Dear Abby: I often accommodate requests to slide over when people need to group two or three seats, but it increasingly bothers me.
Dear Abby: I enjoy going out to eat occasionally and, when I do, I like to sit at the bar and eat while having a drink. Is there a rule of etiquette for changing seats? Lately I’ve been asked to move to accommodate another two or three people.Is there a rule of etiquette for changing seats in a bar setting? I enjoy going out to eat occasionally and, when I do, I like to sit at the bar and eat while having a drink.
It seems lately, more often than not, I’m asked to move down a seat or two to accommodate another two or three people. Depending on my mood, I may or may not do it. Since this happens to me quite frequently, I am declining more and more often. Either way, I think it’s rude to ask a stranger to move just so the other party can have enough seats. By the way, I have moved out of courtesy if I am not eating, but to ask me to move while I’m eating is unacceptable.
