He phrased it to those sitting next to us "Are you with the people saving the chairs?" They answered "no" and he got rid of the "chair savers."
I think the Event Person deserves a promotion. Over 70 posts on this topic, almost all in favour of eliminating seat saving. It doesn't make someone smart to get to a Town Square early, put a sweater on a chair, and go shopping or out to dinner. It just makes them inconsiderate.
