Turn the music off!

[greensinestro]

I wonder if she's the type of person that would go to the Hard Rock Cafe..and bitch about the music

I'm sure she is. A place in Palm Beach called Respectables would be out of the question for her. That place really blasts the music.

She was complaining about the Beach Boys?

Screw that, someone should have blasted some Slayer for the old bat.

So complain to the management that the music's been turned off?

And stoop to their level? Wouldn't dream of it.

.... im so with the 'if you don't like the atmosphere..' thing. I would personally would just get it to go if i liked the food but didnt want to sit through a game or soemthing. People who choice to eat in places like that should deal with the enviroment the establishment is offering, and not demand to have it catered to their will. damn SCs

It never occured to me to have the balls people like this have. Whenever I shop at Publix, they're always playing music, which I enjoy while doing this chore. Years ago, it was elevator music, and now they have the decency to play real music. Maybe that's what this lady's issue was. She hates music with lyrics attached and would prefer her old boring music.

Some people complain for the sake of complaining. When I worked for Quizno's we had a stereo (until the offices upstairs complained.) and an older woman came in and while she was eating she asked me "where the music was coming from". I told her, and she asked me to please turn it off.

So I told the corporate guy (we had just opened) and while he did it, even he was annoyed. He started randomlly singing to piss her off.

She was nuts anway. She walked around the restaurant open gaping mouth and kept putting her hands to her mouth like you would do if you were shocked.

Well see, i blame this on spineless management. I would have told the old biddies, no i wasn't gonna turn down the music. it's there for everyone's enjoyment. If you don't wanna hear it either block it out, leave, or turn off your damn hearing aid.

My wife and I ate at Applebee's the other day, and we arrived shortly before the lunch crowds arrived. About ten minutes after we sat down, a foursome of loud elderly women came in, and they were seated at the table next to us. Not five minutes later, one of them complained to the manager that the music playing on the speakers overhead was too loud, demanding she either turn it down, or completely off. The Beach Boys "Surfin' USA" was playing at that moment, and it was not playing to a point where you had to talk over it to be heard. Nonetheless, this manager had to give in to this woman and turn down the music.

Later, I overheard the manager saying that on the previous day, an 81 year old woman (because she stated her age five times to her) demanded she turn the music off because it was bothering her, even though there was a full crowd in there at the moment. Do people like this also demand the other patrons lower their voices when speaking? What do these people do when they eat during a football game? Do they tell the manager to shut the TV off and have everyone else go home?

If you don't like the atmosphere, eat somewhere else!
