If I’m given a choice of where to sit at a restaurant, I will almost always go for the booth. Not only are the chairs more comfortabIe, but the nestled-in dining experience is also more intimate. As someone who enjoys privacy, the booth is the perfect solution.
However, if you’ve ever been in a restaurant and the hostess walked you and your party past a perfectly good booth to a set of hard-chairs, you’re probably left wondering why. Restaurants have their own reasons for not giving customers booth seats even if they’re available. Perhaps, it is just the luck of the draw, and you are being seated in another server’s section. Or maybe the booth is reserved for other customers who called in.
One family walked into a local Texas Roadhouse restaurant in Dallas they were denied the seat they desired and decided to take a stand against the restaurant by sharing a picture of it on social media. The family was mad that the hostess had walked right past the seemingly available booth. Because they really wanted those more comfortable seats, the family sent one of their own to go “scout it out” and found that there was a sign on the table indicating the booth was reserved from some special VIPs.
