Single Women Put Downs By Restaurants
The next time a hostess at a restaurant tries to seat you next to the kitchen, stand your ground for a better table.
If you have ever been treated like a second class citizen at a restaurant because you are a single woman, being assertive can make the difference between being seated near the door to the kitchen or getting the best table in the house.
The first time I decided to go out for dinner after I became a widow, I choose a restaurant that my late husband and I have visited before. I choose a time before it would become crowded so there were many vacant tables. After the hostess greeted me, she led me to an dark area between the bar and the kitchen. Feeling conspicious because I didn't have a dinner partner, at first I was satisfied with the location. That was, until I realized that because I was alone, I was being treated like something was wrong with me because I was single. It was then I realized that I would have to develop a strategy to make sure that never happened again.
- When entering the dining room, choose the area in which you want to be seated.
- Specify to the hostess that you prefer that dining area.
- If you are led to an area or table that does seem desireable to you, refuse it.
- Be assertive (and not agressive), let the hostess know it is not satisfactory.
- If the hostess hesitates, indicate that you have decided to go elsewhere.
You will find that desirable seating is found very quickly.
Even if you are with another woman or group of women, don't be intimated if you are all given the "single woman" treatment. Be prepared and if necessary, use the same strategy.
