I agree. I wish poachers were like the member who contributed a day or two ago: waits at the seat, but moves to the assigned seat if the passenger isn’t willing to swap.

It’s been years since I’ve had a poacher try and take my seat; however, when I let the person know that they’re in the wrong seat, without fail, I get an explanation as to why. It’s frustrating as I’ve already told them what the conversation is about and they haven’t started moving.
