    whereas two people using the table for a social meeting aren’t?

    Why would you meet socially at a restaurant if you’re not going to eat, especially one that’s so busy that it’s hard to find seating?

    You would find somewhere else with more seating that doesn’t serve food if your only goal was to socially interact with each other.

      The reasoning is irrelevant.

      If you want a table so bad, get there earlier or make a reservation. Don’t hurry people along like you own the place, because you don’t.
