putting my PR to use

Well, I suppose you hope to out-stubborn the guy with greater stubborness, banking on a statistical probability that the other person is less likely to be stubborn than you. You do however, have to take note of your inferior bargaining position, so even someone equal to or slightly less stubborn than yourself, would still have a positional advantage.

Since views are divided about what is right or wrong about tissue paper reservations, I guess since there is no legislation on this issue, the law of the jungle will prevail. Hence people who agree with tissue paper reservations would continue to do so and hope no one removes them; whilst those against tissue paper reservations will continue to get free tissue paper and/or free seats.

Maybe you should just tar pao Save a lot of confrontations. It is not uncommon to see fights happen over tissue paper reservations and usually, it is the person who is already seated and has both hands free, who has the positional advantage in any dispute.

Yeah, what you mention about my position is true. But you might be suprised how many people would like to keep their 'face' and avoid such 'contest' ofstubborness.

As already mentioned by others in this thread, either way also not wrong.

I don't know those who are against reservation have experience in eating at peak hours everyday. You just can't outrun those who come in group with food in your hand without some compromise to safety. So you still LL have to pick a seat to watch and wait. Not much additionatloss to my time anyway.

If it wasn't such peak period with many others waiting for seats, I don't think anyone with any semblance of courtesy/gracefulness to jettison another's space.

And how do you arrive at the fact that the majority in Singapore endorse the idea of reserving seats with tissue paper?

Mmmmm may I ask you back then how DID you arrive at the fact that the majority in Singapore do not endorse the idea of reserving seats with tissue paper?

unlikely, cuz as mentioned, the practice is to reserve first. So, first come-first reserve, first eat , first bunk off table too.

The time spent is still similar mentioned earlier, you either wait before ordering, or with your order in your hand. You might have a longer wait in the latter case as you are unlikely out run those waiting without food in hand.

That is in the point of tissue paper reserve user point of view, and on the condition that s/he come early, where s/he don't need to wait for reserving the table. With less people reserve the tables by tissue paper, there should be more tables readily available, so people just queue for food, then get table or wait a bit for table if really congested, finish and walk off, that should take less waiting time, more tables are seated by patrons rather than tissue paper packs.
Also if everyone follow the same rules like oversea, then there shouldn't be worry about outrun by those without food in hand.

Though in Singapore, it's unlikely this will be happening any time soon......
