Many people no longer come to the squares because they can't get a seat and cannot get a restaurant or bar table without waiting an hour or more. That is business lost, not gained.

I still think the chairs should be handed to people as they come in, no earlier than 4:30, and the square interior should be roped off till then. Otherwise people will bring in their own chairs and hog the space that way.
