I mean, if that’s how you and your friends want to hang. I don’t like that experience and choose to go to restaurants with people I’d like to eat with and talk to in person. For me, pulling out the phone at dinner is rude. Whatever it is can wait the until after dinner.
- vmception 5y agoIt's happened before. Its not usually relevant when we only showed up to eat. Its usually relevant after a days worth of activities with media that was meant to be shared, and then the day eventually included eating. The only point is that you don't know what others are actually doing and it doesn't matter what the explanation is. Even amongst this crowd, disengaging with someone at dinner is rude. The device used to disengage has little to do with that.
- jbluepolarbear 5y agoI’m saying I don’t care what others are doing. If the restaurant wants people on their phones I’ll go somewhere else. If there’s a party that chooses to be on their phones that’s fine. I just won’t be using my phone or eating on the company of others on their phone.
- PretzelPirate 5y agoIt’s only rude if it isn’t expected. If reading the menu requires a phone, having your phone out is expected and not rude. If needing to take out your phone at the beginning of dinner is enough to distract your friends throughout the rest of the meal, perhaps there are larger problems than how you order food. When I eat with people we use our phones to order and then put them away when they’re no longer necessary. It doesn’t change the dining experience at all and people still talk to each other.
