"Changing how we think about noise in restaurants isn’t the kind of cultural shift that happens overnight. [But] many chefs and restaurant owners are becoming more aware of the obstacles that might stand between diners and a great meal": bonappetit.com/story/restaur… #keeplistening

Interacting with waitstaff and fellow diners in a restaurant can be isolating and anxiety-inducing for hard-of-hearing diners. Some restaurants are finding ways to be more welcoming.

I explored the psychology behind Bay Area restaurants' loud, unhinged Spotify playlists – and discovered that businesses use a wide variety of hostile methods to wring more money out of consumers. sfgate.com/food/article/bay-…

Bay Area restaurants are all secretly telling us to 'get the hell out'

San Francisco and Oakland restaurants intentionally create a hostile atmosphere.

The world is freaking noisy. Every restaurant etc BLASTS music. I even went to the creek to get away and people had music on. What's the point of going to nature and creating noise pollution? I use @SoundPrintapp to find quiet places, and let businesses know how egregious it is.
