Problem
You are travelling alone, or widowed or divorced, your spouse is off on a shopping or sports event. You just feel like a chat. You don't want to sit alone in a cafe or restaurant watching couples and families while you look unwanted.
They have tried singles tables before, but time to try it again, not necessarily for singles. You could be a couple visiting a city, keen to talk to local people or other visitors.
The scheme has been featured on TV. A local councillor, Norman Stevenson, a regular customer at Carpentier & Co, asked the owner, Harriet Carpentier to join the scheme. A notice about the Chatter Natter table can be put on a table at quiet times. The sign is big has a blue background with the words in white THIS IS A CHATTER & NATTER TABLE.
Great idea. I frequently chat to people at the next table but I am unusual in that respect. Normally, you don't like to interrupt others. They sit reading the menu, trying to look busy and occupied.
It also helps community spirit. A chance for the councillor to meet others and discuss their concerns without pushing himself on them. A chance for the members of the public to talk to the councillor without worrying that he was trying to take a quiet break from his work.
Now there's a solution to satisfy all sorts of people for all sorts of reasons.
I can see why the idea was to display it at non busy times. People might linger over a drink, extend sitting time while chatting, and only order drinks.
On the other hand, often singles occupy tables for two. and couples and threesomes occupy tables for four. Stick a chat sign on the table and people might be more willing to share.
