No, but (AGAIN) if they don't seat you the minute you walk in,
or--horrors!--give preference to *other*, more attention-deserving
customers who might or might not be ahead of you, there is no need to
immediately phone the Department of Justice's Worldwide Corporate
Swindle Dept., and hope to watch the hearings on C-SPAN...

(All of which umbrellas neat under the "You may be a customer, but you
DON'T personally sh*t ice cream" theory, as previously stated.) :)
