So last night, the steward at this restaurant we frequent, came up to our table. After hemming and hawing some, he said he'd 'undercharged' us in error the last time, and the difference had been taken out of his paycheck. 'No obligation, though' - he said. This apparently happened a month ago. Anyways, no worries, it was no big deal for us - we settled.
We planned to go to the tavern attached to this place afterward, but getting a table was usually a problem. It was always crowded, and on a weekend - a place to sit was impossible at 11pm. I thought, having accepted our steward's 'you don't have to' request, why not have him help us out?
He was quick indeed. Our steward hurried us in the tavern, where he blatantly placed a 'reserved' sign on a table where a group had just sat down. He yanked them all out saying that table was reserved and they'd have to wait outside. They protested rightfully, but our man stood firm. We got that table... yuk! yuk! Heehaw.
They left with dark looks in our direction. If this had happened to me, I'd have been mad as hell and would have created a scene. But I'm a hypocrite sometimes... ;).
No one was waiting for us by the parking lot afterward .... =).
