Why do so many restaurants have bad acoustics?

Question

There are so many hard surfaces and I can never hear my friends talking

Answer 1

Restaurants are for eating.

I don't know what restaurants you are going to, but I never have problems hearing.

Perhaps you need to have a hearing test.

Answer 2

I think the problem is not the surfaces, but the number of people.  Over the years I've noticed that the tables get closer together so that they can fit more peopl in & make more money.  With everyone talking it gets louder & louder just like a school yard or other crowded places.

Answer 3

For easy sanitation.  It's extremely difficult/impossible to clean up spills on most carpets and fabrics.
