Losers.
I've done it loads of times (usually when horribly hungover and not capable of entertaining a conversation with a dining partner!). Wouldn't even occur to me to be embarassed, but you do get looked at a lot by fellow diners....get over it dudes!

Why would one be so self-conscious as to not want to eat by oneself? Get over it.
