A group of people reserved a table for eight.
They showed up with 13 adults.
If you were the owner of a place that had 28 seats, would you be:
A.) Ecstatic! I would welcome the added business!
B.) Ecstatic! I would welcome the added business!
C.) Ecstatic! I would welcome the added business!
D.) Ecstatic! I would welcome the added business!
E.) None of the above. Instead, get pissed off because they didn't call to add more people to their reservation.
True story. Saturday night, someone made a reservation for eight people during peak hours. The waitress asked the owner if they should even accept the reservation. The owner said OK, but needed to make sure that it was only eight people. Also, asked that if there was an increase in their party size, that they call back to increase the party size.
The group came in on time. There were ten people. The owner got lit up.
It was so funny to watch.
I thought the owner was going to kick them out.
About ten minutes later another two people walk in to join their group.
...
About ten minutes later another person joined the group.
I was on the floor.
