Confused

I had lunch this afternoon at a place I enjoy, 'Noodles & Co.', but it is ironic as the establishment is bordering on the overkill style of TCF/Appleby's/Ruby Tuesday's/TGIF, that I absolutely hate. I noticed:

While the menu consists of mostly noodle dishes, the drinks include sodas, beer, and wine, in addition to the specialty bottled 'Jones' sodas.

The dining area, while being subdued in atmosphere, had 'Push It' pumping over the PAs.

The serving staff is overattentive, asking if I needed my drink refilled when I was 10 steps away from the soda fountain.

The cumulative result was somewhat disorienting, but as long as they keep my $5 Pan Fried Japanese noodles, no complaints.
