Even more than the obvious, practical purpose of being watered and fed, we go to bars and restaurants for the atmosphere. A place could have the finest cuisine and the tastiest beers in the world, but if it doesn't have any soul, any feeling, are you truly going to enjoy the experience?
Probably not. That's why when we do find a joint with a ton of character, we like to celebrate it.

So how to create that elusive atmosphere? With thanks to culinary blog Restaurant Tallent, here are some basic concepts to keep in mind:
Restaurant concepts: The restaurants with concepts attract people. If you have a particular cuisine, then you can design the restaurant with the idea of that country or culture. For example, if the restaurant is Chinese then you can create the restaurant with things that will make the customers feel like they are in China. You can also add a story on how the restaurant was founded and place artwork and pictures of the history of the restaurants.
Cleanliness: Who would prefer anything which is not clean? People can get very cautious when they eat out. If your restaurant is not clean, then there are chances you may never see that customer again. Make sure to change the linen and have clean dishes.

That's how things work in EU, Definitely, in Italy it works this way. Tips are given (not every time, not in all places) in appreciation of an outstanding service, they are not supposed to be the employees' wage.
Lighting: The lighting should not be too bright that it blinds your customers and also not so dim that they are not able to look at what they eat. Again depending on the clients and the situations you must alter the lighting.
Music: Depending on the situation you can choose the genre of music. Music can be very pleasing to hear while eating. You can prefer light jazz or pop music to have a peaceful setting. You can also set your music based on your cuisine.

Menu Design: Many may not think much about the menu card, but the menu card can attract and define the ambiance of the restaurant. Take time to create the menu card in such a way that each meal has a description of what the meal is. You can also add pictures so that the customers will know better about the food they are ordering.
Dishes, silver ware, and linens: Choose your dishes and silverware in such a way that it matches with your restaurant. Always have clean washed linens and make sure that in any situation you do not serve your customers with dirty dishes.
Pretty basic stuff, but very important nonetheless! All that's left to do now is add your own personal touch!

Transsexuals have been using public bathrooms for more than half a century, funny how it wasn't a problem until right wing politicians decided to make it a problem.
I don't think Transsexuals are a new invention. Like Heterosexuals or Homosexuals they exist since humans exist. So they used public bathrooms since pubilc bathrooms exist. At least for 2500 years. Earlier then the romans I don't know if there where public bathrooms.

I worked in an office a years ago that only had two single toilet bathrooms, one for men and one for women—-way too few for the number of employees, as they had just experienced a growth spurt and hired a lot of extra staff. The men’s room was always available, while the ladies’ room was always occupied. Management seemed oblivious to the problem—-those a******s had their own, private bathrooms—-so I finally said f**k it and would boldly walk right into the men’s room. Didn’t give a fat rat’s a*s who saw me, and would defy anyone who said it was illegal, as it was back then. It’s more illegal not have have adequate facilities for the number of staff.
took a straight friend to a gay bar, at some point he was forced to use the ladies room - men's rooms in gay bars are notoriously known for standing room only - he said not only was it like walking into a fashion show, but he'd never been quite so entertained ... far better than the usual piped-in muzak, and queer-eye-for-the-straight-guy style advice on top of it!

Nowadays I don’t understand why even new establishments designate single-person restrooms as being a specific gender. Just make all single-person restrooms available for anyone!
I spent 13 years working in a men's prison. There's nothing in there I haven't seen before. If I've got to pee, I'm going in whichever bathroom I can get in.
And if a man went in the ladies room You would scream bloody murder.

Anyways Thanks for the laugh!
Since I worked in bars and sometimes had to go into the men’s room to empty trash ot put in new toilet paper, what is the difference? I have also used men’s rooms when the ladies rooms have huge lines. I always knock and warn that women are coming in. I’ve never had anyone complain and I first did that over 20 years ago.
Yes it HILARIOUS when grown men can enter a women’s room where young girls are going to the bathroom. Total knee slapper there
sometimes the womens line is just too long. if it has a stall im using it

Yay I'm 7 months sober from being a messed up crazy alcoholic!! :) also these posts were good.
I saw a sign in front of a bar on 5th Ave in NYC. It said, "When you think about it, alcohol is a solution."
As sad as it is, a great number of people have no respect for Donald Trump, he is possibly the worst example of a president in history, many of us remain stunned, that he was elected, I am Canadian, but unfortunately, here we also have people in power, that should not be, it's in the news for all to see !!!
These were very interesting, fun to read of the creativity, Please help me to understand,the big need to use PROFANITY, I do use at times, but do think it's ugly for women to use, I am sure there are some words in the dictionary, that could get your message across, too many young kids with a foul mouth,I don't blame them as they hear it everywhere, at home and the streets, sorry, I don't see the need, just my opinion !!!
Awesome, even though many in the 'middle' didn't load for me, smh.
