    These ‘factory look’ restaurants ,with high ceilings with all the pipes and ducts exposed, can fuck right off. Then they pump in music so everyone has to shout, adding to the ‘ambiance’. That shit is the laugh track of social interaction.

      Oh, you don’t need the music to need to shout. The high ceiling achieves that by itself. Echo, space to fill, or something. Not to knowledgeable about acoustics.

      I really wish they made restaurants with low ceilings. You take the tallest people who are likely to come, you add maybe 30 cm, and that’s more than high enough, right? No, they’ve gotta have ceilings so high they could genuinely fit two floors in the one they have. It’s a waste of space, too.

      Absolutely. When I go to a bar or restaurant, I prefer a place that doesn’t look like a co-working space. Also, when I see anyone using a laptop in there, I’m out.
