OT>Rande, yesterday afternoon I was South of Sacramento in Davis and stopped by a restaurant to get a bite to eat. I sat at the counter near the entrance. While sitting there in the heat, in walks two older ladies. While they are standing there waiting to be seated they start talking about how hot it was in the restaurant. They asked the Hostess if the AC is broken and are told, "No it's not broken, we are just doing are part to conserve." With that the two ladies turned around and left, I assume in search of an ACed restaurant.

One other point. While I was sitting there reading the menu I happened to notice the cook. He was working over the hot grill in what must have been ridiculously hot kitchen. After watching him for a few minutes dripping his sweat all over the food he was preparing I decided to just have an iced tea and left.

I agree with you that AC will be a bigger and bigger draw for customers as it gets hotter and hotter. I don't know about anyone else, but for me, watching an overweight short order cook dripping sweat all over peoples food is not what I want to see when I go to a restaurant.

Some places just flat NEED to be ACed.

Regards,

Marc
