Is It Really That Cold?

Biftu · ‎02-05-2011

The hosts are always saying how you need this cover up, sweater, jacket, etc. because restaurants and theatres are always freezing in the summer. I suppose it depends where you live, but here in the northeast restaurants are never that cold. I find them comfortable and certainly no need for a sweater. I always have a light coverup wherever I go but rarely need it. I'm sure part of it is a selling tactic. Do you find restaurants in your area freezing?

Some are.

@Biftu My downstairs is freezing. Supposedly when our houses were built 20 years ago the duct work wasn't sufficient enough for the AC, heat works ok. My AC condenser unit is only a couple years old and my AC guy did the best he could.

Looking into an attic fan but in the meantime in order to keep the upstairs cool and tolerable at night the downstairs is a freezer. i.e. I have to wear a sweater, warm throw, even turn on the Duraflame sometimes!

Crazy, right?!

I'm in Arizona and it's 116 degrees. I want it cold when I go into a building. It takes a while to cool down. I barely wear a sweater or jacket in the winter but I do sometimes take a sweater if we go to the movies.

@Biftu , No, in the summer I welcome the AC.

@Biftu I'm from the Northeast too, and I don't find restaurants or stores freezing. I always take a light jacket too, and never need it.

I am with you. Also in the northeast and would not more think of taking a jacket or cardigan with me in this weather than I would a pair of mittens. The coldest facilities seem to be the supermarkets, and to me they are comfortable. Theaters, banks, stores, museums are often warmer than I like in the summer. But I am not a summer person, and if one actually likes warm weather, comfort levels would be different.

@Biftu I feel just the opposite of you. I am really cold in restaurants and a sweater or jacket is a necessity. Can't wait to get out of there. Office is the same, freezing all day. Movie theaters and grocery stores - freezing.

I have so many jackets and cardigans and use them all summer.

I have always said places need to turn the air down and increase their profits with a lower electric bill.

YES...I'm cold natured so I find most restaurants and theaters very cold. In the winter, I rarely take off my coat in a restaurant.

Our church is very cold (and others agree). I was telling somebody a week or so ago that I'm going to start wearing my winter wool sweaters. Even with a jacket or cardigan, I'm cold.

But, yes, this is tactic to sell, sell, sell!!!
