Do you notice how cold it is in here when you are eating and dining?

Yes i have and i dont understand why it has to be that cold i always long sleeves because if dont i get so cold i cant eat,and my food gets cold you have made a really good post.

I have noticed this trend a lot and it drives me crazy lol. I can see why they might have the air on in the kitchen with all the hot ovens and such, but it sure takes the pleasure out of dining for me...I'd rather stay home than have to put up with that. Last time I went in the summer I took along a sweater and a ladies suit jacket and I was still cold. I don't mind it if I'm just going to go in and pick up a to-go order, but gee, to sit there for an hour for a meal, no way! I don't understand why they think it must be so cold, it's ridiculous to assume that it would be comfortable at that low temperature for all of their customers.

Especially in an ice cream shop, oh wait, its supposed to be cold in there. I'm usually hot and I order tons to drink, I think they like it that way.

They do this on purpose. My husband works in fast food and they will keep the place a little too cold so people wont want to hang out for too long. Sounds kinda mean but its worse when they have to kick you out lol.

Yes, I have been in restaurants like that. I figure it's just me though, because I am cold a lot. Another factor may be the staff setting the temperature. If they are running around it may feel warmer to them than to us just sitting casually. If I don't have a heavy shirt on I usually end up putting my jacket on and eating in a hurry to get out of there.

It's usually too warm for me but my mom takes a sweater with her. I hate being too hot when I'm eating but being too cold is just as bad!

Yes I have, and it doesn't seem to matter which restaurants you may be in. While in the hot of summer it does feel good, there are times in the spring and fall that it is quite cool.

oh yes, and i hate it when that happens.

So I usually bring a sweater with me otherwise I cannot be comfortable.

This happens alot in the summer, where I have on shorts, etc and I enter a restaurant and it is so cold that I am shivering.

ya, in some restaurants there is much cold that we can sit there at ease and cant enjoy the food
it happened with me many times
some times it happens in my office also
that time i switch off the AC
because in cold i can not work properely

sweety

Hi cream97! Whenever that happens to us, we always ask to be transferred to another table or have the air conditioning be turned lower. Or if that wouldn't be possible, I don't think i can enjoy my meal either.
Take Care and God Bless!
