Eat a good meal, and make some money while doing it

http://www.studentnewsdaily.com/blog/human-interest-news-stories/restaurants-offer-incentives-for-diners-to-drop-their-devices/ This article named "Restaurants Offer Incentives for Diners to Drop Their Devices" offers a new take on going out to eat. It speaks of restaurants from places like New Jersey, Texas, and Canada who are all giving out incentives for those eating at their restaurants to use "good table manners" to praying before a meal and even to merely not use their phones during the duration of the meals. These incentives range from 5% off the receipt to free desserts.

I think that this is an awesome idea for more restaurants to use. I for one am constantly on my phone at restaurants and i know that most people are just like me. Offering incentives for it makes it so that we have a reason to engage in conversations with those at our tables. I would probably go to a restaurant and abide by those rules to get a small amount of money off so i am sure many others would as well.

This article and the ideas that it speaks of affect the businesses because although they must give out some incentives, they are also gaining business from more patrons at their restaurants. It affects the patrons also because they are spending more money going out to meals more, but they are also getting money off their meals and things like free desserts just for following some rules.
