Ban of mobile phones in Leamington restaurant

Auradaze, a restaurant in Royal Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, has introduced a ban on mobile phones inside its facilities.

Darren Yates is the owner of this Japanese Deli and Sushi bar located in North Leamington.

Commenting on the use of mobile devices while being with other people, Yates says: “well, you can do that later”.

Warwick students seemed to share dissimilar opinions over the matter.

Iqra Malik, first-year Psychology student, commented: “phones should not be banned but they shouldn’t distract you from who you’re with.”

Jamie Jenkins, first-year History student, agreed, saying: “a ban is extreme as it’s an individual’s choice but it’s rude spending the whole time on your phone.”

Yates, however, has allowed customers to take pictures using their mobile phones.
