I was sitting in an outdoor patio cafe for lunch and picked up the cell phone to answer a call. Within 30 seconds, the waitress plopped down a note saying,

“As a courtesy to other diners, please take cell phone calls outside the restaurant. Thank you”

The waitress swung by my table again and I asked her why she wouldn’t allow phone calls in a noisy patio cafe. She said, “we haven’t had one complaint when we request you step outside the cafe to use a cell phone.”

I think the policy is outrageous and inappropriate. Sure, they have the right to command a no cell phone zone, just as much as the boy scouts can kick you out of their private organization if you’re gay.

In 2010, we all can be more compassionate, conscious, respectful of others, after all, that is BEING GREEN.

If any place should be a no phone zone, it’s the bank! That’s where people turn into idiots, practically shouting like the person their talking too is a 95  year old with no hearing aid.

At my gym, they restrict phones around the workout equipment and in the locker rooms. I love that! but now, we have patio cafes at lunchtime banning cell phones, when life is moving at light-speed and we all have so much to get done in less time?

Your thoughts please? Is this B.S or am I hallucinating again?

Is this the new green cell phone revolution aimed to get unconscious, un-green, undeniably rude people out of our air space when we eat out?
