Your at the restaurant eating already like into the entree and loud stinky rude people get sat right next to you?
I’ll tell ya what *we* did. For our parents’ 59th anniversary dinner, my sister and I took them to O’Charleys. There was a section of the restaurant where they had placed a group of probably 20 people. If you’ve been to O’Charley’s, you know there is a section divider with several "open windows" built into the dividers. The group of people weren’t boisterous, they were freakin’ LOUD - talking and laughing as if they were at a bar, trying to talk over loud music.
My dad was very put out, and I asked the waitress if she could either move US or ask the other party to quiet down. She looked at me like she didn’t hear me correctly. I told her the group was truly distracting and annoying. Still, got a look like ,,,, uh, well ,,,, um ,,,,
I asked her if she could bring a manager over, since she didn’t seem able to put 2+2 together. Someone else came over a few minutes later, we asked her the same thing, she said she would talk to a manager (again, as if we were being overly sensitive to the other restaurant patrons).
In the next few minutes, the loud, obnoxious group began receiving their food, which thankfully engaged their mouths in something other than talking ungodly so loud. By the time a manager came by, they were pretty much down to a normal noise level, and my dad had calmed down. But my sister and I did make a point of telling the manager how loud the group had been, and that it was my folks’ 59th anniversary. All was well from then on. I dont’ remember if they comped us anything, seems like they offered us a choice of dessert for their anniversary.
After my sister got back home, she contacted the O’Charley’s corporate office and explained what had happened. They did send her meal tickets for my folks (something like $40 worth).
I’m not one to normally ask anyone to lower their voices in a restaurant, but this was above and beyond ANYTHING I had ever been through. And for the record, the people at the table behind us told us that the obnoxious group had been that loud for awhile before we had sat down. I can’t believe *they* didn’t say something, because we could tell they were not happy about the noise.
if the restaurant cared they would kick the noisy people out, if they don’t you need to go to a better restaurant
