There’s a familiar name on the reservation book for tomorrow. Someone who has worked in the business. Someone who should know better.

The reservation is for three people at a high top.

But has a guest note to make sure they are seated at the bar. It’s her husbands birthday.

She could have called the restaurant.

She could have called me. She has my cell number.

Instead she tries to skirt the system.

Just call us. We’ll take care of it.

Truth is, this time of the year these requests are easier to accommodate. But unfortunately they do it in the summer as well!
