Last week, Roger Federer was in Horgen, Switzerland and dropped in at exclusive restaurant, L’O, located at the shore of Lake Zurich. He came with 5 people, and they had no reservation. As the tables were either full or empty but reserved, restaurant management sent him away. They didn’t try to fit his party in, and Roger Federer made no scene such as, “Don’t you know who I am?” A couple people asked for autographs, and Roger Federer complied with a smile and left.
