Re: Restuarants Requesting People Turn Off Their Cell Phones.
[ QUOTE ]
However, in fast food or casual places a policy like this is dumb. In Seattle, Red Mill burgers has this policy, despite the fact that they cater to and thrive on families with loud muddy kids, etc. The cell phone policy is just borne out of a hate of phones and them trying to foist their ideas on other people, and for that I dislike it.

They are not trying to foist their ideas on other people, they are trying to run a business and cater to their customers. There are quite a few places like this in LA and they are great. If you don 't have the courtesy to get off the phone when the waitress is there to take your order or when you are at the counter then you don't get service. And I would rather listen to some 3 year cry during my meal(because he doesn't know any better) than listen to someone have an inane conversation at ridiculous decibels.
