Reply #65: Sports bars I can understand having a TV. [View All]

But for everything else, it's really annoying, like you said. A local Mexican restaurant that I USED to go to, put in TVs, and now the atmosphere is ruined, for me. I guess most people are just used to having TV in the background of their lives, especially when they're eating, that it's a positive for them. A sweet pacifier, delivering a steady, familiar, calming noise.
