I get what he's saying. Follow the rules. But having worked as a cashier, there's a rule called "customer service" . It's what you do if you want your customers to keep coming back. Making too many rules is a system that won't work either. Eventually the system will break. Following lawyer rule number 3, you can go to a different place that doesn't have so many rules.

Almost the entirety of all articles, talks and videos are like that. For example try googling "How to flip your screen horizontally". I bet you that most guides you will find will first spend at least a few sentences talking about the reasons why flipping the screen could be useful or other irrelevant introductory information. Don't know why people feel the need to do that, but I guess it would be perceived as awkward if it was done any different. I'm not an expert but I read a few guides on how to write good articles and they recommend expanding what you want to say with tons of examples and only slowly arrive at the point, like he did.

Not all, but some places don't take credit cards because credit cards can be tracked as to how much money was exchanged how many times. The reason they might not want this could be because they are a money laundering front, basically the business is a facade made to look like it could be profitable through which illegal money can be transferred to 'normal' people without suspicion being thrown their way. Or they are just really old fashioned and will likely go out of business.

@overlorddruid84886 жыл бұрын
I agree that if people read the rules and followed them correctly they would have a good time. However Burt's doesn't seem to understand how business works. Most people expect to be able to walk into a restaurant, sit down, order what they want and get there food in a timely manner. Burt's breaks this rule by in-convincing their customers with rules that are out of the norm. No one wants to sit down and wait for a pizza for 2 hours when they can just go to pizza hut and get one in under 20 minutes, especially when there is no one else present. Making a difficult experience for people by making rules that seem mundane to most people will not keep people coming back, no matter how good your pizza is. I know that's not what the point of his talk is, its about thinking like a lawyer and the difference of perspective that gives you. This was just my perspective, from my experience.
@hotjanuary6 жыл бұрын
Overlord Druid. I believe the 2 hour rule has to do with making pizza dough and grating cheese. I make my own pizza and pita dough. It takes 1.5 hours to wait for the dough to rise. If I use it after the 2 hour mark, the dough tastes more sour, and not the taste I wanted. If I freeze my dough ahead of time, the flavour tastes lifeless. Make your own bread from fresh ingredients and you will notice a difference.

"How to order pizza like a lawyer?" *makes a call to get pizza* pizza guy: thank you for calling dominos pizza, may I take our order? me: your honor, I would like a pepperoni pizza with some sausage on the side pizza guy: that will be $21.85 me: OBJECTION, I'll pay $10 pizza guy: yeah, we can't do that. In case you haven't noticed, we ain't an auction me: but your honor, this is a democracy pizza guy: I'm glad you honor me but we set a price and if you don't like it, don't come here me: does that mean no pizza? pizza guy: guess so me: that's cruel and unusual punishment for a guy fighting for his rights pizza guy: ok, I'm gonna hang up now me: wait! there was nothing on your policy about hanging up if the person was arguing for the right to order pizza, this is an ex post facto law! *guy hangs up*

This was a spot on expose, I think, and I may or may not be a little bit biased here as a law student, but this type of analytical thinking has immensely improved my life. It all comes down to understanding that thing in life, events, processes, people are governed by rules and there's thought behind those rules and should be respected, although it might not always be obvious. And no one is obligated to sit you down and explain them to you if you haven't put in a little bit of effort to show you care. And on the other hand, each and every one of us also has a set of rules, but most haven't ordered them neatly and so are having a harder time explaining how they want to move about in their surrounding. Once we do, things become simple - your rules are compatible with the surrounding or aren't, and if they aren't you change one of the two variables until you find balance.

Basically what I learned was why lawyers are a problem. Instead of following general social norms, it's more important to follow hidden obscure rules. I understand that rules serve a purpose, but here he was talking about having to figure out something that wasn't completely obvious unless you read the menu before you came, and being proud of it because he's a lawyer. Seems out of touch with society.

Not a fast food restaurant, that's right. Several extremely high class restaurants throughout the world take this approach, and thrive. Pizza has gotten a reputation of fast food, but that's undeserved. It is indeed a faster food than some other dishes of the traditional Italian cuisine, but proper pizza is worlds apart from a McDonald's burger or anything similar.

@@officialtechin5 old comment but I'd like to add this for whoever stumbles upon it next. Turns out that the newly reopened restaurant does accept credit card, and no longer has the huge warnings on the menu. Going by the prices, this isn't a fast-food chain, but it's definitely not high cuisine either. It's exactly the kind of place I would walk into on a Saturday night if I'm looking for a good meal without going for anything special. I've seen some other comments pointing out that the behavior described here is fairly normal for very high end restaurants. But this is clearly and everyday restaurant for normal people looking for a decent pizza. Nothing special about it...

I'm really interested in this because all my life I've been the kind of person who comes into a new situation and hangs back and observes to see what the 'rules' are: who always sits where in this gathering place? Who is the alpha person here - the person you don't get too familiar with too fast? What are the relationships between these people? How do these people get along with each other? What are the appropriate actions to take in this situation, based on the 'culture' created by the people who are already in this situation - whether it's work, a school, a playground, the airport, a restaurant or shop or a social club or church group. Step back, don't put myself forward, watch the relationships and the ways - the unwritten rules - of how these people get along and make this 'enterprise' work for them. And one of my pet peeves has always been the newcomer to any situation who barges in saying, 'Where I come from we do it this way and all you people are doing it wrong and should change to the way I'm used to expecting in some other place.' They are just boorish and clueless and never welcomed because they disrupt the delicate balance and unwritten rules of the new group or situation they are entering into. It has always seemed to me common sense to reconnoiter every new situation and try to figure out the rules. It makes life and relationships so much smoother and easier when you're not sitting at someone else's desk (because he always sits there), tuning the TV to the wrong channel (because at this hour everyone always watches the news), using someone else's mug and leaving it for the cleaning staff (because here, they keep the sink clean) or interrupting when the alpha person in the group is explaining what's on the agenda for the evening and suggesting something that these people never do, WHEN YOU ARE NOT YET FULLY INTEGRATED INTO THE GROUP and they've not yet absorbed you as part of the web of relationships and they've not yet made room for your input. When you hang back and look for the rules, you discover people's sense of themselves: this person likes to be asked; that person doesn't like to be interrupted; that person needs to be drawn out; the other person prefers his private life to be separate from the workplace. Then you can be sensitive to all these 'rules' that people have about themselves, their space, their dignity -- and respect that in your dealings with them. And if you do that with everyone from the bottom to the top, you can end up getting anything done, any change made - you can have loyalty and respect and willingness to help you from pretty much everyone. But first, you've got to know the rules of the place and the rules of how people believe they should be treated as individuals. This guy nailed it. And no, I'm not a lawyer, just an introvert with a tendency to observe and think things through.
@Kavriel6 жыл бұрын
I think the message was :you can analyse situations in life as containing laws. If you can get the laws, you can strive. If you don't, change the situation. It's very true, but also a bit crude. Other theories are more complex and therefore more inclusive, such as game theory. Our work bends our thought processes and make us see things through that lense, often times people with similar career think alike. I'm not convinced it's good or bad, just a thought. I tend to think it's bad.
