I too think it is not right to save tables and chairs for an extended time. However, I have learned that the people who do this are not necessarily rude and uncaring. We have neighbors who are among the most thoughtful people we have met ... not just to us (because we are "neighbors") but to everyone. However, I was taken aback when they told me they went to the square early to reserve seats for the Rocky and the Rollers concert later that day.
Does this single act make them rude? No, I think they are probably from an environment where this is accepted behavior and not considered rude at all.
