Isn't the whole point of getting out of the house to socialize? I mean, at least part of it?

Well, the point can be to get food that you don't have to cook or dish up or anything yourself.
Must one socialize at breakfast at IHOP? This whole issue may turn on whether it's a dress up and go out kind of restaurant or a get food kind of restaurant. Personally, I think it's nearly always OK not to chat during the first meal of the day, unless it's some kind of event (e.g. brunch with the in-laws).
