I've noticed this same issue with retail, but it's actually worse. A celebrity sims comes into the store, usually just as a loiterer, not even a customer and just stand there distracting everyone from the store. The paparazzi are absolutely annoying too. They need to make a way to lock paparazzi out of venues. Worst part is because they are a celebrity you can't even interact with them at all, no selling, so sales pitch. They just stand there interrupting everything. It's so frustrating. I feel your pain with the restaurants. I haven't tried that yet, but after the retail fiasco, I don't think I want to. :/ good luck.
