As soon as they sat down, they were all on their phones. Not a word of conversation with each other. They ordered & the whole meal was silent. Then they paid and left.
It was one of the weirdest things I've ever seen. Like "Invasion of the Body Snatchers."
My niece uses her devices all the time, but she has the uncanny ability to do whatever on her pad or phone, and carry on a conversation at the same time.
They didn't even make a Spreadsheet to figure out EXACTLY what each of them must contribute to the total Bill ?!
Heh
I grew up in a small town
Back in the day, I was in a Big City
Across the street, a couple strolled holding hands. Weird, they both had the latest Sony Walkman’s, listening to their own music, not conversing....
Sometimes when my frau and I go out for dinner we will be on our phones, reading a book or catching up. Depends on what we were doing before. If we were walking or doing chores around the house together we were talking then and now are just checking in. OTOH if we have been doing separate things all day we will talk over dinner.
Be thankful they were quiet.
To Mr. Grumpy Public Service Guy, do your job and take some pride in doing it well. If the restroom line is long, then tell the owner to put in more stalls. When there is a sign in the restroom for employees to wash their hands, then your hands carrying drinks are just as gross as any customers’ phones. How many times are you on your phone between orders and do you bother cleaning it or your hands between texting your bf? I’d prefer you don’t drip you nasty gross germy sweat into my glass. The health inspector will shut you down for that.
If you leave the front door unlocked, it is your own fault when potential customers enter. Stop whining if you haven’t taken 5 minutes to make a sign for the dog section.
I do look you in the eye, especially when you’re coming onto my husband. Take a clue, he doesn’t swing that way if I’m sitting with him. Back off, freak.
What a big drama queen. I had to quit mid whine fest with this guy. He needs another job. The owner should send him out into traffic for losing customers.
