The hostess said we could sit in the smoking section right away or wait for non smoking. We both said we'd be happy to wait. Shortly thereafter 3 more groups came in behind us and were told the same thing. They all waited.
I asked one of them if they thought the management would figure it out and the entire crowd started discussing it.
So there IS talk and it will happen.
As soon as enough people figure out that they don't have to subject themselves to the one smoker's habit they are trying to appease by sitting in the health risk section. People it’s OK to tell aunt Edna to take her filthy habit outside and not harm you or your children by smoking while you are eating.
Or you can keep doing it like you’ve always done and businesses can keep losing money by pissing people off who have to wait when they could have all those seats full. |
Did you ever see that commercial on TV for the Royal Bank of Scotland? It says “Less talk, more action.”
So four groups of people sat around complaining about having to wait. The restaurant still got your money. Try walking out, it sends a stronger message. It’s hard to take someone seriously that only complains and expects the government to take care of a perceived problem and is not willing to do something for themselves.
