The host, having seen what I had done, shot me a dirty look, but then ignored me for the rest of my meal (which was fine with me).
No, the hostess who commanded that I could not be seated anywhere else but seven inches from the restaurant's only other occupant was in Detroit, at the Marriott Hotel, Renaissance Center. Happened a few years ago, but I recall this incident like it happened yesterday.
Anybody venture a guess as to why these sadistic hosts and hostesses insist someone sit so uncomfortably close to another diner in an empty restaurant? Obviously they want to keep the few diners together within a server's station, but why to this extreme?
