I am not a bar person. We sit at the bar for the first part of a dinner shop because we have to. I find the high bar stool rather uncomfortable. I would just say I would prefer the comfort of the dining room. They have no right to insist you sit at the bar.

I have done my fair share of gym tours/workouts/etc, and have found them some of the WORST for not taking a hard 'no.' After a situation where they were hounding me to sign up and wouldn't stop, I finally said: "I really like the class, but it's just too much cardio for me. If I lose any more weight my doctor will put me back on a feeding plan. :/" I never saw a trainer's face drop so fast.
I remembered that one after that. It gets me out the door within 2 minutes.
Brilliant! :-)@lilmomi wrote:

I'm impressed with this shop "save".......kudos!@atxmarketer wrote:
We've all had those awkward situation on a mystery shop and had to come up with something outlandish... The one I have come up with that I hope to never have to use is "No, I cannot sit at the bar. I'm a recovering alcoholic." This was prompted by a restaurant shop that I completed by myself and "must" sit in the dining room and a very insistent host who didn't understand why I wouldn't want to sit at the bar. Not to be offensive in any way, but I feel like regardless of the situation, if someone doesn't want to sit at the bar, they shouldn't have to, especially when there is a more than 50% empty dining area. But this has gone through my head a time or two in a restaurant and is stacked in the back of my cards for use, if needed. What's your "please don't make me go there" moment?

Mine is a variation on the theme. Some grocery assignments require asking a specific question about a specific product like: "What's the difference between a ribeye steak and a Porterhouse?" After the butcher goes through the whole answer, she asks which I want to buy. Like the $5 reimbursement is going to cover a $20 steak? "Just window-shopping," or, "I was just curious," aren't great answers.
