Fully Booked, Fully Unbothered

I’ve been trying to explain to a customer that we can’t seat his no-reservation table-of-ten on a Saturday night immediately, and that it will be at least a ninety-minute wait.

Going by his facial expression, that wasn’t the response he expected. Sadly, he didn’t leave the review on Facebook…
