So we're finally out of Australia after 2 years of lockdowns.
Eating at a restaurant by the river at Lucerne, Switzerland, last night, I've noticed a phenomenon where tourists from other places, mostly Americans and Germans, would go straight to an empty table (as the restaurant was pretty full) and then ask the waiting staff if they could have that table and would become narky if the reply was no.
Is this something new? I'm so used to 'please wait to be seated' here.
