Is there a specific term that restaurant employees recognize for those desiring a seat with a wall behind them, access to a secondary exit and view of the entrance? A table where cops and CCW holders would select for its tactical benefits?

Yes. Always ask for the "Bill Hickock Seat". This is well known to all restaurant hostesses in the industry and is commonly requested by both uniformed officers and plainclothes detectives. If you're not a policeman, please ask them not to apply the standard discount.
It’s very well known and restaurant employees are provided ample training on recognizing not only the phrases but hand gestures as well
- this will get you a seat in the corner facing both entrances
✌
- this gets a booth facing the front entrance
- same as above. But rear entrance
- this one just gets you punched in the face

Its actually communicated by winking. 3 winks grab your crotch and smile.
My friend, Lee, after his big asian vacation, would simply prefer and request a table where he can sit with his back to a wall and see the front door. He did not go through the whole spiel about 3 active combat tours stationed out Da Nang and specializing explosives on enemy camps and also including 9 kills with a rifle. No bother bringing his DD-214. He just asked for the table and usually got it.
Yeah, paranoid schizophrenic
You walk in, make an assessment, and say I’ll have that seat.
If they argue you leave.

Precisely that. Some of the "tourist savvy" restaurants will seat you wherever they want to seat you... not where you necessarily want to sit. And, usually, the best tables go to parties of at least 3 or 4 (more $$$ per table/cover). If you're eating solo, you get put behind the serving island or the kitchen door or places not very pleasant. No view, no nothing. You literally have to "bribe" the host/ess to get a good seat, if you can.
The main restaurant inside the Grand Canyon National Park Hotel is like that. All of the tables that have a direct view of the canyon side are tables for four only. No way a single customer will get one of them. They kept trying to put me at the table for two directly up against the serving island.
I did what you suggest, above. I walked out and cancelled all remaining reservations. I then discovered that almost all the restaurants inside the GCNP work that way.
These days, I just go for take out. I don't eat in. Or, I simply don't go.
I sit where I can keep my eyes on the self-proclaimed sheepdogs in the corner because I am more scared of them than criminals.

In Vegas I always get a table where I can see the hookers in good light, so no suprises.
My niece asked me because she just got a job as a Hostess in a huge "high end" restaurant and because we've done SD training together...she asked me. I wasn't sure so I asked here. I knew the unemployed daytime masterbation crowd would chime in and sure nuff... here they come, right on cue. A predictable lot.
It even tells you that you didn't spell jacking off correctly....
I don't know what the big deal is. Burger King let's you sit wherever you want.
Funny you mention them. It's the only place I go to now for Fast food. I allow myself one cheat meal every 6 months. But even for that now I go to the drive-thru.

Maybe she could ask other Hostesses or a Manger?

Had you started out with " the 6.5 creedmore is the best caliber ever " they would have taken you serious [that is the secret sign around here ]My niece asked me because she just got a job as a Hostess in a huge "high end" restaurant and because we've done SD training together...she asked me.

I always sit with my back to the door. I’m the last person anyone will pay attention to, as I casually drop a banana peel……..
Are you using code words? "Hostess"? "high end"?
What about SD? That's not Standard Deviation is it? "high end" deviation of some sort?
Sexual Deviation?
My friend wants to know where he can sign up for those High End Sexual Deviation trainings and if your niece would care to take some remedial courses with him.
Who doesn't? I think he's actually dumbing it down for us normies so we can participate.
I usually just lean in close, make a quick scan of the room and whisper "I'm gecko45.". They know exactly what to do.
Tell her to ask the people taking bong tokes and whip its in the walk in cooler. They will know.
When I was more of a deginerate, the kitchen at any restaurant always had a plug.

Hmmmmmmmm..... Vegas... There are only two places I'd ever think about going in Vegas, but neither are worth the travel expense.
The first *was* the Bellagio Seafood Buffet on the strip. I say *was* because they now have some decent competition from Wynn and a couple of others. It's hard to get in. You have to do things just right to max up on the King Crabs legs and Blue crab meat. I dunno. Since I'm there only to eat and not gamble, that might be a problem.
The second place I thought of going is the "Heart Attack Grill." Just for fun! This is the place that used to be in Chandler, Az but moved to Las Vegas. If I starved myself for maybe 24 hours, I could probably handle a "Quad" with a few fries, etc. I'd probably take out a chili dog, etc. But they'd have to cook the burger to order for me, which I understand they do, actually. No veggies on that bad boy for me. Just meat, chese, chilli.
But neither are worth the expense of traveling to Vegas unless I'm going for other reasons, and I can't think of any at this point. Certainly, I would not for gambling (their primary activity). At some point, I may do the expense of traveling to Europe to do some shopping, but that's a way's off financially, as well.
Well most will know who you are as soon, as they see your tactical wheel borrow. With that you and your supply of magic dust, you should be able to set anywhere?

So, if you have tats and a beard, and are wearing your grey man clothes and have your grey man backpack, and all your cool edc junk stuffed in every pocket, then the hostess should automatically know that your a former navy seal or super tacticool and seat you accordingly.
To answer your question seriously-if my wife and I are out to eat we just sit wherever the bimbo hostess puts us and my wife can automatically guess which seat I will want. I just take the best seat for that particular location and enjoy my date.
Seafood buffet is good at both places. My wife would eat nothing but crab if it was a choice, so I didn't feel bad paying $80 each to only eat 1 plate of crab and move on to prime rib.
It's a pain in the ass, we ended up there on a slow weekend and waited in line for 30 min. Reservations were 3 months out.
Waffle houses are a wonderful place for mover practice, as most are so drunk your leads are almost nothing even wall to wall.
Which is why I only go by myself/order for myself. And at the BK I go to, I usually get to the pick up window in time to see them prepare it. If they're going to mess with me, I'll know about it.
