Any of guys ever take a laptop into a restaurant?

[Leros]

I've seen people take books or newspapers into a restaurant when they're out alone, usually people traveling. Have you ever seen anybody take a laptop into a restaurant with them?

 

[meltdown75]

i don't go to sit-down restaurants alone

fast food places maybe, like yesterday when i had a loner lunch @ KFC

at least big crunches are my friends :'(

 

[SphinxnihpS]

Is this some sort of parody, or do you live in Rwanda?

Also, what's a resteraunt?

 

[Pheran]

Sure, all the time. I saw several people with laptops at Panera just yesterday.

I took my laptop into a restaurant that I did some work for, but only because I was getting free beer and food.

Did you even bother to proof read your title before hitting post?

I won't hesitate to eat at a sit-down restaurant by myself if I am on business travel. I usually just read the news or digg or something on my iPhone. I'm not there long enough to warrant bringing my laptop in with me.

I Accidentally the internet?

 

[mugs]

Yes, when I'm traveling. I check/write e-mail or browse the web while I'm waiting for my food.

Also, I sit there smugly and soak in all of the jealousy and admiration, because I'm using a Macbook (company-issued, I didn't pay for it!)

daily. I go to restaurants in boston all the time and always pop open my laptop.

 

[nakedfrog]

Netbook, yes.

 

[KeithTalent]

I don't, just because I would rather read and usually take a book, but I don't see a problem with it if you are dining on your won. As long as you're not gaming and raging out loud, disturbing the other patrons.

Hell I frequently take a X200 into a bar. It's teeny tiny and easy to throw down and read web articles while grabbing something to eat and a quick drink or two.

Did it once while traveling for work at the Vancouver Hooters while watching the Patriots play on MNF. Stood out as a non-local and got the attention of one of the waitresses who gave me her number and went out with afterwards.

Good times...

The kitchen timer started going off halfway through my post. I had to post fast to go tend to my lunch.

I use mine to read

 

[SaDiZTiKStyLeZ]

I've contemplated on it several times. But I usually decide not to, I don't want to appear any more anti-social than I am. Since I spend a few hours sitting in a bar, I usually get my drinks in the first hour or 2 then just drink water & sober up my last hour or 2. If anything I take magazines or school books in to read while drinking to catch up when I'm behind.

I've never done it. When I go into a restaurant my intent is to savor, and eat the food and also enjoy the social conditions.

If I'm alone then I eat and finish quicker.

I've seen others do it but they usually look like they are professional or deal with something, probably real time stocks. Not everyone has/can afford mobile broadband I guess.

Would anyone use a laptop without the internet in a restaurant?

I've seen lots of sit-down restaurants with wifi lately. Real restaurants with waiters and bars, not just the fast food places.

I take my laptop with me to Chipotle sometimes so I can look review documents, etc while on lunch.
