NO RESERVATIONS!

This goes out to people who think they can barge into a restaurant, demand a table for their large group, and fuss over the accommodations. This is especially dedicated to the woman who had a party of 17 that were "ready" but had not left the hotel just yet. Yes, I said you can have the tables with ONE condition: You had one hour to dine and leave so I got my tables back for people who had reservations. Yeah its crappy that I had to put a time limit on your dinner, but you are taking up 75% of my restaurant and if I'm going to honor people who had the genius idea of making a reservation, unlike like your dumb ass, you got 60 minutes.

So when you sit down, do you bother to look at the menu? Do you bother to call your friends? Better yet, as the spokeswoman for your table, do you bother to tell anyone else you have a time limit? Of course not, because in your head you think since you got the table you can sit for as long as you like and everything will be okay. So when I mention you have 40 minutes left, haven't ordered, and only 3/17 are present, I am going to tell you that times running out and that makes me the bad guy.

Yes I want your business, but not at the expense of losing those who do the smart thing because they have larger parties as well. So when your husband says you will dine elsewhere my feelings aren't hurt one bit because you are the dumb ass bitch that sat there quietly when I explained to him the same condition I did to you: ONE HOUR. So no, he wasn't upset with me, but for you to snap at me as you walk out as though you didn't know and that I threw you out, no I didn't. You still had 35 minutes 2o seconds till I threw your dumb, motherfucking ass out my door!
