As a customer, I patronize an establishment for a combination of many reasons: the quality of the product, the quality of the staff, the enjoyment I get out of being there, and the quality of the other guests. I'm not an elitist, but I don't like having the ambience of a restaurant ruined by those around me. There's this little thing called etiquette I was taught long ago--and it focuses around respect for the people around you, which reflects on your humility and character. It is disturbing in this day and age to see people who absolutely disregard any sort of common courtesy, manners, or etiquette in public. It bothers me that they could have that little respect for the people around them. And I think about what they're teaching their children about respecting other people's property. Some of us actually value passing on positive character traits to children and find it bothersome that others don't.
