I have to agree with Nichola's post, in the past we've avoided those places that repeatedly hawk their food, restaurant or bar. Many times we would have stopped to read their menus and maybe give it a try if just left alone. It's very uncomfortable and a bit like emotional blackmail. It's daunting looking along the line of waiting predators when you're setting out to eat. Nobody wants to hurt their feelings but certainly they must loose out on many potential customers. I find it's been much better in the last couple of years.
