This Italian Restaurant Is Offering A Free Bottle Of Wine If You’re Willing To Do This
Would you go to an Italian restaurant that is offering a free bottle of wine if you’re willing to do this? What is it? It’s putting your phone down, can you do it?
This would sound absurd to us let’s say 20 years ago before our phones got so smart. Before the arrival of iPhone and all the others, we would not have distractions at the table. Sure, you could always bring a book or something else to read at the table, but that was only used till everyone sat down for dinner.
Now we have this most powerful piece of technology created in the last two decades at our fingertips. It’s all too easy to be distracted by all the information we can access in a millisecond.
So, why is this Italian restaurant offering a free bottle of wine if you’re willing to turn it off and turn it in? Probably because they are tired of seeing their diners sitting over a wonderful meal and gazing at their phones not their companions.
Where do we go for that free bottle of wine
Most Americans have a hard time making it through a meal without pulling out their phones . . . even at a restaurant. But many of us would gladly give that up, if we got a DISCOUNT.
There’s a new restaurant in Italy that’s trying something cool: They’re giving diners a FREE BOTTLE OF WINE . . . if you give up your phone when you come in. They put it in a box, and it’s even locked with a key, which they give to you.
The restaurant is in Verona, and it’s called “Al Condominio.” They said they wanted to try something new . . . and they thought this would be a fun way to encourage diners to be more present with their companions.
Giving up your phone is OPTIONAL . . . but with a generous perk like a bottle of wine, they say the response has been “very positive,” and most diners are taking them up on the offer. (The Guardian)
