I'm pretty much the same.

Have any of you ever considered just politely respecting the wishes of the restaurant and not vaping while you're there? Not everything has to be a power struggle. I don't vape inside places all the time. It's not that hard. I just put the vape in my pocket, and don't take it back out again. Easy peasy. Often, I don't do it even without being asked to stop. Look at me, not vaping right now as I use both hands to type this message! In my own home, even! The other day I went to the grocery store, and I didn't vape in there, too. They didn't even ask me not to, I just didn't do it! Hell, one time, I was even outside and didn't vape for a couple minutes! Imagine that! Weird, right?

Heh... I'm pretty much the same, though I've done a few stealth vapes from time to time -- I don't make a habit of it, mainly because I absolutely abhor getting into urination contests with uptight puritans. I doubt my vapor would harm anyone, but uptight puritans give me a HUGE pain in my I'd-love-to-smack-that-prissy-self-righteous-look-right-off-your-face region.

I like it that it's always about "the comfort of others". How about mine....A local grocery store in my area now has stickers on their front doors that state "no smoking, e-cigs, electronic cigarettes, and vaping allowed in the store for the comfort of other customers". I guess they covered all the bases on that



Ya then go in and order and then start to vape and when they say the sign says no E-cigs allowed, politely say this is not an e-cig it is a PV and the sign does not specify no vaping. Then when they tell you that you can't vape, gather your things and say well if I knew that I would never have come in and leave without paying LOL!

So why would everyone stop going to a business because they don't want people vaping inside a restaurant? I don't understand that logic one bit. I never go to any business or establishment and just assume it's cool that I vape there... It's a restaurant can't you just wait one hour until your done and go outside? It's spiteful for no reason. I vape constantly but I don't find it necessary to while I'm eating food or inside a business, I can just wait the small amount of time and enjoy it where I want to without worrying about uppity people who don't understand what vapor is, but at the same time I don't expect anyone to be ok with a restaurant being clouded up by vapers.... The people who just walk into places and vape it out are the problem.

I had made a pithy reply to Reign, in general agreement, but when I hit "post," the brief downtime of the server ate it, so I'm just going to assume that I didn't need to post that anyway.Except maybe the last line -- "I just wish restaurants would post 'no perfume allowed' signs."

Now that I can get onboard with, especially the $5.99 a bottle stuff applied with a paint sprayer and mixed with cigarette smoke.
If I walk into a restaurant and I smell perfume instead of food, I turn around and walk out. Iron-clad policy. And if we're already sitting down, but anyone sitting near me is doused in perfume, I get up and leave, right up until the moment the food arrives. The smell of the food right in front of you can often drown it out, but if it doesn't, I just eat a little and ask for a "doggie bag" so I can get the heck outta there and BREATHE.

"I just wish restaurants would post 'no perfume allowed' signs."
I'll second that and add another.
"If you're sick go home! We don't want your germs in here!".

I'll add my pet peeve and would definitely give this restaurant a ton of business "No screaming babies allowed".![]()
Or "banging" babies. When our son was about 15 months old, he grew fond of banging the hell out of those metal high-chair trays; we had to stop going out to eat till he was 2 when we moved back down here among my family, where we had some handy babysitters.Ah, the bliss of a night out together, minus baby....
But knowing baby was being coddled and cared for with the greatest tenderness. Truly bliss.
