Have to admit... do not appreciate being called classless.

I can certainly say that I have NEVER had any waitstaff not clean the table immediately.... and have never been ignored.

I do not see how sitting down to get out of the way is making life difficult. Oftentimes I even ask if I can sit there... and am told certainly.

It is amazing--but shouldn't be--how many people go out of their way to make life difficult for others.
