LOL at the suggestion that the dad somehow should have known not to take the hostess' word for it.

If you are talking about me, then your reading comprehension is pretty bad.

Owner's policy > Hostess' word.

So what? Yeah, I suppose it makes sense to go beyond the hostess if you're looking for authorization to gold-plate the silverware, but in this case, the the father could reasonably expect that the hostess is as far up the chain as he needs to go. Otherwise, next time you call to make reservations, you'd better ask for the owner because who knows? The person on the phone just possibly, maybe, perhaps, doesn't have the level of executive power to authorize a table for you.
