While the explanations proffered by the business manager of Happy Pancake House restaurants may sound reasonable, a closer review shed light on some other possible, even contradictary, explanations.
To begin with, the manager asserts that most customers are happy with the change, citing that the restaurant only received complaints from 2 percent of customers. It is unclear, however, whether the number of customers has changed. In this case, an alternative explanation is that quite a large proportation of customers dislike margarine, so they simply switched to other restaurants selling similar products. Therefore, it is likely that the change from butter to margarine has considerably affected customers.
Additionally, being unable to distinguish butter for margarine or using the word "butter" to refer to either butter or margarine, the customers may not complain when they are buying margarine at the restaurant. But without concrete evidence, this does not reliably account for customer's behavior. For instance, we can not rule out the possibility that customers use the term "butter" because they are used to doing so, and they are clearly aware of the change in the restaurant, so they think using "butter" will not cause confusion. It is also probable that many customers are able to tell butter from margarine, but there is no need to be that clear, for both customers and servers know what they refer to. If the two are both available at the restaurant, some customers might be more precise.
Last but not least, there might be few customers visiting the restaurant who really want to buy butter. When offered with margarine, they tend to think that the two are interchangable, and it is laborious to find another store offering butter, so they take margarine without expressing any dissatisfaction. If this were the case, the explanation of the manager just would not stand.
In sum, the business manager\'s explanations on people\'s reaction to margarine at Happy Pancake House restaurant is not totally impossible, but many different explanations can be given based on the facts in the memorandum. We cannot tell which reflects the fact until further information is available.
