Why is a person's description even needed in a restaurant. Number or letter the tables.

My mom is 5" 11' and has been that height since 8th grade. She takes it as an insult if someone mentions her height. She is self-conscious about it because she has heard the comments most of her life. I remember her coming home from work upset because the guys in the plant said something about her height. Many people take comments to heart. I think that this couple has a right to be upset. Now whether it is blown out of proportion, that is an individual call. But obviously it was important to them.
