I'm moving house tomorrow, so last night my parents decided to take me out for a meal. We didn't book a table, and were surprised to get there and find the restuarant very busy. Thankfully, we got seated, but it was so full we were near the entrance. Ah well, no biggie.
A little while later, a man enters, along with a wife and two children.
SC: Hi, I booked a table.
Waitress: OK then, can I take your name please?
SC: Smith.
Waitress: Smith...(she looks at the book)
SC: We're a little late...
Waitress: Sir, I have you booked for a table for four at 6:30pm...
SC: That's right!
Waitress: Sir, it is now 8pm.
SC: Yes, well, I told you we were running late.
Waitress: Yes, just now. I'm afraid we have given your table away.
SC: What?! I booked a table!
Waitress: Yes, for 6:30pm, that was an hour and a half ago.
SC: Now what are we supposed to do?
Waitress: I am afraid you have two choices. You can wait here until I find you a table, or go elsewhere.
SC: But we booked a table! This is ridiculous!
Waitress: But it does not save the table for you for the whole night!
SC: Fine, we'll go somewhere else! I have hungry children you know!
Yes, yet another idiot who chose not to feed his kids til 8pm and blames everyone else for it.
