I took the time to count the number of tables at Tygervalley Mugg &amp;amp; Bean, which turned out to be 100+, and…..each table can seat 2 - 4 customers! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And for sure, there is almost at any point in time a huge amount of customers dining out, either just drinking coffee or spending their well earned money enjoying friendship, a quick bite , an office get together or a romantic evening out.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yes there are many different reasons for visiting a coffee shop such as Mugg &amp;amp; Bean or for that matter any other popular restaurant such as the Spur, Saddles, Stones, Dros and the like.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I must have visited many such coffee shops and restaurants during the years and I have really enjoyed those few hours with friends, family and colleagues….but&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;I can similarly recall my frustrations in drawing our waiter’s attention to order that extra side order ….or spending minutes looking, waving and calling for waiters to present our bill!!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Anyone else having experienced those same frustrations?
