I get my hair cut at “Barber shop near me”
There’s a dispensary in my area that’s named “Dispensary near me”
food open now
There’s a recreational dispensary in DC in Chinatown called Dispensary Near Me.
I always see “near me” as a suggested search but it seems superfluous?
my guess is that it’s useful to distinguish between wanting the Wikipedia page for the concept of “restaurant” or restaurants actually near you
Who the hell is searching for Wikipedia on Google Maps? Or for a restaurant on normal Google?
I’ll do the latter, kind of. Search using the bar at the top of my browser, then switch to the maps tab.
