Holding a place for one person, fine. Five people is a coach party.

Verdicts are the opinions of people who voted here, based on one side's account. The majority is not always right.
I'd been queuing for about 45 minutes to get into a popular food market stall. When I was fourth from the front, the person ahead of me waved over five friends who'd just arrived and they all joined the queue with her.
I said, 'Sorry, are they joining here? We've all been waiting a while.' She said they were 'together' and one of her friends said I should relax. Other people behind me nodded but nobody else said anything.
She says she was holding their place, which is normal, and that the friends had parked the car while she queued. She says nobody else complained, so I was making a scene.
Deliver your verdict to join the deliberation. Back to the case.
Comment on the dispute, not the people. No names, guesses about who anyone is, or abuse. Jury room rules.

Parking a car doesn't take five people.
Unless it's a really big car.

Nobody else complained because you did it for them. The nodding was support.
'You should relax' said by the person who skipped the queue. Classic.
