Personally I think that when you want to claim a table, you need to be there with your stuff, you can’t claim a public item with a note.

  I agree, other people may have special plans too.

Take the note off, rip it, throw it in the bin and the entitled problem is solved. They need to get there early like everyone else to guarantee a spot. No excuses.

It seems similar to people claiming chairs with a towel at a pool. If you want a chair or a table, a towel or a table cloth is inadequate. You need people on chairs and at tables unless you have paid for the chairs or tables.

It’s ok it’s only once maybe and for birthday! Sure for couple hours. People why you get disturbed from everything!!

  Mom459320 it would be okay if this was a one off but it seems to be happening a more and more. I have a disabled sister and when we go to the park someone gets there early to secure a table and chairs so we have time to get her ready and she can have a seat. I would never think of leaving a note because I am not the entitled type

Seems pretty selfish to me.
You can’t expect to just put a note on a table to reserve it for the day.

Self entitled! Rude of them……………if they wanted a table that badly, go buy one and take with you.

I think that is a little rude – if you got there first and reserved it and had people sitting there, fair enough, but not just leave a note and expect to hold for as long as you wanted

What a joke. Everyone knows the rules. You have to get there early to secure your spot! The nerve to leave a note and not even show up.

I might try this next time I want a few tables for lunch with my family and friends. I. am sure that my wishes will be respected NOT! What an absolute cheek this person has.

Too bad, if they’re not there then they can’t hold the tables.
There are 4 empty tables for however long that people could have used, been and gone in that time. Seriously, people can be so selfish.

Oh gosh, Atleast get there early and reserve if not too bad. I would just rip the paper off and throw it away, and enjoy the day.

Entitled! They could have at least said what time the party was.

Ridiculous…that’s not how the world works

This isn’t fair unless there are actually people there with the tables. And even then…. three?

If you want a table you get there early and reserve…not leave it for no one else to use for 4 hours

Very rude. Definitely not allowed especially if they are sitting vacant for four or more hours before they arrive. Others may have been out for a breakfast picnic or arriving early to claim them for a party they had planned too. There is not even a time on the note. When we do parties like this we arrive early and hope for the best. They are public tables that don;t take reservations.
