DD's story; not mine.
She was in Pret A Manger this afternoon, minding her own business, eating lunch (bought from Pret) with her headphones on. A woman with a pushchair tapped her on her arm to get her attention. DD looked up and smiled at the woman, and the woman said "give me your table". DD said "no" and woman persisted with a few more "give me your table". When DD said "no" again the woman asked why she wouldn't and DD said "you didn't say please". The woman then told her she needs the table because she had a pushchair and DD said "I don't care, go upstairs". Woman gets angry saying "how dare you speak to me like this, move now". DD Stands her ground and tells her to go upstairs again. A Pret employee approaches the table and asks what the problem is. DD tells her this woman poked her arm and told her to move; not ask. Employee tells woman there are other seats upstairs but woman says she wants to sit at DD's table. DD says she's not moving and the woman says "I'm never coming here again" etc etc. Employee apologised to DD and older couple remarked on how rude she was.
I've never had an experience like this. I've read on here about situations like this before and I couldn't really believe people act like this, but now it's happened to someone I know. How rude!
