【No. 0262】Operate a Smartphone While Eating
Sep 6, 2015 10:20
In Japanese restaurant, more and more people have operated a smartphone while eating.
It does not mean to check e-mail or something occasionally.
They put their smartphones on a table, and eat a meal using their right hand, while operating the smartphone using their left hand.
What do you think about this behavior?
I think this is not a good manner.
I think this is rude to a cook, and rude to the other party if they are coming to the restaurant with several persons.
Also, it is not good from a hygiene perspective, and the posture looks like clunky.
If they eat alone at their home, I think it is no problem.
However I want them to stop operating a smartphone while eating in a public restaurant.
