Bob hated the place so much that he went there every day (and yes, "there" = "the place" and "Bob" = "he") | ||

Since its an eating-placeish government building, is he perhaps an underprivileged / homeless individual who is going to a government sponsored shelter? So he pretty much didn't have a choice in the matter? If not, was him going there actually related to him hating the place? directly? butterfly-effect-wise? | ||

is the name of the restaurant " A Salt & Batter-y Cafe" do they flog him with a salmon? is it a fast food place? do they serve.. breakfast? lunch? dinner? dessert? did he eat there? did he go there knowing he would hate? is any memory failure relevant? if the hateful thing were resolved, would he still go there? could he find the hateful subject at another food server? if yes, would he be compelled to go there, too? did he hate something on his plate? | ||

I bet the FA is because it's not a restaurant. Eating place? Does it sell food? Is there a menu? Does he pay the thingy for its services? Is he connected with the indoor place? | ||

Is it a works canteen? Does he suffer any physical ill-effects after eating there? Does he eat there on every single visit? Do his visits bring back painful memories? Is he performing some sort of regression therapy? Would we call him a masochist in the psychological sense, or just in a slang sense (eg. I am attempting a Bentarm/Woubit/BeccaAnn puzzle so I must love pain)? Is he a sexual fetishist? Does he have a toothache? Is he paid by the people who serve him the food? Is he a chef? A waiter? A critic? Does he visit incognito? | ||

Hmmm. So when he is in the building, does he feel any psychological pain? Discomfort? Sorrow? Regret? Boredom? Fatigue? Does he pay the same price for his food as everyone else? Random (and almost certainly wrong) brainwave: is he Guy de Maupassant? [The story goes that he hated the Eiffel Tower, so he dined there as often as possible, as it was the only location from which he could not see the Eiffel Tower.] | ||

When someone commented on how much he must love the place to go there so often, he replied (words to the effect of), "Love it?

Aaaaah, nice one. I feel guilty now. It just came to me in passing. If I'd known it was the right answer, I could have played along with some oblique questions about umbrellas, etc. Great idea for a puzzle, though. |
