She makes it back in about 20 minutes after securing a sporty new glass (almost a Villages must buy souvenir).
The people behind us take up 7 seats between the two of them and it's getting crowded. The lady then says to the man across 5 empty saved seats, mind you, "if they are not here in a half an hour, we are leaving, they know I can't stand Rocky and the Rollers".
What is up with that???? It was just wrong on so many levels!
IMHO, the concept of "saving seats" is just wrong. Why should people have to stand while empty seats are available? It should be "first come, first served".
