One fella splinters from the group and approaches the young women next to us. "Excuse me, do you mean sitting that table over there?" "No thanks." Cue major disappointment and bewildered looks. Meanwhile, I'm in fits of laughter. LOUD laughter.

I dont think that's entitlement. If I was in a 2, at a table of 4. I would happily move for a larger group. I probably wouldn't have waited for them to ask tbh

I’d have said. Do you want this one? We’ll move to the smaller there’s only the two of us.

Had that myself. Pub lunch where you can't reserve tables. Walked in and there was 1 table free, a 4 seat. The wife and I ordered, and food arrived quickly. Meanwhile, a group of 4 entered looking for a table, a 2 seat had become available. One of their group interrupted us to ask if we'd move tables. I finished my mouthful of the finest steak and ale pie before telling him to foxtrot oscar. The cheek of interrupting someone dining. Wait like everyone else.
