[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have health problems where blood pools in my legs so I just announce that when they try to seat me at the bar.

If you are being dismissed then I would work through the following script:

"I'm so sorry but I have to ask you to accommodate my disability . . . " and then smile expectantly like you know they will give you a table. If they keep trying either cup your ear and say, "I'm so sorry, could you repeat that?" or just laugh airily and say, "Oh, I wouldn't wish that on you . . . last time I was seated at a bar I fainted!" And finally, make sure you get the name of the person and say, "Just to be clear [Name], you are stating that this establishment cannot accommodate my disability, and that this is your official policy?"[/quote]

DP. Sounds like fun. But who has time or energy for all that drama? "TABLE for one" and if asked to sit at the bar, "No thank you. Table for one." Glare. Done. They don't need to know my blood pools in my legs. or anything else. If they persist, say, "I have a medical issue that makes sitting on barstools difficult. Are you going to seat me or should I take my business elsewhere?" [/quote]

I am not sure causing trouble before they serve you is the best plan.[/quote]
