		<description>I can see your point, Bitter Waitress. And for sure other waiting Keg patrons would have a problem seeing an empty table when they are lined up out the door. There must be a happy medium, though.</description>

		<description>From a service perspective, they may have gotten tired of holding tables for people who never arrive. Our restaurant switched to a no reservation policy after losing to much time and money from customers who can&#039;t be bothered to cancel. : (</description>

		<description>True. And by the time you finally get a table, you DO want to leave relatively quickly! Still, they might get our business more often if we knew we could reserve and get a table.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s all about profits, Sue. They just want to turn the tables over as quickly as possible. By accepting reservations, they might be in the position of having a couple of tables free for 10 minutes at a time. And as long as people keep showing up and waiting, they&#039;ll stick with their no-reservation policy.</description>
