A little over a year ago, Bill Putsis was sitting at Durham’s Bar Virgile, saving a seat for a friend. When a man walked over and took the seat, Putsis politely informed him that it wasn’t available. But the man didn’t get up.
“I was like, ‘Excuse me, is this the third grade?’” Putsis says. 
Then he took a closer look at the chair. 
“I’ll be damned, the seat had his name on it,” Putsis says. “He was such a loyal customer they put his name on the seat.”
