Oh man, the comment section here is a cesspit.
I know, it’s great!
“I literally live here.”
“you’re in my domain”
(to staff) I’ll tip you $100 to string that hag along, keep feeding me coffee, come and “ask” me about operations when they’re in earshot and then tell her I’m the owner and will sit where I damn well want.
If you’re the owner though, giving up your seat to a customer isn’t even a question, it’s a must.
Depends on the owner
Especially if they’re rude to your other customers.
I have people follow me to my car at the grocery store when they notice I’m in a good spot (there are other, less desirable spots available, mind you). I take my sweet time loading my bags make sure nothing will tip over in transit. And during the time I’m loading, sometimes I decide I need something from the adjacent liquor store.
I’ve never understood why people sit and wait for spots when there’s spots available. Drive around. If someone is pulling out, sure, but don’t watch people load their shit up.
I’ve noticed people who are constantly trying to ‘cheat’ their way in life end up falling behind those who just do things the normal way.
Oh you nailed it. Every millionaire worked hard and earned it. None of them just cheat or work the system. There’s so much wisdom in this comment
I don’t know if there are just a bunch of bootlickers out today, or are they all autistic from getting the jab and don’t understand sarcasm.
Can’t wait until they do an IQ test of people who trust vaccines vs those that don’t 😅
Whenever someone is waiting for me to unload my groceries and move, I suddenly have the urge to check my messages and catch up on some blah blah blah. Doesn’t really matter what.
The moment the person moves on, I remember what I was doing. Doesn’t matter if they immediately do a u turn and snag it, that’s not the point.
The point is I’m petty and you can do a lap.
At the Costco by me following a person to their car is the only way to get a spot… The parking lot legitimately fills completely, unless you’re willing to park very far away where there aren’t even cart returns…

So, it doesn’t fill completely…
I don’t think you get the scale of parking lots in Texas, or how far back you’d have to walk to return your cart at that point. I’m not even sure that part of the parking area isn’t technically the next restaurant’s lot instead.
All I read is that you don’t want to walk.
Okay yeah, I’m a bit more awake now. I don’t want to walk, and if you’re packing up your car, I think it’s fair for me to wait patiently for you to finish up to take your spot. You’re already clearly intending to leave, and I don’t mind if you take a minute to set up your GPS or whatever, it’s not like I’m honking at you.
Yeah, not sure why you’ve been absolutely blasted by downvoters. How is someone silently waiting for another to vacate a spot they’ve indicated they will soon be leaving some harsh, aggressive gesture? Somehow, the silent, vague “pressure” that someone is also interested in something they’ve temporarily occupied is distressing. Public bathrooms must be hell for them.
Honestly, your point is way better than mine, and even you’ve received downvotes for it. Like, bathroom lines exist. Sucks if you have shy bladder, but that doesn’t make the person behind you need to pee any less either.
If both parties are reasonable people, there’s nothing wrong with vacating your seat so someone can have it if you’re done with that seat. It depends on how she asked because you’re not entitled to kindness or generosity if you’re a bully or rude. Since he seemed to have mind it, I am guessing either she asked rudely or he perceived rudeness in her ask.
It depends on how she asked
Everyone is saying this, but OP put the exact quote in quotation marks and it is clearly not friendly at all in any situation.
Everyone who is #ProudlyAsshole keeps ignoring and/or skipping over the fact that in these scenarios that are being discussed that we’re talking about publically shared resources that are in short supply, be it a table in a crowded restaurant, or a parking space at a huge complex.
It really is rude to hog a shared resource. Use it, then move on. Quickly.
A restaurant isn’t a public space. It’s privately owned and you are paying to be there.
I think that’s a reasonable cause to call in sick
My sister and I were eating at a popular bagel place (buy at front, find your own table). Finishing up, one of us stood up to put on a jacket, woman from a table at the side immediately comes over and sits down, staking the ‘better’ table. No hello, no may I take your seat, just a Karen sit n grab.
That’s when you sit in her lap and say oh I didn’t see you, I was just chilly and put on my coat - I’ll be here for a few more hours
