Why must every restaurant, bar, and coffee shop have high-top tables?

Restaurants and bars generally copy one another in all aspects. Furniture fashion, food fashion...
"Gee, which bar do I want to go to tonight to sit at a high-top table and eat fried pickles?"

It is gruesome swill. But you cannot be wrong about this. If you like gruesome swill, you like it. It's therefore good--for you.
Just because it makes redblooded men shudder with revulsion is no reason YOU shouldn't like it.
Oh, Ida know 'bout that. I kinda appreciate the oppurtunity for comic relief that unintended sobriety tests provide.
I see the high tables and chairs and avoid them because anytime I stand for more than 10 mins. both my legs are numb, nerve damage in the spine. I can't do them.
As long as there is an assortment "that matches the demand for them" it's OK. When the designers put too many high tops in and all the regular tables are filled, we turn around and leave as my wife dislikes them out of a style and comfort stance. It's not that we want to leave but We've been designed out of staying. Guess it will be"take out" if the trend continues yet I suspect good business sense will prevail as lost dollars are not recovered quickly and impressions stick. The pendulum swings.

Your answer is probably closest to the truth.
Probably easier/quicker to bus high top tables...….no bending.
Probably easier/quicker for staff to clean under high top tables.
I get that some bars have TV screens 30 feet in the air and few of us are giraffes, but even places with lower TVs or no TVs have gone to these wretched high-top tables. Why are these necessary? Am I a gymnast? Do I need to scale a chair to sit down and then scale it back down to leave? Must everything be a test of one's physical prowess? Must my legs dangle in the air when I sit because many of these high-top chairs either lack support rods or have them at the wrong height (too high or too low)?
Yesterday, my wife and I went to a local coffee shop. Great snickerdoodle latte and chocolate lava cake. Everything is good at this place except for the seating. The owner got all new furniture a couple of weeks ago, and now every table is a high-top. How did this start and how do we make it stop? Do I have to bring a saw to cut a table and chair down to the proper height?
What did regular chairs and tables do to anyone to get so banished by our society?
I hate height.
I assume they believe those that drink snickerdoodle lattes belong in a high chair. The other option would be a play pen.
Snickerdoodles are meant to be pulverized and smoked like crack. While sitting on the ground in an alley.

Yup. And people like them and they tend to take up less space. People also don’t tend to sit far back from them or camp out on them like they do in booths and large 4-top tables.
Funny we asked that at BW3s to the Manager. He said their bar area is all high tables because many people enjoy standing and watching the games so it is easier for them to have their beverage and eats. It is also easier to clean up the area at end of night. It is also easier on the service staff not having to bend over as much or as far when handing out or taking away things. Our entire table agreed. In fact I was standing at the time we asked him ha ha
