It apparently happens so frequently, that they report that if the place is dead empty and a customer walks in, they can bet $100 the customer will choose the dirty table - and win!
They're absolutely right to complain about that. How truly pathetic.

(unless the hostess puts me there - I'm hopelessly obedient)
Ask why she would even think to bring you to a dirty table. See what she has to say. Is it only hostesses who do this in your experience or hosts too?
