What data would be required? A betting slip? (-:

Probably not. That’s what makes it a bet. But if you’ve ever worked in a restaurant, it certainly seems logical.

"How late are you open tonight? Ok, thanks."

It seems unlikely that there is a large contingent of people who Google a restaurant (which they must be doing in order to get Yelp's number), ignore the listing of hours right next to the number and call the restaurant to get the hours. I believe it happens, but I have a hard time believing that particular sequence of events accounts for even one call in 50.

I do it all the time, google’s hours are often wrong, especially during covid.

To clarify: You're saying you do this more often than you order takeout? Especially during Covid? Because I explicitly said I believe it happens, just that it's a minority of calls.

Yeah, I almost never order over the phone. I go in person to look at the menu.
