A restaurant in South Bengaluru has become the center of discussion after enforcing a new rule: No debates on politics or real estate while dining. A sign inside the establishment states, “This space is meant for dining only, not for discussions on real estate or politics. Kindly cooperate.” A visitor clicked a picture of the notice and posted it online, igniting a flurry of reactions.
While some diners support the restriction, saying it helps maintain a calm environment, others feel it interferes with personal freedom. Critics argue that customers should be free to converse about any subject as long as they are paying for their meal. However, many locals recall seeing similar signs in Bengaluru cafes where lengthy, loud discussions disrupt the ambiance.
The focus on politics and real estate isn’t random. These topics frequently spark passionate debates, leading to loud exchanges that dominate the space. By discouraging such conversations, the restaurant aims to create a relaxed setting for all guests.
This move has triggered discussions on social etiquette in public spaces. While some believe dining establishments should set boundaries to preserve a peaceful experience, others feel such rules are unnecessary.
As Bengaluru’s café culture evolves, will more eateries adopt similar measures, or will resistance from patrons force a rethink? Only time will tell.
