Has any of you experienced this nonsence ?? I do recall that a year or so ago something nearly as outragous, , my two daughters were visiting me here in the Villages. I took them to the CBC for dinner. We were seated two tables from the railing. I asked if we could be moved to the table adjacent to the railing and was told yes, but there would be a $7.00 charge per person for a total of $28.00. The railing table really wasn't that much of an improvement so I declined.

I agree with the good Dr.
