Happens in here every day. They place the cue ball on the foot spot to break off and rack the balls somewhere near the head spot, even though there is no designation on that end as to where to rack the balls, other than the headstring line.
I could see it being a little confusing if we had two spots on the table, but we only have the foot spot. Also, you’d think that they’d get the clue when the hook with the ball rack is on the foot end of the table and they carry it all the way up to the head end of the table to rack and then place it back on the hook at the foot end of the table.
I often don’t even bother telling them or if I do, I do it very discreetly so as not to embarrass them. Just curious, is it common on bar tables in bar rooms to have spots on both ends of the table and require players to break off the foot spot? That’s about the only reason I can think of why they do it, other than chalking it up to pure ignorance.
