I don’t get it… honestly. WHY do most restaurants/bars play that LOUD canned-in music? Does anyone go there to listen to the (not “live”) tunes? I think NOT! People go there to eat (especially on wing night) and chat. The hubbub of voices is loud enough when the bar is packed, so why add the noise of music NO-ONE is listening to?? It’s not like anyone is going to get up and dance (could happen, though I suspect it isn’t the norm). I honestly want to know… is there a purpose? Does it make people drink more? There MUST be a reason, but I’m oblivious to what it could be. Any ideas?

staff listen to it between turns spitting on your food.
what’s that? extra gravy?

HHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORK
Ever watch “waiting “? haha brought back thoughts with your post ZZZ
if the music wasn’t there you’d be bitching about the lack of entertainment at food establishments and being able to hear the people next to you chew their food. Yuck!
You just can’t win when everybody’s a critic. Eat at home if you like your peace and quiet so much. I’ll bet they do take-out.
you play pink noise so the “couples” dining that don’t have a singlr fucking thing in common don’t have to go through an hour and half of uncomfortable silence and never come back to your establishment!
You hate live music??? You have no soul…
Fizz…what if it’s David Hasselhof live?
are you referring to me? fuck no i love live music; i basically spent all my disposable income from 78 – 90 on live music drugs and booze; i probably saw 300 live shows; man if i had some of that dough back…oh well i had fun
because it’s cheaper than live entertainment, and the quicker you eat to get out, the more people they get in to suck money out of, simple math.
