What would it take to get you to put down your phone during a meal? Sarah’s Corner Cafe in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, is offering a deal for people who want to enjoy a meal, and each other, unplugged. They’ve set up so-called “family recharging stations” at tables where you drop your phone into a basket.
“They let the server know and the server will bring over a basket with old fashioned Hangman and Tic Tac Toe and pencils because those games are interactive instead of coloring, which is solitary (孤单的),” owner Barry Lynch told ABC News. Once a family joins in the challenge, staff bring games to the table to encourage the family to interact and communicate with one another.
If families make it through the meal without looking at their phones, they’re rewarded 10 percent off their bill. “A lot of people are starting to do it and it’s taken on a life of its own,” said Lynch.
The idea for the “family recharging time” came to Lynch after observing many of his customers. “There’s one particular family I knew used to come in on Sunday for breakfast after church,” he recalled. “Every time I went over, one or two of the kids and sometimes the parents would be on the phone. I also knew the dad would go to New York for work every day, which takes a lot of time. I asked him about that and he said, ‘Yeah, I still do it. It’s so nice to be together and these breakfasts are rare.’ And when he said that, I thought, ‘Something is going on here. I need to do something.’”
Lynch is thrilled by the response his phone-free meals have gotten and hopes they continue to enrich his customers’ family time. “I just thought it was such a shame not to have more time together just to talk,” he said.
吃饭时需要什么才能放下手机?宾夕法尼亚州斯特劳兹堡的Sarah‘s Corner咖啡馆为那些想享受一顿饭的人提供了一项优惠,而且彼此都不插电。他们在桌子上设立了所谓的“家庭充电站”,你可以把手机放进篮子里。
“他们让服务员知道,服务员会带来一个篮子,里面装着老式的Hangman、Tic Tac Toe和铅笔,因为这些游戏是交互式的,而不是单独着色(孤单的),” 店主巴里·林奇告诉ABC新闻。一旦一个家庭加入挑战,工作人员就会把游戏带到桌子上,鼓励这个家庭相互互动和交流。
如果家庭在不看手机的情况下完成了这顿饭,他们将获得10%的账单折扣。林奇说:“很多人开始这样做,它有了自己的生活。”。
林奇在观察了他的许多客户后,萌生了“家庭充电时间”的想法。他回忆道:“我认识一个特殊的家庭,他们经常在周日教堂后来吃早餐。”。“每次我去的时候,都会有一两个孩子,有时还有父母在打电话。我也知道父亲每天都会去纽约上班,这需要很多时间。我问他这件事,他说,‘是的,我仍然这么做。”。能在一起真是太好了,而且这些早餐很少见。”当他这么说的时候,我想,‘这里发生了一些事情。我需要做点什么。”
林奇对他的免费电话餐得到的回应感到兴奋,并希望这些回应能继续丰富他的客户的家庭时间。他说:“我只是觉得没有更多的时间在一起聊天真是太遗憾了。”。
