It's not "pearl clutching" to explain why the feedback you get from this method isn't going to be helpful.

Annoying your focus group and intruding upon their night out isn't the way to get valid advice. It's how you get "please go away" advice when they start telling you anything to de-escalate and finish the task so they can get on with their night

I don't understand why people are fixated on the idea of gathering user feedback at a bar, even when they admit it's not going to be good advice.

What's even the point of this exercise? Why go to lengths to extract feedback from bar goers if you don't think it matters?

It's pearl-clutching because bars typically aren't full of people with their assholes puckered quite so tightly and generally appreciate anything different than staring at the wall or talking to people they've known for years (do you remember?)

We say this place isn't becoming reddit but man is this the ultimate moment to say "woosh"!
