i dont remember why i was at the mall last week

i was with my siblings at SM North last sunday and we ate at Bon Chon. first time i ate there, i really didnt get why people like the place so much. i didnt like the chicken. but my brother said he liked it so a few weeks later, i found myself trying it again. well, i wont say its good but close enough. its not as bad as the first time i tried it.

anyway, im writing this not because of the food but because of the service. we were there around noon so the place was crammed. there werent any seats available so there were some "vultures" roaming around looking for tables with its occupants finishing their meal. i hate being a "vulture". my mother always asks me to do that back when we always ate at food courts. while standing in line, she would tell me to try to snag a seat once a table becomes vacant. so, i would stand beside a table, watching those occupying it finish their food. i know it makes them uncomfortable because ive been at the receiving end several times but what can i do, were an overpopulated city and thats what we get when we dont control our population. comfort and convenience becomes a luxury the more populated we get (but then again, comfort and convenience are creatures of luxury, operating more within the zone of "wants" and not under "needs").

back to bon chon, since we were all hungry, i said since the line is long most likely by the time we get our orders taken, some seats would be vacant. the nice thing i liked about the service is that while we were standing in line, someone from bon chon asked if we have a table already. when we said we dont have one yet, the staff personally looked for a table for us. once she found a table for three, she reserved it. of course, everyone who was standing in line with no tables got the same treatment. there's no guarantee we will get a seat but the effort to give us seats by the time we get our orders taken is much appreciated. i hope other fast food restos adopt this kind of system.
