Define "need," thanks.

Do you really need your smartphone? It makes my girlfriend and I uncomfortable. What if you're secretly recording our conversations with it? I need you to turn it off whenever you're within close proximity to us. If you don't like that, you can leave the venue.

Unless you and your girlfriend run the establishment, this is probably a stupid argument you should give up on.

Well, we will complain to the owners, who will undoubtedly ask you to turn off your cellphones. Because, you see, cellphones make us uncomfortable, and our comfort is more important than your convenience.

The owners won't do poo poo for you and your girlfriend, because nearly everyone has a cell phone in their pocket/bag and they're not going to make everyone turn it off just for you. The situation is basically the mirror opposite of what you're describing, where no one in the restaurant wants Opticon around and one lone moron couldn't deal with removing a clunky nerd fetish for a single meal.
