Booked a table for 5 for MD lunch at a local cafe/restaurant.
Me, DH and DD arrive first, my parents still on their way. We are given a table that comfortably sits 8, 10 at a push.
A few minutes later, a group of 6 arrive (five adults and a baby) without a booking. Waiter tells them to sit "at the end of that table". Meaning ours. As we were still a party of three at that stage, they spread out to take the majority of the table. I point out we were waiting for two other people. They make an attempt to shuffle up, but there really wasn't room. I see red, pack up and leave after telling the waiter that it wasn't an acceptable way to treat us given we had booked two months ago.
For context, it's not fine dining. It's a cafe that does very nice (and expensive) food at an exclusive waterside location.
WIBU to throw a strop? In my defence we've had a very stressful week with relatives in hospital etc.
