Costco in Utah, a shopping cart by a cafe table doesn't save a seat
Went to Costco, ordered my hot dog, got my hot dog, put stuff on my hot dog, went to look for a seat. The only table available is one on the outside. It has a shopping cart full of items next to it. I know some people leave their carts out here because it's tough to get them inside the set of tables. Nothing else was on this table, no food items, no coat or anything on the chairs. For some reason I believed someone really thought they could save a table while they waited for their food. About 60 seconds into eating my food I was proven correct. An older man in his late 60's came by:
OM: Did you not see I have my cart there
ME: I did, but that doesn't save a seat
OM: Well I guess that's just some unwritten rule here
ME: Yes, first come first serve
OM: Well, I guess I will just come sit with you
ME: Perfectly fine, I only need one seat, there are three more here
OM: *walks off in a huff*
Edit: Entitled Boomer didn't even have his food yet. I likely would have been gone before he even got it, it doesn't take that long to eat a hot dog.
