To Flock Somewhere

 

Some people are sheep, and others can be a sheep the next day. Will say everyone can be a sheep at times. If someone does something, you'll want to copy that person as well. If they have an iPhone 20, you'll want that one. If they have a car, you'll want a car. If they want to get hit by a car, maybe you'll have second thoughts.

I bet when McDonalds will open up one day in North Korea, people will flock over there to taste a piece of unhealthy Americano food. Maybe their leader won't allow them to eat there daily, and restrictions will be put into place. In Canada, people are still flocking to the southern part of America even in the pandemic like geese do every year. Others flock to Amazon to find great deals while supporting the rich bald guy who pays zero in taxes.

Flocking has to be a group of people doing the same thing at the same time. Birds have a formation when they flock. When a new game consoles comes out, usually people line-up or flock over there and wait till the door opens.

Let's look at piece of text which talks about people flocking to this restaurant because of its menu.

Since its start, consumers have flocked to The Cheesecake Factory for its massive menu, featuring more than 200 items, including pizza, seafood, steaks, chicken, burgers, pastas, salads, omelettes and, of course, cheesecake

We can see that the word flocked is used as a past participle. This is because it's talking about - up till this point or traditionally called present perfect. I will say The Cheesecake Factory is an interesting restaurant that doesn't just serve cheesecake. It would be like The Oliver Garden just serving people olives.
