Gosh, I've always just sat down wherever there's a seat at a table!
I just assumed (oops!) that the good folks already sitting there with empty seats wanted some company. You can meet the most interesting people this way! They seat people together at Hacienda Hills whenever they're crowded, and it's fun.

We also did this outside at the bar at Redsauce during the Italianfest parade. Two people at a table for four = 2 empty seats. Of course I always ask, "May we join you?" and after their initial confusion (Do we know you? Who are these pushy people?) they always say yes. They do it in Europe all the time. Maybe we can just pretend we're all Europeans from now on?
