First off I must STRESS, I’m not talking about people that are on business travel. I understand people on business doing it. I’m talking about people that are close to home & decide to go to a restaurant alone.
I just don’t understand the following steps one goes thru when eating alone:
- decides to forego the food in their home (if no food it would make sense to go to a grocery store)
- actually gets in vehicle and drives to restaurant
- asks to be seated for ONE
Now as your seated, what the hell do you do when as you wait for the meal?
Then the meal is served and you simply eat it… What is the point?
To me, going out to a restaurant is a chance to talk with someone & enjoy intelligent conversation over a meal. Going alone, you are just fulfilling the act of eating. Sounds like something a caveman would do.
Not to mention, there are no booths for one or tables set for one.
Someone please explain?
