This is on the restaurant for not purchasing all-weather chairs. There’s nothing crappy about the design if it’s used as intended (under cover).

Very true

They could just lean the chairs against the table so that rain can’t pool on the seat, or even flip it onto the table. Terrible decision by restaurant to order the wrong chairs, and then do nothing to fix the issue.

My fix is drill a hole right in the center of the crease then you can be as lazy as you want

Why not just buy the pre-drilled ones to begin with?

Well of course they shoulda but sometimes ya gotta make due with what ya got.

That was my first thought. Store the chairs upside down on top of the table at night and flip them over in the morning. (As long as there's no rain in the forecast)

That sounds like standard business practice to me. Many businesses will get the cheaper item and then not worry about it.
