It depends what establishment you go to
>college bars are always loud and noisy
>an Applebee’s or other generic family restaurant chain can be noisy
>sports bars are super loud
>traditional restaurants can be quiet
>fast food can be loud or noisy
Ultimately, it depends on who is in the building. shitty parents and their loud babies/kids are the worst.

Usually for situations where I don't want to cook, or it's impractical do. Either dates or business meetings.

>>retarded?
No.

>>expensive shitty food?
Well, it's expensive, sure, but unless we're talking dates It's not my money that's being spend. Shitty? Hell no. I don't go to shitty places. Subhumans? I don't give a shit if the chef smokes crack so long as his dishes taste good.

The noise should be drowned out by the conversation at your table, but I'll assume you're dining alone, so talking to yourself isn't advised. Get takeaway like a normal lonely-guy.

Restaurants play really loud music because if it's annoying to talk to someone since you have to keep shouting, you'll drink more and spend more money. It also makes you leave quicker after you've finished drinking/eating so you aren't taking up a table without spending more money.

It's pretty shit. I've just started walking out of restaurants if they're that loud.

The prices were already shit, but after giving them a third chance at a separate location I never went back. I walked up to the door, heard Aerosmith being blasted at full volume and did a 360 and walked away to a pizza place in the same shopping strip.

It's really common in my country, and the volume gets louder as the night continues until you can't talk to eachother sitting at a table at a sitdown bar unless you go out to smoke, which unfortunately means you can't bring your drink outside the premises due to borked laws, so either you stand around like a bunch of faggots outside looking at your one friend that actually smokes or you sit in deafening silence without being able to talk.

people have a horrible sense of their surroundings and an understanding about how sound works. it's like when a person whispers and thinks they're being quiet but is just talking lowly instead, rather than speaking under their breath.

I want to say it's a problem with loud music and television, maybe a lacking of various social interaction scenarios for larger numbers of people today to compare and adapt. Don't even get me started on how everyone wants to talk over everyone else they hear around them, as if that's the correct manner in which you get the other person you're speaking to to hear you, as if it's a goddamn classroom in K-12 when the teacher tells you to get into groups. Also, drugs.
