The Federal Communications Commission is charged with enforcing jamming laws. However, the agency has not yet prosecuted anyone for cell-phone jamming. Under the U.S. rules, fines for a first offense ca*n range as high as $11,000 for each violation or imprisonment for up to one year, and the device used may also be seized and forfeited to the government.
I mean really. How can a person POSSIBLY think something like this is acceptable? What next, cutting the headphone cords on someone's MP3 player? Putting sugar in their gas tank? Pouring water onto someone's laptop's keyboard because, well, "I swear people and their computers are so ridiculous?"
Who died and appointed these people the cell phone police?
I can't believe all the people are bashing this idea. Oh wait, I can. I'm betting the people bashing it are the same ones who have their eyes glued to their phones the entire time they are supposedly eating out with their "family."
This.
My wife & I don't bring our phones to the table when we eat we leave them in the bedroom & we don't answer them if they ring same with the landline. I've seen a lot of families that will go out to eat & every one of them is on their phone & no one is talking. Unless it's to show them something on Facebook that they think is cute or funny.

And so what if they do? How is it anyone's business other than their own?

It's fine if whatever is on your phone is more important then spending time with your family. Don't blame anyone when your kids don't talk to you because you caved & bought them a new Iphone.

The little snowflakes need their cell phones. If you don't allow them to have their cell phones there will be rioting in the streets. Cell phones are not a privilege. They are what is required for anybody, including adolescents.

Not really but we live in a society, you know it takes a village. People apparently care about the welfare of others. There are promotions and intrusions into many individual and personal family behaviors, for instance obesity. Is it anyone's business if your overweight and ordering two quarter pounders, large fries and a chocolate shake, if you smoking, if you smoke in the vicinity of your children, if you drink, if you heaven forbid leave your pre-teen alone for 30 minutes, if you have an abortion, carry Obama approved health care or get an effing flu shot.
Is it anyone's business. Perhaps not but society still feels the need to promote awareness regarding things that society feels is important to the general welfare of society.
It's a fast-food restaurant. If I'm having anything that qualifies as a "family dinner" at one of those places, please just shoot me. I don't have a problem with their little incentive program, but come on - no one goes to Chik-Fil-A to sit down for quality time with the family. You do that at home or at a quiet, local restaurant. When my mother took me to fast-food places as a kid, it was because we were in a hurry between activities or errands - we didn't have cellphones back then, but we'd have been on them, for sure, if we did. Half the time I'd be doing homework or reading a book.
We had plenty of family dinners at home with my dad and dinners out at sit-down restaurants (some very low-cost).
Hey, Chik-Fil-A can do what it wants, but it just seems kind of pretentious to be nudging people towards a preferred value set when they may just be juggling 100 things and needing to feed the kids on the go in between. And then what happens when the kids see the free ice cream going to other families but not theirs? And suddenly Mom feels pressured to buy her kids ice cream....
If they want to do good, why not, I dunno, stop serving giant milkshakes and foods laden with fat, sodium and sugar?
I could see a sit-down restaurant with actual waitstaff doing this, but when a fast-food place does it, it just seems silly.
Lol at all the uptight people proclaiming Chik fil A is at fault for something....
Ya'll should go whine about it to each other somewhere else on your phones,
while the rest of us enjoy the free ice cream
And the diabetes!
