Outdoor diners in New York City, hoarding tables, drinking and stealing glasses of wine: report


New York restaurant patrons are apparently misbehaving.

After months of just providing takeaway and delivery services, New York City restaurants were able to reopen for alfresco dining in late June. However, according to some restaurant owners and workers, city residents have been a little difficult after spending months in their apartments.

Some New York City restaurants have reported that customers have been stealing wine glasses and hoarding tables (which are limited) for hours on end.

Victor Jung, director of operations for Petaluma in the city, told the media: “On a pleasant weekend, the Upper East Side has become a Mardi Gras, with people going from bar to bar. By the time some of them sit down to eat, they are pretty shattered and socially distant. We have seen people throw their mask on the ground. But above all, they take it out by not giving us tips. I’ve also heard this from other restaurants on the block. ”

One of the main problems that the chef reported to the Post was that people refused to give up their tables. Restaurants still have limited seating, but some customers are reported to stay for extremely long periods of time. This makes it more difficult for restaurants to turn tables, thus reducing overall nighttime income.
