Because otherwise, in a moment three nice tourists from Chicago or whereever will stand there, thinking I have stood them up.

Of course, hardcore Nordic cuisine nerds do not use lemons, as, I think, they've been deemed un-Nordic, but I'll leave them to that, it's not like they have to eat their restaurant food themselves ...
