Restaurants playing music too loud

I did used to love customers asking us to turn the music down, we even had people asking us to turn it off:rotfl: you're not at your nans house.
If you come into a restaurant that is known for being loud and fun, and you find yourself in a loud restaurant then whose fault is that?

Certainly not the restaurants!

Where I worked the music was set at a level determined by head office as it was a brand standard. It wasn't offensively loud, I could certainly hear perfectly well to take orders so fail to understand why people can't have a normal conversation.

Maybe because they're deaf? I can't have a normal conversation either because I can't filter out noises properly and hearing several noises at once, it's very hard to talk to someone.

So why would you choose to go to a restaurant that is marketed as a loud, fun place?

there are health and safety aspects to having excessive noise in a work place and place where children very young to elderly people have access. background music is just that in the background where it can be heard but not unbearable.


if I had to shout at someone whilst having a meal in a restaurant that's only half a foot across the table, I wouldn't be comfortable and would expect that staff when requested, turn it down to a level where shouting isn't the norm to have to order my meal.


I have also been in a highstreet sports clothing outlet where they regularly blast the music I'd rather not listen to eminem swearing, bass punching my chest because the staff love that type of music that loud and not giving a damn abou the children that are walking around and asking mummy that man on the radio said pu$$y what does that mean?

I'm pretty sure I said I could hear perfectly well people ordering, I never said anyone had to shout?

HUH? where did I say you couldn't, I was answering OP within my post, and also clearing up even though places are marked as family fun and entertainment restaurants they have a duty of care to their customer not to bust ear drums.

Go to a restaurant. If the place is too loud for you, you aint the clientile wanted. Same for shops. Some on here would have a heart attack in a hollister shop.

No there isn't. I've never seen staff in nightclubs wear ear muffs or any sort of ear protection.

With the restaurant aspect you can't say there's a health and safety aspect for old people and children, the loudness of the music will be apparent on entering so no one can say they are unaware of what to expect inside.
