If you ever fill out a survey for a restaurant, they ask you to answer questions about everything from the food, to the lighting, to the service, to the atmosphere, to the comfort of the seating. Subway even offers you a free cookie if you take this survey and tell them just how inviting their restaurant chairs are. New Yorkers tend to eat out more often than they cook at home and tend to gravitate toward places where they feel comfortable. So, it's really no surprise that restaurants and bars are concerned with the atmosphere and subsequent comfort of their establishments.
Fast food chains, dives, greasy spoons, and hole-in-the-wall type places have an easier time of it than upscale sushi bars or Irish pubs in Midtown. The former don't have to concern themselves with the comfort of their customer's bottoms. Tell the truth: are you really that picky about the faded red plastic outdoor restaurant furniture at your local McDonalds? Probably not. But, when you walk into a swanky, upscale, Theatre District dining establishment for a pre-Broadway cocktail, you expect the shiny, black leather bar chairs to conform to your rear end. They should be a relief to sit in to take the load off of your aching, stilettoed feet.
In all fairness, however, here in New York, the fast food chains like Wendy's and McDonalds are trying to make themselves a little more appealing to customers by adding lime green armchairs and orange footstools to their "café" sections. This is a good move since these pieces look more inviting than commercial restaurant furniture, despite their lurid coloring.
To be honest, most people don't really notice the comfort of the restaurant furniture, and that's how it should be. You don't normally ask for a manager to tell them how phenomenal your server was or to compliment his perfect way of pouring your red wine. You call the manager to complain that your waiter poured your hot, post-dessert coffee in your wife's lap or served your husband a lump of charcoal instead of a medium rare steak. Maybe this is why the survey question on the Subway questionnaire about the comfort of the furniture takes people by surprise.
You will probably pay closer attention next time you walk into a restaurant. Go ahead, inspect the bar chairs. And yes, you should definitely try that lime green McCafe chair. So, sit down and enjoy!
