Going back to church: Re entering the Amen Economy

If she arrives and finds a "visitor" sitting in her spot, she won't cause a scene.

She will simply stand in the aisle and stare at them with a look of profound, silent disappointment until they feel a spiritual urge to move to the back. Never, under any circumstances, occupy her seat.
