A recent announcement of a restaurant closing sparked some memories and I was wondering if any TUGGERS had similar experiences.
When non-smoking sections were first beginning to come in vogue, my wife and I went into one restaurant that had a sign indicating that they had a non-smoking section available. We asked to be seated there, but were taken to a table with an ash tray on it. When we told the hostess that we wanted non-smoking, she gave us a sneer, picked up the ash tray and moved it to the next table.
At another restaurant which said it had a non-smoking section, we were taken into a side room that was just blue with smoke with cigarettes lit up everywhere. There were three tables against one wall which were non-smoking, that was it. We would have been much better off seated in the main dining room which was more open and had better ventilation.
