It's not shared. It's his until he's finished with his meal a meal he paid for and is at liberty to consume at whatever pace is most enjoyable to him.
It's shared. He doesn't bring his own table and chairs with him.
You don't bring your own seat on an airplane either. It comes with you purchasing a flight to a destination. Those certainly aren't shared.
Those seats are assigned to you, not one that you obtain yourself.
I mentioned in another comment about how different restaurant venues have it where sometimes you have to get your own seating, and other times the restaurant gets the seating for you. The airline would be the same thing as the restaurant getting the seating for you.
I'm talking about you having to get your seat yourself, not assigned by the restaurant.
The seats are still owned by the restaurant and designated for people who have paid for meals. They don't typically welcome people who are not buying to come sit down. So it's not a "shared resource". You pay for a meal, you get a table until you're finished. If you want to share that table or not is up to you or the rules of the restaurant.
Two people can't sit in the same chair at the same time, so it's a shared resource.
And again, we're not talking about ownership, we're talking about usage, by ALL customers.
You're being intellectually dishonest, and it shows with the quality of your responses.
That's exactly what makes it not shared. Only one person can use it at a time and they are entitled to it for the duration of their meal. Demanding that they rush through their meal so you can have it is hardly sharing.
Intellectually dishonest? How? Just because I don't agree with you doesn't make that true.
No it doesn't, because they both have a need for it and one is finishing their need, and the other one is going to need. It's a transactional event thats happening, and if the person who's using it doesn't need it anymore they can move on and release the resource for the next person to use. And if they don't, then they're being rude and selfish.
Again, you're being intellectually dishonest. I say that because I know you understand the concept of one thing needed to be used by two people so they take turns using the thing and not hogging up the thing when they know another person needs the thing.
That was not being said (again being intellectually dishonest by misrepresenting what was being said). The person was inquiring when they would be done. No demand was being made.
"Hurry up and finish your breakfast, my friend is coming and wants your seat." Is not asking when he'll be done. They're asking him to rush through it. Not rushing through your meal so they can have it faster is not "hogging" the seat. He paid for that meal and is entitled to enjoy it at his own pace.
I'm going to not continue the conversation at this point, as I'm just repeating myself now, especially since you're not being intellectually honest about replying to the points I'm stating directly, and instead you go around them and bring up a different points already discussed and answered.
You can look at the other comments I've made on this subject and get a full understanding of where I'm coming from, if you care, which I suspect you really don't, based on our conversation.
