Seating rules

Last night we had a few at Keegan's. Pretty authentic Irish pub. The drinks are expensive and the music is too loud. On our table Martha noticed a small sign that said "This table is reserved for a minimum of 3 people." The sign was obviously meant to deter people from hogging too many seats, seats that could be utilized by a greater number of patrons.

"But fumble in a greasy till
And add the halfpence to the pence..."

I had a black marker in my pocket and offered it to Martha so that the sign could be doctored. The 3 was quickly changed to an 8 and the sign was put on the table next to us. No sooner had the sign been placed on the table than in the door walked a group of three men. They made their way over to the free table but upon noticing the new seating restrictions made a u-turn and chose a different place to sit.
