Taco de aire

La acción de ofrecer una respuesta puramente performativa ante una demanda imposible de cumplir. Se utiliza para satisfacer la necesidad emocional de un cliente o individuo de ser escuchado y atendido, sin generar un resultado tangible o solución real.
El término deriva de la gastronomía popular mexicana, donde un "taco de aire" es una tortilla frita decorada por fuera con lechuga, crema y salsa, que da la apariencia de ser un taco completo pero está vacío por dentro. En el servicio al cliente (hospitalidad) y las relaciones interpersonales, el "relleno" es la solución que falta, mientras que los "adornos" son la cortesía, la fantasía sobre la gestión de una solicitud a sabiendas infructuosa y la escucha activa, provocando la sensación calida de un servicio proactivo y empatico, contrario a la frío e indeferente "No" rotundo.
— "El huésped quería una cena romántica para hoy mismo pero todo está lleno desde hace un mes." — "¿Y qué hiciste? ¿Explotaron en ira? " — "Le di un taco de aire: le tomé los datos, le dije que hablaría con el chef y que lo pondría como prioridad en la lista de espera. Se fue feliz sintiéndose VIP, aunque sé que no hay mesa."
