Went to McDonald’s today as it was youngest child’s treat day. We arrived just after lunch rush and most empty seats were dirty . One section a worker was cleaning and he offered me a table for 4 just cleaned. There were only 2 of us but not busy at this point and I couldn’t see any clean 2.
Around 5 minutes later a lady with 3 young kids came in and Sat at the 8 table. She got tablets out for kids and put youngest in a high chair. We were ordering our food on my phone so didn't pay much attention. Food arrived and shortly after so did her food. She then took the tray and sat it on the empty 2 table next to me. I was confused as they had plenty of space where they were. She then pulled the high chair over and sat baby facing me at the end of my table. the two older children sat at the two table. I looked around and the worker had cleaned all the tables by this time and there were at least 4 tables for 4 and the table she had just left as well.
She seemed to be avoiding eye contact but clearly she wanted my table as she’d sat baby next to me and a drink beside my tray.
I didn’t move and she finally turned the high chair around and hovered over the other the table. My son was was eating and colouring so we had took up space over the whole table .
It was so awkward and although she didn't ask me to move she clearly wanted my seat . Why mine when she had one already and there were others I don’t know. Would you have moved mid meal to a smaller table even if there were other options for her? I can’t help but feel I missed something.
