Observation Notes

Space- They physical space is the restaurant. When you walk in there is a line to the counter where you order your food. The menu above the counter is a giant magnetic board with the options and prices listed. There are pictures and beer advertisements hanging on the walls and ceiling. There is a lot of yellow and red. There are booths and tables with chairs. There are high top tables. There are tvs. There is a place where they cook the food and where people pick up their orders.

Actor- There are people that take the orders and people that prepare the food. There are also people that clean up the tables. There are also customers. There are people that work there and people coming to get food.

Activity- There are people ordering food and people taking the order. There are people preparing food, and people picking up their food. There are people eating and there are people cleaning up.

There are trays, plates, bowls, cups, food, tables, chairs, stools, napkins, bottles of sauce and salt/pepper shakers. People are trying to each food. They also have conversations and enjoy the atmosphere. People seem happy, laid back, not too formal.

 

There was a wide range of people going to eat there, not just students. There was a long line forming. All the tables were full. I saw lots of people picking up to-go orders. People dressed pretty casual. There were people that looked like students but also a lot of people that didn’t look like students.

 

At night there are mostly TCU students there. There are a lot of people drinking and there late. There are groups of people sitting and people come in to join them. There are a lot of people that do not have food, just beer or a drink. There are people coming in to pick up to-go orders.

  1. I liked first how you talked about all the different items that are around you and the area you were in. Is there a certain pattern to what is there or on each table? Next I liked the way you showed the way customers were different at night. What were the attitudes of the customers at night and during the day? How did they change?
