You went to a high-end restaurant that is brand spanking new, has just recently had its grand opening and is therefore still a HUGE novelty because everyone wants to be one of the first to try it. You not only did that, but you did it on a Friday night, at the height of dinnertime.

Next time, try going at 3:30 in the middle of a Tuesday afternoon.

Or wait until the novelty wears off and people start only going there because it's a place they already know they enjoy.

So when that sushi place fills up again because the ChopHouse customers have already tried it, and will now be staggering their future visits (if they have any), and are returning to their usual less expensive sushi place, you'll be waiting in line. And the Chophouse will have a table available for you, no wait.

Retail customer lesson #473: "the other line is always shorter."
