We almost never ask for a different table at a restaurant than the one the host has set us at - BUT:
Today we went out for breakfast and were seated by a young mom, her baby and two pre-schoolers. The kids were doing the normal thing kids do - moving around, pestering each other, etc. The mom was constantly yelling at them, yelling so loud other people were turning around and looking. We couldn't take it and asked to be moved and were relocated in the opposite side of the place - we could still hear her. Poor kids with a mom who thinks the only way to discipline is to yell.
Then in the evening we went to a steak house we usually go to while in the Orlando area (yes, we eat out a lot). Almost every time we eat there they try to seat us in the bar which is unacceptable to us (bad experiences). We always laugh about this wondering if we look like drunks. The hostess began to lead us to the bar and so I told her not the bar. No she was leading us to a back room, the only other people there were staff eating their dinners. The room was cold, I hate being cold and also knew service would be sparse back in that room. One of the staff eating in that room told the hostess to seat us elsewhere at about the same time I said we wanted another table. She sat us in a nice area of the dinning room. My question? Was she trying to hide us, do we look that bad or appear to have poor manors that would upset the other guests?
