Actually, if memory serves me correctly there is a roped-off section with a couple of tables next to the wee window where they sell merchandise - ie shoved in the furthest, darkest corner of the inside bit, hence it's no surprise that I have never seen anyone actually sitting there. There's never any problem getting a seat anyway and DC10 is hardly a classy establishment, I can't imagine it appealing to the sort of person who habitually seeks out 'VIP' treatment.
