Kevin and I ordered our food, and our drink cups, walked over to the table, and began to unload our stuff. We placed a table cloth on the table, set a fake candle in between us, got our plates and forks out, and began to eat, and kind of observe if others were looking at us or giving us dirty looks. We were very nervous about this, it was our first time doing this and we were wondering if we were going to be kicked out, or someone was going to say something to us. We both kind of discussed what we thought was going to happen. We both figured people were going to come up to us, say something to us regarding what we were doing, maybe we weren't allowed to bring silverware in one of these restaurants, we had no idea what was going to happen to us and to our surprise, It wasn't that bad at all. One thing that happened that was kind of humorous to both of us, was that they had somebody out in the dining hall mopping something up, it seemed that somebody spilled something. So the man was mopping the floor, and the whole time we were setting up the table he just stared at us. He stared at us the entire time we set up our table, but he didn't say anything. Until Kevin waved to the man and he got nervous and went back to mopping. Another thing that happened was that we bought large drink cups. But instead of drinking out of the drink cup, we decided to bring our wine glasses to drink our soda out of. We both got up with our wine glasses and got our drink, and immediately one of the workers ran up and started telling us we can't do that. He stated that we cannot use another cup up at the fountain. We asked why and he said that the soda out of the fountain is for the customers. I figured that he did not see us and thought that we just strolled in and tried to steal some soda. So we explained to the man that we have bought meals, and we had large drink cups, we just decided to drink out of something a little more high class then the standard plastic cups they gave us.
