SWMBO and I had a really good but way too expensive (IMO) breakfast at a
restaurant in Amherst, MA. I'm more of greasy spoon diner breakfast
kind of
guy but this place was suggested by the owner of the Airbnb we were
staying
at, so we tried it. Anyway, they had some cool wooden and metal
benches. I
didn't get a chance to sit on one, so I can't speak to the comfort.
The seats
seem like they would be fine, but the backs look like they wouldn't be
comfortable for all customers. Have a look...

Of all of the things I do not build, anything you sit on.Â* Seating is
just too touchy to get right.Â* It can look great and might be
something you would not want your worst enemy to sit in.

These benches are cool but "many" restaurants have uncomfortable
chairs for a reason, they don't want you staying too long after you
have eaten.

These might fit the bill just right.

That was my though.
Most of the Mexican restaurants around here have benches with the seat
made of flat plywood with no padding and the back "rest" the same
material at 90 degrees from the seat.Â* Talk about uncomfortable.

Those types of businesses are based om quantity, not quality.
Get em in and out in a hurry.



Eggsactly! Almost anyone can sit on anything for 20-35 minutes but only
if they are already being served. If I have not been served I will tend
to walk out.

I hate waiting at restaurants. I too have walked out, usually letting
someone who works there know why.

I also tend to ask for the check "early". Sometimes at the "How is everything?"
visit when I know we won't be having desert, otherwise I'll ask them to bring
the check at the time we order dessert. I'm polite, usually saying something
like "We have plans for right after dinner. Would you mind getting the check
ready when you have a chance? Thanks!"

As much as I hate waiting to order my food, I hate even more having to wait
for the check after I'm done eating.


Yup! I do the same in the grocery store. I don't tolerate waiting to
PAY. I once wasked away from a full basket because the register lines
had 5~7 people in each, with full baskets. Only 4 of the 10-12 registers
were open and there were 3 or 4 supervisors standing around just
watching. I think they watched me walk out of the store empty handed.
:~) Too many chiefs and not enough indians.
