Hmm. I've never done it. I've seen others do it, and it doesn't bother me. I think I prefer it to a row of folks at the bar just on their phones and not talking to each other.

Last time I tried this (the book was Klara and the Sun), I was right be the entrance and the place was doing a busy takeout, so it wasn't a lot of fun.

Business travel, airport or office cafeterias etc. pffft. That stuff is socially accepted plus there's nothing to lose away from home. Go find a cute trattoria in your neighborhood, maybe go there 7pm on a Friday night and just fuckin' sit there by yourself and eat. Like really draw it out with a bottle of wine and shit. That's next level.

Always order dessert when eating alone.

It depends on the type of establishment. For the most part bars are social spaces which even in their quieter moments offer numerous distractions. I'm not a voracious reader, though, so it could be that I'm just easily distracted.
