Does anyone actually like sitting at a table? Everyone always seems to want a booth, why not just replace all tables with booths?

The reason they have tables is so that when the booths are taken up people will be forced to sit at the tables, which are generally less comfortable then the booths, so then those people will eat faster and then they can sit more people faster. Its all about how fast the company can make money. So then the faster people eat the faster they make money. That is why there are not that many booths compared to tables.

Best of both worlds. Some like booths, some like tables. Plus, a restauraunt owner can fit a lot more people into a relatively small space if he/she has both booths and tables. Plus large parties can be fit into the space much better with a table.

They have tables so they can seat loud, singing parties of 16 next to me when I'm trying to enjoy my Bloomin' Onion in my booth.

because 1 fat guy taking up a whole booth with his several different meals looks alot worse than 1 fat guy at a table with several different meals, we keep the tables so fatties don't feel so bad. :D

Well, then you'd need infinite walls to put booths against...

No, it's like asking "why do they seats in cars instead of couches with recliners".

Why can't a booth just be an island in the middle of nowhere like tables are? Because they can, that's why!

I wouldn't want to sit in a couch in a car. Plus, a lot of car seats recline anyway.

But booths are still better than tables, so you fail.

It's all a matter of opinion on booths and tables. Arguing which one is better is completely pointless.

Hmm, I did not know that. I thought I knew every trick in the book when it came to restaurants, guess not.
