Who said anything about making a big scene. I didn't say anything about
that type of behavior, nor did the OP (if I remember correctly). If it
were me, I would have simply left the restaurant after twenty minutes.
No scene at all. I agree that life is too short, which is why I would
have never waiting so long for a table at a restaurant that is more than
likely in close proximity to other restaurants that are as good or
better.
