Yesterday I had lunch at a Chick-fil-A. I chose to eat inside, and the dining area was crowded. Regrettably, I once again observed numerous mothers sitting at tables with their young children while on their cells phones.
One mother had 4 children, ages 10 to 4. The entire time they sat at the table she was on her cell phone. She was not watching her children eat, nor even talking with them. I wonder what was so important on her phone.
I have also observed young people at restaurants sitting at tables, each playing with their phones. Often, these people do not talk to each other, they just play with their phones. If they go to a nice restaurant, why do they not talk to each other??? What exactly is on their phones?
About a week ago, I witnessed a young couple out on a date. The man was on his cell phone, his date just sat there. Why go on a date and not talk?? Maybe phones are an addiction?
I think this practice is rude, and very bad manners. And for parents, it is shameful!
