Too loud is too loud.

Post Reply New Topic

I have a sensitivity to loud noise as a lot of us do. So when I go to a restaurant and the music is deafeningly loud I ask the waitress to please turn the music down by half. She says "Well the music is set at a certain level for everyone's enjoyment. I'm sorry but we can't turn the music down"

I don't mind bringing up that fact but feel I shouldn't have to pull the disability card.

There's a reason why restaurants play loud music.
It's because it makes people eat faster
so they get up from their seats quicker,
leave the restaurant,
and make room for a new batch of customers ...
that way, they can have more customers each day.
it's all about making money.
I read that in some article, anyway.
Pretty sad, huh?
