers.
