No way would I leave an unfinished beverage unattended or expect a stupid coaster to save my seat. I don't know about anyone else, but to most people in bars, an empty seat + empty glass = available seat. I doubt anyone's gonna mind the coaster, no matter how cute the saying is.

I spend a lot of time in NYC, and I've seen these things in a ton of bars. They are just regular coasters that ALSO go over your drink. That's it. The hole is for the neck of a beer or straw or olive pick (so you don't have to toss them on the bar). I do agree that the design of these aren't the best in the world, but that really makes no difference. The next time you go grab a smoke or run off to the bathroom, place one on your drink and when you get back, your drink and seat will magically be saved. The thing is very clever. You may want to see one in action before you are so quick to judge. I was born and bred in Philly, so I hate to come down on my hometown, but some of these comments are pretty weak.
