Were the hostesses just on a power trip? It's not like they have to do anything except stand around all day and press a couple buttons on a computer. I've been to the same restaurant dozens of times (even during coronavirus) and the service was always top tier. Now I don't know if I'll ever go back. Non-chains can't afford to have service this crappy, no wonder so many restaurants are going under if they think they can pull this bullshit.

That doesn't make sense, it would've been less effort just to do nothing at all instead of try to get us to obey

i dont know maybe the computer system was split into sections and they wanted everyone in just 1 section.

Then they shouldn't have lied and said it was for "social distancing" when really they were just trying to sit everyone as close together as possible

Maybe they have certain tables for certain waiters so you were making john lose his tips and becky get an extra table which would lead to drama because it was his turn

If this is your favorite restaurant don't let a dumb inexperienced server ruin the lot. She probably had sections with another server and figured a white lie would be easier than explaining to the other server that she took a table out of her section. When things are busy little things customers do set restaurant people off due to their own stress. Some of us are better at handling it, but some people can let it stick with them even when it's not.

It wasn't busy I said the restaurant was almost empty. And it was the hostess who had a problem not the waiter. He was the only waiter I saw in the whole place too so it's not like me moving would've cost him a tip.

yes. the hostess was tripping and that's poor service. the only logical explanation i can think of was she was defending her tables from other waiters since tables are usually chopped up into sections where each one has their own waiter.
it was probably that she didn't want to have to clean all those tables but thats tough fucking shit for her with a pandemic going on.
