If you work in the food industry, you can agree that these are a few of the most annoying things for a guest to say.
1. "I see all these empty tables"
Yes. We know, and trust us, there's probably a good reason we're not seating you there.
2. "I'll just seat myself"
No, please don't. You're going to throw off a whole process.
3. "Oh, no, we asked for a booth"
No, you said anywhere would be fine, and you just don't like the table we gave you.
4. "I don't see why I have to wait so long"
Believe it or not, there are people who are ahead of you on the waitlist.
Moral of the story: please just be patient. It will make every thing so much easier.
