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?
Has anyone ever asked to talk to a manager when a hostess refused to seat you elsewhere? I would hate to have to do this but it seems ridiculous to have to sit next to someone else just to make the hostess happy.
