I think the best answer to this is to say I prefer to be seated some place else. The clue is to understand that they work for you not you for them. I know that often times customers are spread amongst the waiters rather than in a clump. I also know that it takes someone to say I would rather sit elsewhere. If they seem reluctant then be sure to contact the manager. I have found most mangagers are willing to try to keep any customers good will. Directness does work wonders. ----- Original Message ----- From: First & Last-Name <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Wednesday, February 02, 2000 3:40 PM Subject: Re: PD Awareness Article in Missouri paper Feb 1, 2000 > my sister suggests that someone write a thoughtful letter to ann landers. my > pet peeve is being seated in back of restaurant even tho i walk with cane > and also last seat in plane. n spires >
