Weird. Coz I think its totally logical and would irritate me if they didn't. Drinks get spilled, food gets dropped occasionally: so clear away cutlery and linen that's not going to get used. And--generally--six people at a table for six tends to be cramped: four people allows you all to spread out, and gives much more room for communal dishes (eg mezze and bread).

No you ******* eijit its 4 years old and has 60k on the clock, do you think a shitty piece of yellow paper and some sweaty bags on seats will fool people into paying the same price you did 4 years ago??
The one thing I really dont understand here is the obsession with sunroofs. A car must have a sunroof, why?

Your comment also implies that if the table is full (i.e. six people on a table set for six), it must be too cramped.........
My theory is that it's a psychological thing - if the table appears to be rather empty, you order more food.....

Ah yes............ but they do it for normal a-la-carte restaurants too (i.e. when the waiter brings you an individual dish, then removes it when you're finished).

This is because they have as much intelligence as a 1980's calculator. They are programmed to do things and no amount of logic / explaining will divert them.

We have people turning up to flog their 4 year old cars, still with bagged seats and the Import sticker on trying to tell me its like new and still worth the same.
