This really work when everyone has a high stress job that requires after hours work.

Technology has taken over.

In 1998, when a phone was a phone, this "stacking" might have worked, except people doing so would have been seen as a bunch of jerks wanting to show off their abunance of cellular telephones.

Today, the very same device is also your business card, the photo of your newborn, your allergy guide, your personal list of wine recommendations and, quite likely, the camera, with witch you snap a picture of the dinner, et cetera.

Soon it'll be your wallet too, and maybe your keys as well, neither of which would be very clever to put on a table and then, for example, leave for the restroom.

I think you guys are missing the point..... being in the moment... Nobody NEEDS a phone.... we've just gotten so use to them that we have become dependent.

1. Or how about we just get separate bills and talk shit about other people who annoy us like normal adults?

2. If you honestly think that NOBODY needs a phone then you are singing the anthem of the people without a good office job.

well thats a shit game :L i would do card roulette! let the waiter pick the credit card out of a box!

imagine if this was done on the first date.

what is the matter with people these days, all they do is gazing at there phone. I've got a nice Samsung galaxy sII but only when i am alone or at my break i look at it. I hate that.

But...but...but...if I can't look at my phone how will I be able to share my porn pics with everyone at the table (including the waitress)?
