Sorry to say, but when pay is based on tipping, what the waiter did makes perfect sense. A 12 top is a lot of money for much less effort, so they are always going to be catered to. I wish tipping weren't a thing in the US, but it is.

I'm not saying he/she was a good person, just economically-minded. If I get sat and the server has a huge party, I know I'm in for a wait.

This is one of the few times I've raged in one of these "restaurant stories" threads.

Under no circumstances should patrons have to move or reorganize because the restaurant took on more guests than it could seat. Especially if they're not busy.

Does this place only have 14 chairs or what?

I never comment on tipping as a matter of principle, but this is a scenario where I /definitely/ wouldn't tip. The same goes for any kind of condescending remarks like in OP's story. For the 45-60 minutes I'm at your restaurant, you are my employee. You don't get to question me or go and work for someone else.

no, it's called class. she made a somewhat clumsy attempt to be friendly. if you have no class, you either respond with silence, or maybe even return a rude remark.

a person with class would have replied in some way to show that you appreciate her attempt at friendliness. after that, if she turns out to be one of those idiots who wants to have an extended conversation, you display further class by smiling a bit to show that the conversation is over.

said, all OP (or you) would have to do is force a smile, say something small in return, and busy yourself to show that the dialogue is over. Some people like chatting with waiters and waitresses, and they're not psychic, so they don't know who likes to talk and who doesn't.

So the waitress tried to make small talk, but accidentally said something that could be interpreted as insulting.
