The BOOTH List at the Pub

We went to the Rhinelander Cafe & Pub Friday night like we have every Friday for nearly the past 2 years. We were told the wait was 30 minutes, which was a bit long, but we didnt want to go anywhere else so we sat at the bar and drank and waited. Finally we got our table and as the hostess was directing us to it, I saw somebody clearing out a nicely positioned booth, away from all the traffic, etc. So I said, "Oh, could we sit over there?" and pointed at the booth. The hostess informed me that she would have to see who was on the "Booth list" first, and if there were people ahead of us then no we could not sit there.

Let me tell you - there were very few people left in this restaraunt who had been there longer than us!!! I complained a bit, noting how were we supposed to know about the "Booth List" and that we had been here as long as anybody else, why cant we sit where a table is cleared! It was to no avail, so I accepted the moderate table. But I was annoyed the whole time we were there.

So, if you go to the Pub, you better as to get on the Booth List!
