> I totally support the phone-free bar and restaurant experience

If you then expect an exemption because your phone use is different then I challenge that you don’t actually support the experience.

If you want to read news in a phone-free environment: bring a newspaper, a kindle, etc.

What experience are you expecting in a phone-free breakfast joint if you are there by yourself? Interupting other patrons meals to randomly talk to them? That sounds kind of like hell.

Boredom and being alone with your thoughts is not, as popularly believed, fatal.

[bawolff]

Of course not, but its also not an exclusive experience you can only get at resturants.

And quite frankly noisey busy resturants are a subpar place to have that sort of experience. Most people who want to do that sort of thing go to a park or somewhere quiet with nature.

Then don’t go. No idea what the issue is, here.
