Cell Phones at a Restaurant

We have all been out on a Saturday night out and had to deal with someone at the table being on the phone . It really didn't make me mad but it's been a burr under my saddle until last night .

I am not taking credit for the idea ( Saw it on the net awhile back ) But I threw the Idea out there as my future Daughter in law , Two Sons ,Wife and Miss C set down to dinner . Christi Jumped right on the idea and put her phone on the table 1st . My little Miss C (as seen in the picture ) was a little surprised at what she said yes to because she had brought along a leap pad , More electronics .

These are the rules to this Idea . All cell phones and electronics are stacked in the middle of the table , they can be left on if you wish But if you pickup your phone to answer it . You also pickup the tab for the whole table .

Oldest boy said he was going to miss out on important craigslist opportunity's ......

It worked out great . Conversation was had and we were the loudest laughing table in the place ..... I did bring along a camera only device .

None of the Phones had anything on them important enough to buy everyone ones dinner , I might have said something about buying the highest thing on the menu ;)

Thanks Tiny! With all the electronic devices available to us today "Family time" seems to have become a thing of the past.

Good idea. Maybe they should build restaurants with a shield in the walls that prevents any cell phone from getting a signal. Lol.
