I got my hearing professionally checked today and all is normal. But I have difficulty hearing people I am dining with, talking in restaurants. Is it me, or is the music just too damn loud?!

Often because the staff is bored silly and want music to get through their minimum wage shift.

They've said restaurants though, not fast food joints.

Correct. A lot of restaurants pay staff that can get tips minimum wage, since they can make $100+ of extra income during the shift.

Some backward countries even have a lower minimum wage for people who can get tips.
