Apologies in advance if this has been discussed before.
Like many others on this forum I travel alone on business. I`m curious to know what other members experiences are when dining alone. My travel is all domestic in Australia to both capital cities and regional areas. I often find when being seated I`m directed to a small table in the corner or squashed up against the wall. If there is a view at all, no chance especially if there are tables that seat more than 2 people. Now I realise that restaurants and cafes need to maximise every opportunity to put bums on seats, however I often find I`m being directed to the cheap seats even when the restaurant is all but empty. It seems like I`m treated like a second class citizen because I`m eating alone. I don`t eat in expensive restaurants, even if I did I suspect the result would be the same, or maybe I`m just being precious?
