Unable To Handle The Wait Of The Situation

I am eating in a nice restaurant on Saint Augustine Beach with my mom, dad, and sister. There is usually a wait of around thirty minutes here.

A large group of people walks into the area I am in, and they stand next to my table.

Woman: “It looks like there is an empty table there, but I don’t think it will fit all of us.”

The group discusses this while standing in the way of waiters. Eventually, a hostess walks up.

Hostess: “Hi. Were you added to our waitlist?”

Woman: “Um, no. We just came in.”

Hostess: “Unfortunately, there is a wait. You are welcome to add your name to the waitlist and grab a drink from the bar, but we do ask that you wait outside.”

The woman looks shocked. The hostess has walked away at this point.

Woman: “This is ridiculous! They expect us to wait? I cannot believe this!”

The group starts funneling out to the patio.

My Dad: “Have they never been to a restaurant before?”
