Other diners in restaurants

Last night we went out for dinner to a very nice local restaurant. It was quite busy, lots of tables of businessmen having dinner, and couples. Lovely decor and food and wine are fab. Just after we ordered I noticed a waitress leading 3 teenage boys to the table opposite us. They were dressed in cut off jeans and flip flops. One played on his ifone through their entire meal, one put his headphones in and listed to his ipod and the 3rd one amused himself by stacking up the salt and pepper pots. Quite why they went out for dinner together I dont know as they barely communicated with each other , apart from squeezing the lemon in the garnish onto each others food.Although I have to say they weren't rowdy and didnt bother anybody, they did look very out of place, esp the one with his headphones in the entire time.

So my Q is, if you are out and aout and decide to pop in somewhere for a meal, and you are looking at the restaurant menus in their windows etc, do you look at who is eating in there already, and does it affect your decision to go in or not?

I do look and if it is say a Chinese restaurant and it is full of Chinese people, I will go in as the food must be good.
