Then, one would just need to point out the sign to anyone who insists on saving a seat. I think that would take care of probably 99% of the problem. A similar tactic is used in the fitness centers. Each machine has a little sign on it stating "Do your reps and move on." A little more direct, but it seems to work. It helps to keep people from homesteading a machine in their attempt to sculpt their obese bodies while they're surfing the net on their smart phones between sets.

Unfortunately, when you add the word "please", many will take that as an "if you want to comply" statement. The direct approach will work better with this issue like it does at the fitness centers. IMHO

Sometimes, like a mule, you just have to get their attention.
