NoCellPhone Section Story Link
some people are loud all the time and don't need a cell phone as an excuse... i have asked on several occasions for the "No Screaming Children" section. i'm still waiting on official recognition for that one. i applaud parents and understand how difficult it is. i'm glad that they're able to continue their public lives with kids in tow. but if you can't keep the child quiet, it has no business being in a quiet restaurant. parents: if you knew a restaurant had a room where you could go and not be constantly having to ' shush' a fussy child, or even a happy, gregarious but LOUD child - wouldn't you use it ? |

I can't count how many times my wife and I have gone to dinner and we are among the first couples to be seated in an otherwise empty restaurant. Despite 30 other empty tables the hostess will seat a family with screaming kids right next to us. We quickly get up and relocate to the other side of the restaurant and when the waiter comes over we tell them seating a family with screaming kids next to us when almost all other tables were available was rude and inconsiderate to us-the paying customer.
As for cell phones, I am with you guys, I politely ask them to take their call outside. If they do not comply, I go speak with mgmt. and ask them to resolve the issue. Completely self-centered asshats who think everyone else will be tickled to hear them bitch and moan on their phone. If I had a portable jammer I would carry it with me. We stopped going to the movies as a result of the same type of people who insist on talking, answering their phone, texting, etc. We have a terrific home theatre system and watch movies at home now. I generally have little use for people anymore. Sad to say but society is going down hill fast. |
