Don't give people the option.
One case - At a relative's house I pointed it out and they did not want the black space on the sides so they left it in stretch mode. I refuse to watch TV at their house. Also it is a PIA to change viewing modes with this TV as you have to go into the menu options. It should be as easy as touching a button on the remote. FYI - Vizio TV
Second case - I installed a wide screen TV mounting it to the wall (also installed cable and power behind the TV) at a friend's house. This TV gave NO option to view broadcasts as standard picture. It only offered stretch mode. FYI - another Vizio TV
As stated above, I have been to numerous restaurants and bars with the same issue. It is frustrating to watch a distorted picture and the owner of the TV either does not care or does not know any better.
