Re: Restuarants Requesting People Turn Off Their Cell Phones.
[ QUOTE ]
There is no difference between a person talking on the phone and a person talking to someone at their table. Cell phone snobbery is the only reason the former bothers anyone. [/ QUOTE ] Sure there is a difference. The person talking to someone at their table is using a normal voice level.

A large percentage of the population can't hear their phones well / are talking to others that have background noise / don't have a good signal and talk much louder on their cells than they do in person.

Re: Restuarants Requesting People Turn Off Their Cell Phones.
I keep my phone on vibrate all the time, mainly becuase it is in my pants pocket. Id never turn the phone off even if requested, but I also dont yell into my cell phone whne speaking, and I dont talk on the cell during dinner anyway because its rude. The problem I have with this policy is that the only people that are going to heed the request are the people who arent morons with a cell phone in the first place.

Re: Restuarants Requesting People Turn Off Their Cell Phones.
I always read this policy as "turn phone on vibrate and only take emergency calls" because frankly, I'm not missing some important call because of somebody's sensibilities about their dinner atmosphere. This is similar to how I act in a Denny's though.

And in the case I was talking about - cell phone users are NOT the loudest most obnoxious people in the Red Mill. That goes to the kids and their parents.

Otherwise it's God's Bathroom Floor time.
