3 . I still remember my first time going to the canteen.
When I stood in the doorway, I realized I had to act fast or I would be left behind.
As I was pushed along the line, I saw dishes I didn’t recognize and as people cut in line and picked up dishes left and right.
I have been at my company for over a year and a half. I

On a Thursday afternoon in March, an e-mail requirement came in to Ekiben restaurant in Baltimore—tempura broccoli (天妇罗西兰花) together with fresh herbs and sliced onion. The man who sent the e-mail didn’t actually want the food itself. He was writing on behalf of his mother-in-law, Rita, who liked the dish so much He went on to explain that she was now in the final stages of lung cancer at her home in Vermont and that he was hoping to get the recipe to make it for her there.
Steve Chu, one of the restaurant’s co-owners, read the e-mail and quickly replied with an alternative suggestion. “Your behavior is definitely considerate and touching,” he wrote “We’d like to meet you in Vermont and make it fresh for Rita.”
Brandon Jones, the son-in-law, was astonished. “I e-mailed back, saying, ‘You do know that this is Vermont we’re talking about, right?’” says Brandon. “But Steve responded, ‘No problem. You tell us the date, time, and location and we’ll be there.’”
For the past six years, every time Rita visited Baltimore, the first place she desired to go was Ekiben restaurant so she could enjoy broccoli, and I really wanted her to have it one more time,” Brandon says.
“She had always told us, ‘When I’m on my death bed, I long to have that broccoli’”, recalls Brandon.
That Friday after work, a day after receiving Brandon’s e-mail, Chu loaded his truck with a hot plate and a cooler filled with ingredients and then headed for Vermont.
As soon as Chu and his team pulled into the parking lot, they got to work. They pulled down the gate of the pickup, hooked (钩住) the hot plate to the truck’s power port, and started cooking and deep-frying. After neatly packing everything up, they knocked on their customer’s door and waited for the answer.

10 . Social media promotion (促销) has become so important nowadays that businesses are offering freebies to anyone with a certain following on popular social networks. Case in point, this Milan-based restaurant that offers free sushi to people with a bit of influence on Instagram.
Matteo and Tomaso Pittarello, the owners of the “This Is Not a Sushibar” restaurant in Milan, are well aware of the potential (潜力) of social networks like Instagram, and they’re more than willing to give away some sushi, if it means getting some exposure (曝光). At their restaurant, people have the classic payment choices-cash or card-plus a novel one, paying in Instagram followers. ① The idea is pretty simple: the more followers you have, the more you can eat without having to spend a cent.
It makes sense that Instagram stars with hundreds of thousands or even millions of followers get the most free food, but even a few 1,000 followers on the photo-sharing platform will get you a free bit to it Customers who have between 1,000 and 5,000 followers will get a free sushi plate. 5,000 to 10,000 followers get you two free plates, 10,000 to 50,000, four free dishes, 50,000 to 100,000 followers, eight dishes, and people with 100,000 Instagram followers get a free full lunch or dinner.
② Just having a lot of followers isn’t enough, customers also have to publish a post on their Instagram account and tag @thisisnotasishibar and include the hashtag #thisisnotasushibar. will only receive their free sushi after showing the publish post at the counter.
③ “Today, advertising (广告) on social networks and, in particular, Instagram, is what works best,” the Pittarello brothers said, adding that the aim of their Instagram payment method is twofold--by involving Instagrammers both big and small, the business will get bigger exposure, and it will also make customers feel engaged in the project.
“This Is Not a Sushibar” introduced the payment alternative (选择), but we’ll have to wait and see how long it will exist for. ④ . Without a set limit of daily Instagram payments, I think the restaurant may start recording losses pretty soon. After all, 1,000 followers on Instagram are not that hard to get, and people will rarely say no to a free lunch.
