If you were at a good restaurant, and another customer complains aloud that the menu is expensive….?
Posted on September 29th, 2009 by admin
… would this interfere/bother your dining experience? Or would it not matter at all?
Yes it would bother me.
Most reasonable people who choose to dine at a good restaurant have a rough idea of the prices and can either accept them, or dine somewhere else.
I would be very disturbed if another patron of the restaurant was complaining about the expense of the meal. It shows poor manners and is disruptive to both the restaurant’s staff and other customers’ quiet enjoyment of the experience.
It seems to me that it is those who can afford it the most are the ones who complain the loudest about prices. To them I say: "Go eat at MacDonald’s".

No, it doesn’t matter at all. Just ignore him/her — their bad manners is their problem.

It wouldn’t bother me at all. That person is the cheapo or poor person who decided to visit that restaurant in the first place.

It would bother me. The whole experience would be ruined. I do not want to hear tantrums in a four star restaurant, whether it is a 2 year old toddler or a two year old stuck in an adult’s body.

I don’t think it’s bad manners at all.
Just because it’s a 4 star restaurant does NOT give the business the right to be taking a person’s entire savings for one damn (excuse my language.) meal ESPECIALLY when they tend to downsize the portions in those types of places WAY more than they should and charge 100X’s more for it. When large groups of people complain it usually get the business thinking and they eventually do things to make customers happier.
If no one ever voiced their opinion…nothing would ever change or get done.

It depends on how long the complaining is going on, how loud and obnoxious the person is, and how much attention they are trying to bring to themselves..
If it was the extreme of these, then yes, it would bother me, but just a few seconds of annoyance, I would get over it pretty quickly.

next time you will go to a restaurant make sure that you already knew their prizes so any rumors from other people wont make you rattle

I would find it tacky but saying it would "interfere with my dining experience" is probably an overstatement. I mean if they were going on and on about it that would be different. It’s always awkward when someone is boorish.

Wouldn’t bother me, I’d be surprised that they stayed, however, why not leave?
