I got my hearing professionally checked today and all is normal. But I have difficulty hearing people I am dining with, talking in restaurants. Is it me, or is the music just too damn loud?!

You guys don’t like the terrible cover band that comes and blasts their rockin tune?

Talking customers take longer to gtfo their tables so they can stick someone else in .

They blast loud because if you start talking with your friends and eat slowly and spend a lot of time their eating little.

It’s not you. If I’m at a RESTAURANT and can’t hear my friends, I leave. I won’t spend money at a place I have to yell to be heard (unless there’s a band I specifically want to see or I’m at a bar, but even bars have limits).

Often because the staff is bored silly and want music to get through their minimum wage shift.

They’ve said restaurants though, not fast food joints.

Correct. A lot of restaurants pay staff that can get tips minimum wage, since they can make $100+ of extra income during the shift.

Some backward countries even have a lower minimum wage for people who can get tips.
