'Tissue Paper Sit'

As i have mentioned in my blog yesterday that i would dwell on 'something' during lunch with my 2 army buddies @ Raffles Place.

To 'chop' sit (chair) using tissue paper packet is a very common affair @ Shenton, Raffles Place or any other food centre or coffee shop esp during lunch time. I have witnessed this when i lunched with my friends again and put forward for discussion today.

Is it a right thing to do?
Someone (Japanese) has commented that we should stop this inconsiderate behaviour. And one way is for every single civic-minded citizen to pick up every tissue paper packet that he or she sees and get rid of it. Or Eating establishment operators tell their cleaners to dispose of packets during their round. This selfish practise will then be stopped and we will be a more gracious, and courteous society.

Another person has argued that the tissue paper 'system' save time. She said that it would be more inefficient if someone reserved a table while his colleagues went to order food, then later queued for their own food. Wouldn't his colleagues then have to wait for him to finish his meal? This means the table would be occupied for a longer period. Doesn't it make more sense for everyone to order their food at the same time while using a packet of tissue to reserve table?
She said that this system is actually ingenious, convenient and efficient.

As most of the time i have my meals alone, i have to watch for this 'reserve' sign. Luckily, i don't encounter many of these as i usually have different 'lunch' time and away from those 'crowded' food establishment.
What do you think of the 'tissue paper sit'?
