peanut shells
0 What customers at steakhouses are allowed to throw peanut shells on the floor? 02 br

00 I see your concerns about someone slipping on the shells. I think most people who go to a steakhouse expect the possibility of peanut shells scattering on the floors, so they will pay attention and be careful. I think the reason steakhouses allow such behavior is that they want their customers to feel relaxed and drop their restrictions, including, what they hope, restrictions on alcohol and diet. 02 br

00 Are there any mistakes? 02 br
