at sports restaurants like Iggy's. I'd call them and ask if we could reserve a table to eat a meal and watch the game (the best way to get our wives to come too). They said no, but said I could come and sit in a table whenever I wanted to and save the seat that way. They TOLD me to do that. So I did, and then the manager was angry at me for sitting there holding the table. I had to remind him I had called earlier and he told me to do this.
Just let me make a reservation next time and put a deposit down. I'd be happy to do it.
