A note on door blocking and instant or quick sales as I mentioned above--some get lucky and it never happens--

If you want to avoid the quick-sell, don't block your door.
Trying to find a pic of the "right" way to do it. But really pretty self explanatory, just have 1 to 3 chairs and tables the customers can "reach". You can still leave out your other tables and chairs for decoration and or tipping purposes. Heck, if you have loads of neighbors, use the whole space for tables so you don't have to clear so often! Just make sure customers are blocked from getting to them.
