No one wants to go to dinner and be across from the table from someone like this.

Rude.

So I think this is great.

And especially as someone with a phone addiction, I am severely addicted to my phone, but I know to, if I'm out with someone, you know, out to dinner, I'm not touching my phone.

So unless they go to the bathroom, then I'm like, I'm like a drug addict.

I'm taking my phone out.

I'm checking my notifications.

But I think it's rude.

And I think that this is such a wonderful thing to start.

I think it's a it's a cool trend.

And he started doing this in mid-January with just his two restaurants.

And since then, 10,000 coupes.

have been made.

And there are 200 Chick-fil-A locations that are also implementing this kind of phone coop idea where people want to create a a phoneless dining experience.

And he thinks, you know, this guy, Brad Williams, is saying that he hopes that this creates it's not just a trend, but he hopes that people really stick to it and people start to create a no cell phone zone where people

We were going to place the conversation over our phone scrolling.

And I think that that's great.

So maybe this is hard for people, but I think that it's good to train, especially I feel like families take their kids there.

And it's good to show your kids that we shouldn't be on our phones at the table.

And people, I think, just stick iPads in front of their kids now because they take them to a restaurant and they want them to shut up and act right.
