>> If I showed up for lunch and despite power being out (probably on the entire block or neighborhood) the proprietors were set up outside making cold sandwiches next to a sign that said "Sorry, power's out so only egg salad" I'd be thrilled.

Having this information accurately communicated to the customer could impact their willingness to return to the establishment.
