A server's section usually consists of one or two (maybe three) booths and a couple of tables. the other servers who come in a half hour to one hour later don't want to lose a table for the opening rush, so the host, in an effort to keep the peace, will inevitably seat the people in the servier's section. This will only happen with late lunchs and early dinners or really late dinners when the dining room is operating with a skelaton staff. If you do ask to be seated elsewhere, please don't camp out at the table. You may not have ever met the other server, but that is probably a large percentage of her section. That is an easy one.
