How come customers don't understand that unless you make a reservation, you will not necessarily be guaranteed a table or the best table in the house. Hello?!?!?
Also, just because a restaurant is dead empty at the start of dinner doesn't mean you can bitch and complain, "There are so many empty tables!! I don't get why we can't get a better table!!" Since you did not make a reservation, all those other tables are going to people who did!
A couple came in wanting to sit down, so the maitre'd had him sit at one of the bar tables....no the most ideal place to sit, but he'll be served. The man in the couple came back and asked what was the wait time for a table in the dining room.
Maitre'd: I can give you a table in the dining room, sir, but I'd have to give you an out time.
Customer: What? You going to tell us to get up and leave??
Maitre'd was definitely annoyed by that comment.
Make a reservation, STOOPID!
