Good old fashioned Cambodian customer service (2 words that I am sure do not exist in the Khmer dictionary). Probably the most common of soft drinks on the planet and they don't have any. Problem solved by running next door in 30 seconds. Nope. Instead let the customer walk out the door. And they genuinely seem surprised.
Years back in Olive and Olive in Snooky we went for dinner and being cheap bastards we ordered the Vina Maipo. No have. Next price bracket up. No have. Basically the fuckers didn't stock any cheaper wines because they wanted to make you upgrade to the more expensive ones. Again the dismay when we walked out.
On to another place where we again ordered Vina Maipo (and at 3 bucks a crack less the O and O). No have. FFS. Imagine our surprise when the waiter dashed out to a minimart and returned 3 minutes later with a bottle
It can be done!

I wanted the pork chop. I had one across the street at Olala, with a Coke. Weird thing happened at Olala too. I'm sitting there at a table (outside, like a creep) and a street skank comes up behind me and starts massaging my shoulders. I flinched, she left.

They're normally not bold enough to go around massaging dudes sitting in restaurants. Speaking of which, I was sitting INSIDE Larry's the other day and a dude came in and started pestering customers if they wanted a show shine. Did the staff tell him to fuck off? They did not.
When I finished my lunch and walked outside he was sitting at one of the outside tables.

because normally they offer a shoe shine. This guy was offering a show shine, more specifically targeted to middle-aged male patrons of dubious inclinations.Did the staff tell him to fuck off? They did not.
Did he smile at you on your way out?

I like this b**** Alexandra.
The shoeshine guy stores his shoeshine things under the bench outside. He's one of the many charity cases making the outside rather unpleasant. It's not rare for whole families of homeless people to hang around there waiting for food, water and anything else they need.
Larry is a good man with a big heart but it can be quite awkward to sit next to a homeless person while eating from the most expensive menu on Riverside.

Perhaps I am over reacting. Seems to me that if you find it uncomfortable you feel some guilt about the situation. How dare the homeless interrupt your 'expensive' pleasures. He's just there. The uncomfortable is in the head of the diner.

That's not how I meant it.
If there was a large group of rich folks staring at me and my food while I'm trying to have a quiet moment it would disturb me as well. I personally think that if you're not spending money and you're not with someone who is spending money then you have no business being in a restaurant unless you work there. The space is for rent to paying customers.
If I need to compete with someone that is not a customer for the space, especially the best outdoor seating, why not just go somewhere else?
