One annoying thing was the overly loud “music” everywhere you sat. It was also blaring in the bathroom. I was just glad to eat & get out of there.

That seems to be the case with all types of restaurants these days. At many restaurants the music is so loud that it drowns out conversation, which is one of the main reasons I used to like to eat at sit-down restaurants. Restaurateurs these days must be catering to millennials who for some reason seem to like noisy eateries.

I think that millennials are simply desensitized to it. It’s all they have ever known.

If I am in a restaurant for a real meal I will politely tell the manager that I want the music turned down so I can converse with my company.

Funny/stupid story: Some years ago we were eating in an Appleby’s and I asked the waitress to have the manager turn the music down. When the manager came over and asked if it was better I said it wasn’t lower at all. He looked surprised. He had gone into the kitchen and told the staff there to turn *their* music down. Which of course we couldn’t hear anyway. I just rolled my eyes.
