Table or Booth?

Sometimes there's a combo version ... one side of the table has a booth-like bench, and the other side has chairs.

In those situations, I choose the booth side, because usually the chairs back up into a walkway. So I suppose I'm in the booth camp.

 

I was trying to be delicate!

 

When Spike get child. Spike burn table. Spike now throw food on floor and child gobbles it up. Child would have done it anyway if had table. Cut out middle man.

 

There's a restaurant here that has mini TVs in all the booths. They're usually pretuned to Yankees games, but you can change the channels once you sit down.

I used to take first dates there, so I'd have some entertainment in case the date went bad.

 

I wonder if freqposter would approve of this.

 

Usually when we go out, it's me, my wife and our 18-year-old son. Wife and I sit on one side of the booth and the boy on the other.

Wife will sit on inside, but put her purse in first, further squeezing space on the bench seat.

At a table, she can put her purse beneath her chair or at her feet.

 

Booth. Absolutely booth. Even if I am on my own, which is usually the case. I hate chairs and tables. I have never been in a booth that wobbled. I can spread my fat ass all over that wonderful, cushioned booth. And I can set whatever I am carrying next to me in the booth. I need to buy a booth for home.

 

And then the whole time he's gone, everyone is fidgeting a little because they know they're going to have to shuffle around again in a few minutes to let him back in.

 

If there are only two of us, a booth. I'm left handed so if it's a larger group I care more about finding a spot with no one on my left than the type of seating.

 

Unless your kid says, "Fuck it, I'm crawling my way out under the table."

 

Booths are too unpredictable. Some are made so that you're sitting right up against the table. Others are made so you're sitting seemingly miles away from the table. You just never fucking know until you sit down. Now, booths with the mobile table in the middle are fine. But usually, the table is the safe, predictable, more comfortable play.
