When you go to a restaurant do you ever read the newspaper?

Answer 1

Yes, quite often regardless of the restaurant (I mean by that even if it's a "fancy" one) however I've got my own newspaper with me (not the restaurant's)

Answer 2

I will read the newspaper if I am sitting alone at the lunch counter, but not if I am sitting at a table or with company.

Taking your question in another sense, I often read the newspaper before going to a restaurant. I like to see the food reviews when I am considering trying a new place. I like to see the health inspection reports in case one of my old favorites has a sanitation problem.

Answer 3

Never. I'll sometimes peruse the coffee table books at a coffee shop, but in a restaurant, I want the company of the people I'm with.

Answer 4

if it's more like a fast food place (a little more upscale than say BKs or Mickey-D's....) then i read the newspaper when i'm waiting for someone until they get there. If it's a fancy place, then of course not. ;)

Answer 5

sure as long as it is not a fancy restaurant. but if I go to breakfast I almost always take a paper with me.

Answer 6

If I'm by myself and have nothing else to read...sure. I usually carry a book for that reason. But I don't read if I have someone with me.

Answer 7

If it's that kind of a restaurant, then yes.

Answer 8

depends on the restaurant, McDonald's or fast food types, yes, fine dining or, casual type, no,

Answer 9

Yes, especially when alone. I would not at a fine dining establishment

Answer 10

Yes, only if I am alone and usually while having coffee/breakfast.
