I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Loud restaurant walla (chatter) when literally NOBODY in the background was having a conversation. The lead guy's dialogue and mumbling were brutal, and his awful performance brought this poorly produced scene even lower.

There's some great stuff in this show; i especially liked the shot of the sister roller skating on her deck. But when it's bad it is really awful.
So I just watched the episode again and kept an eye out for this scene, because it didn't jump out at me on first viewing. Yep, still no clue what you're talking about. There's a minimal amount of ambient rumbling and his voice is mixed up front and center. He's somewhat mumbly, but perfectly intelligible. You can take issue with the actor's performance, but there is nothing wrong with that scene on a technical level
