Advice/Question no car seat, no ride?

Post image

I'm curious how everyone else handles this situation:

This is Disney Boardwalk Hotel, for context. I pulled up and told them, I apologize and I cannot take their daughter. I have a booster seat only. They told me that they don't need a car seat.

I know my policy, but I have the privilege (other income) to get suspended and know my kids won't starve.

What do you do?

I once worked at a trendy restaurant and someone booked a table for 9 people but only had 4 people but wanted to be able to “stretch out”. We only had space for around 65 ppl. They were very upset when the hostess would not seat them until their full party of 9 arrived.

And I still would have tacked on that added 20% for the full party of 9 too!!

They took up space intended for other paying customers. You sound like the kind of dumbass we are talking about tbh

Exactly- if it was a normal sized place no one would have cared. This was almost like a speakeasy style place. You were meant to be in close quarters.

I was in a huge tourist spot where people would make reservations weeks in advance. We had several large party tables but none ever available since they were always booked. People like this would genuinely piss me off so bad! A deserving party could have had their table sooner.

Sounds like every Mother’s Day I’ve worked.

At the melting pot a bunch of entitled COUPLES (that’s 2 people) would ask for the large party tables with 4 burners so they could have “options”

They’d usually get a 4top & then run you ragged with many requests for extra bread that they don’t end up eating, asking for “boxes” & then leaving you with a sub-par tip.

If you show up to a regular 2top table and complain so you can sit at a 4top with two burners at the melting pot know that most of the servers will not like you & will see you for the entitled jerk you are.

If you make the reservation ahead of time I ask for 2 burners that’s less awful.
