One expects flawless experience every time, not 97% of the time. A steak house is not that critical, but would you fly if the success rate of an airliner is 97%? Would you go to a steak house where you get a food poisoning every 3% of the time? Where do you draw the line?

Waiting in the line for 30 minutes can't be compared to dying, that's nonsense and I'm sure you realize that.

Yes I would go to steakhouse which has 97% chance of being awesome, with 3% chance of waiting in the line 30+ minutes, even on valentine. But that's me (and my wife)
