Yes, of course. It is softer, quieter, less slippery, stylish, and generally safer than tile or wood. Plus, it gives carpet cleaners steady work and possibilities of referrals.

(written before I read that post you like, Mike.)

added later: Carpet is also what we as consumers expect when we go to a nice restaurant . (Just try to impress your ladylove with dinner over a tile floor! LOL!)

I went to a Chinese buffet a few days ago. As I was sitting down to my first plate of food, the waitress seated a couple across from me.... the lady was so big, she was using 2 chairs, one for each butt cheek. She sat there, while her obese, but not as big as her husband, got them both plates of food.... not one veggie on either plate.... ALL deep fry... they were still eating when I finished, they were on plate number 5......

Some of the nicest looking broadloom I've seen has been in restaurants. Apart from all the previous posted advantages I think a nice clean carpet in restaurants looks classy!

Broadloom? You're not from around here, are you?

added later (just to **** up Mike on what he likes!) ( I know, I have nothing to do.)

So agreeing with you on the classiness of carpet. Maybe that is why we even have an industry (career).

We need a program that allows for our favorite expletives!
But this will do. You do a good job, I think, Fred.

Mm-hmm. I was in one when they brought out the crab legs. Guy ahead of me started loading them in neat rows on his plate, cross-stacking like firewood. I watched in alarm as his pile rose four layers high and finally tapped him on the shoulder. “Hey Cap” I said “All-you-can-eat crab legs means us, too. Quit hogging them and go sit down!”
He did, pursued by a chorus of “Yeah, sit down” from the line behind me.

I mean, dang!

I'm picturing this happening in the Galley of a ship and all your fellow Coasties are standing in the chow line. This would qualify as a story you're allowed to tell.

No, it was in Palatka, Florida in 2004. You know, we had all waited for the staff to bring out a fresh steam tray and none of us wanted to wait for another.

A few years ago,I was at the local all-you-can-eat fish and chips place, there was a guy ordering 5-6 pieces at a time.... he would eat 2-3, AND PUT THE REST IN THE POCKETS OF HIS JACKET!!!!!

You can loose 10 pounds in three hours with the vomit diet.
  1. Go to Golden Corral on a Saturday
  2. stay breakfast till lunch and people watch eat through half a day.
  3. Come back Sunday and watch the after church crowd
  4. Whatever you do don't eat there.
