		<description>No, they probably had a corporate policy, for their four star restaurant, that does not allow them to give large tables to two entitled customers. Restaurant staff have to enforce corporate policies across the board. Even if they are riddiculous. Restaurants only have a handful of large tables. If two large parties or more came in the next hour (not unlikely), the restaurant would have trouble seating them. And it would look very bad to have two people occupying a huge-ass table while 8 people had to wait for it to be vacated.  
 
And, I&#039;ve tended to notice that entitled cunts who think that a table &#039;belongs&#039; to them think that the restauarnt around them is far more empty than it actually is. I don&#039;t suppose the table RIGHT NEXT to the coveted table was that much less spectacular. The bitch just obsessed over it because she&#039;s one of those people who acts like she owns every restaurant she sets foot in.  </description>

		<description>um...seriously, the woman&#039;s children probably don&#039;t act like the entitled brats you two made yourself out to be. And they probably aren&#039;t dumb enough to think that the health department would care that they kicked out a pair of twats who wore out the staffs&#039; patience with their obnoxious behavior, either. Seriously, why would the health department give a rip? Did the place acquire more germs when you stopped gracing it, or something? 
 
I wish every manager knew how to treat entitled bitches like you.  </description>

		<description>Wow. Not only did your sarcastic remark of &quot;where are they?&quot; fail, but the health department threat made you look like an even bigger dumbass. I&#039;m sorry but you&#039;re really, really dumb. Everyone in the restaurant probably had a good laugh at your expense; I know I did.

You asked, and therefore got your answer. Simply asking again does not change the answer. I don&#039;t know why people proceed to question what has already been outlined for them. 

Lastly, you agitated the staff and at that point (assuming you kept nagging, asking the same question, etc. for quite some time) anyone would have blown a fuse. Good thing you left willingly, since you would have probably been kicked out if you proceeded on being rude.

P.S. Everyone insulting servers or anyone in the food industry needs to double check themselves. We earn more than most of the guests who visit; this is fact everywhere. Your crappy tip will even out with the next tip we get, usually around to twenty or thirty percent on average. The people who bring you your lemon-water are probably in college, and will not work this job for long anyway. It pays to be nice, because, in my case, I will always go the extra mile to make your night extraordinary. In some cases I will lower your bill or bring free desert, and I&#039;m just a server ;)  

All we ask for is kindness, which seems like a human thing to do in the first place :)</description>

		<description>I love all of the service industry people getting upset about this post.  What a bunch of fucking losers.  I bet all of you get so mad at your job that some days you feel like you could....do something.  So scary losers.  Keep flipping my burgers. </description>

		<description>There&#039;s nothing wrong with asking to sit at a table that can seat 6 if you have a party of 2...as long as the restaurant is not busy.  Which it obviously wasn&#039;t.  The manager was being an asshole and behaved unprofessionally. 
 
However, the OP shouldn&#039;t have inflamed the situation with the comment about the health department as they walked out the door.  Simply taking your business elsewhere would have sufficed. </description>
