One has seen signboards and labels in restaurants with basic instructions like, for instance 'no smoking', 'the area is under CCTV surveillance,' or 'self-service'.
Well, a restaurant in Bengaluru has some quirky order for customers. This restaurant does not want people to indulge in political or real estate discussions while having food.
"This facility is only for Dine-In purpose, NOT FOR REAL ESTATE/ POLITICAL Discussions. Please understand and Cooperate," the signboard put up at a restaurant named Paakashala, in the city.
A picture of the same was posted on social media platform X, by user named Farrago Metiquirke, with the caption, "Clear instructions alright."
The message was written in both Kannada and English. The post has since gone viral with over 40k views and a flurry of comments.
"Weird why does he have to police what people are talking? They are paying for the food they eat no?" a user commented.
Another user wrote, "Real estate uncles can’t go to the parks because Bangalore parks are all closed in the afternoon!"
"Very common sight in Bangalore restaurants," commented a third.
"H9ahaha, yeah these discussions are never ending, and the ones who indulge tend to spend a lot more time than the ones who are there just to eat, ending up occupying the tables for longer duration!" commented a fourth.
"Yes...it's a problem if they occupy for hours without leaving the place for many other customers waiting for the table with kids or elderly people. This shows that Restaurant Management is Requesting to understand the issues. All should co-operate with other customers as well," a fifth commented.
