There’s apparently no end to efforts by chain restaurants to come up with thematic concepts to enhance your dining experience. The waitpersons at Texas Roadhouse routinely participate in a dining-room-wide line dance in support of whichever mundane modern country music anthem is blaring from the house speakers at the time.

You probably don’t know: every Texas Roadhouse has a designated Arbiter of Line Dance. This exec, trained according to a demanding regimen normally associated with black ops spycraft and using a precise algorithm, carefully calibrates the overall mood of the diners and staff, customer turnover rate, the music playlists and a thousand other variables that can change in a heartbeat — and ultimately decides the exact optimal moment to call for a ... LINE DANCE!

I’ve come to find these presentations nothing short of majestic, and it made me wonder: what if more organizations had similar “pleasant distractions” to assuage everyday anxieties and routines?

1. DMV — Yes, we HATE driver’s license tests or renewal procedures. And, though it would add even more time to the process, wouldn’t you feel better if, just before the light flashed for customer 207 in the “take a number” set-up — meaning you’re within a few dozen people of approaching the counter — everything is suddenly put on hold. As Ludvig Minkus’ haunting score wafts through the DMV, all clerks and staff shift gears from “sullen automaton” to delicate grace as they perform the Act IV “Tavern Feast” movements from the ballet “Don Quixote.”

2. ER Waiting Room — You’re sitting there, and it can’t get more stressful. No matter what the crisis, the minutes-into-hours anxieties are brutal and heartbreaking. What if you could have a little distraction? Once an hour, some of the on-duty, blood-stained docs and nurses stop by the waiting room and perform a routine from an uplifting musical. Maybe “South Pacific’s” “Wash That Man Right Out of My Hair” or how about “Some Things Are Meant to Be” from “Little Women,” where the two sisters sing together right before the younger one dies of scarlet fever. Okay, maybe not that one.

3. U.S. House of Representatives — You’ve been intensely grilled for hours and are about to break and admit the bribes when, suddenly, all of the Congresspersons leap out of their seats and break into that brisk, kick-happy Cossack dance President Trump and Vladimir Putin taught them. What a treat!
