The Table Plan

Dear Counter, my friends change seats every time someone goes to the bathroom. By dessert, no one is where they started and the server knows us only by our drinks. Should I intervene?

Dear Planner,

You may intervene once, by announcing that the table is now a small parliament and everyone must remain in their elected seat. Then accept that democracy is messy.

The server already knows you by your drinks. This is the strongest possible foundation for a meal.

Warmly, The Counter
