Convenient, yes, but I hate those things so much that I avoid eating at restaurants that use them.

Idk what it is about them, but I'm with you

For me, it's having a screen at the table that I find objectionable.

> how often were you looking at your phone during that meal?

Never. I also consider it extremely rude when people I'm dining with do this. It's even more irritating than those horrible table kiosks.

Fortunately, at least with my friends, that's not a thing that really happens much. Phones stay in pockets where they belong, generally speaking.
