Unbelieveable! This Is Not Butter!
dizastress and yi: omg, me too! in a silent (S-I-L-E-N-T) office area and here I am giggling at the thought of lookalike cats staring each other down from across the street....oh, geez. i've gotta step outside to let this laugh out or i may just implode!
Served: Reservations or Lack Thereof
Wow--that lady was rude...maybe she'd had a rough day? But I can also say that I'd be a little peeved if I walked into a completely empty place and was told I couldn't be seated until my party arrived. For me, a reasonable explanation of the policy would suffice and I sure wouldn't be rude like that, but I'd still think it silly to enforce it with an empty dining area.
I used to work in a place that took reservations... Geez,it could be a bear to deal with delays in seating, for sure--and I tried to give estimated wait times the best I could. I offered a similar response for people calling ahead to ask how long the wait generally was on a given day of the week--I'd offer an estimate based on the average, and make sure there was no mistaking that it was just a guess--not a guarantee.

I bought a bag of dried chile pequin because I missed seeing the fresh ones around where I used to live in TX, but then had no clue what to do with them. I found this recipe for pequin chocolate cupcakes on the cupcakeblog--and they turned out great! Very intriguing and delicious with a little bite to them. Took them to work and they were a hit!
