These 'factory look' restaurants ,with high ceilings with all the pipes and ducts exposed, can fuck right off. Then they pump in music so everyone has to shout, adding to the 'ambiance'. That shit is the laugh track of social interaction.
It’s even crazier that office spaces are designed like that. And then managers are suprised that everyone wears headphones in the office.
while saying you have to be in the office because of the interaction
Every minute they save by walking over to your desk for a quick question is lost 10x over by the constant distraction of an open office plan.
In one place I worked, the ambient sound was so loud that not only did everyone wear headphones, but the best way to chat with someone who was 3-4 desks away was to type to them while continuing to listen to whatever you had on your headphones. Of course, the place was so absurdly loud because the management insisted on an open office plan with everyone in the office so that we'd more easily be able to chat informally to foster new ideas.
Finally someone who agrees. Plus they charge so much for some tiny burger. Get a ceiling grid with those acoustic panels using the burger profit. The polished concrete floor never helps too.
I went to a club that boomers go to the other day. Carpet, clean toilets, soft lighting, and meals that cost less because their profit comes from poker machines. Hell yeah brutha
The burger is also on a wood chopping board. We want plates!
We have supper clubs here, which are apparently highly regional.. as in I never saw one when I was more than a few hours out of my region, and that was several years of looking. Meanwhile nearly every town here has at least one.
It’s mostly boomers, tho you’ll find considerable millennial representation these days as well (not typically much younger people). A nice low ceiling, dim light, carpeted place that expects you to sit for a drink or two and socialize before food, take your order long before you are seated at your table sort of thing. Slow, quieter, intimate, and so popular they are gathering spots for old people. Also the food is usually killer, and/or stuff you can’t get elsewhere, for decent small town prices. No poker machines tho.
Ah sounds better than a dive bar!
Oh, you don't need the music to need to shout. The high ceiling achieves that by itself. Echo, space to fill, or something. Not to knowledgeable about acoustics.
I really wish they made restaurants with low ceilings. You take the tallest people who are likely to come, you add maybe 30 cm, and that's more than high enough, right? No, they've gotta have ceilings so high they could genuinely fit two floors in the one they have. It's a waste of space, too.
Indeed. It is like drinking in a sweatshop.
Absolutely. When I go to a bar or restaurant, I prefer a place that doesn't look like a co-working space. Also, when I see anyone using a laptop in there, I'm out.
