Hostess looked at a couple sitting at a table set for seven. We looked at the couple sitting at a table set for seven but didn't recognize them as part of our family. They looked everywhere except back at us.

Figure the odds that someone with the same name as me made reservations at the same time and at the same restaurant and for the same number of people that I did.

The country club did an exceptional job finding us a table and we had a perfectly fine experience so no complaint there. Not feeling quite so good about the people who stole my reservation though - I hope they had a miserable time.

WOW....Making a lot of assumptions here. Can you backup just ONE of them?

List three of the "lot of assumptions" and I will back up one of them.

I have used "Schlobotnick" as the name. . . of course, no one can spell it. . . . which is a made up name.
If you look at some names for people selling golf carts on Facebook, they have made up names. . .

loved the use of Donner for the last name. . .

Nope, things might have not gone well. The party that made the reservation got a seat, let sleeping dogs lie.
