Earlier today, I was at my local Safeway branch with my dad, his girlfriend, and my brother.
Well I was there, I bought two donuts, and one gourmet cinammon bun with my own money. One of the donuts I gave to my brother as a Christmas present, well I ate the other myself (a surger-sprinkled donut with strawberry filling.) I ended up deciding to save the gourmet cinammon bun for later.
After we had finished our shopping, we went to bookstore which doubled as a small cafe known as Breakwater Books, where I decided I wanted to eat my gourmet cinammon bun. To my dismay, my dad said to me it was impolite and not allowed at certain places to eat food from other buisnesses in seperate buisnesses. I understood this in the terms that if you waltzed into a cafe with food from another cafe and decided to sit down at one of there tables and eat nothing but what you bought at the other cafe without purchasing anything from the cafe you where present in, but didn't understand it in the terms if you brought food in from one cafe into another cafe, but purchased something from the cafe you decided to eat in.
I asked my dad about this, and he insisted that was impolite as well. It frustrated me that I didn't understand so I began interrogating him in an attempt to try and make sense of this. I began assuming it was just one of those things you apparently had to obey without knowing exactly why, and if you know me, you'll understand that I don't obey those kind of rules without knowing exactly why I have to.
I believe that as long as you purchase something at a buisness you plan to eat something from outside the buisness in, you should be aloud to eat anything you'd like there, but maybe you should remember to clean up after yourself.
