I doubt that it was you that we saw as the table was occupied by 3 people (one man and two women). However, while you made the waitress happy... this clearly cost the restaurant money as the table did not turn over and (if we were at the same restaurant), you prevented other patrons from using the table on a busy Saturday night.
