Listen, I'm not telling you what to do or any of that. I'm simply telling you that a little communication will make sure your partners can go to their spots sooner. Sure your partners don't have a problem with it, you don't miss something you never had. Can you say that having information that allows you to move to the correct spot sooner isn't a good thing? For me it is all about crew cohesion. I want the crew to operate as smoothly as possible.
I got you now - I think we actually handle this pretty similarly. When you say you're asking twice without going to the huddle, I'm asking and looking for a response as I'm moving toward the table. I'd guess we're not that different in how we handle this.

Sorry for my confusion - I didn't put your the first post with "ask twice w/o going to huddle" and "once to my partners and once to the table" together.

Oh, and I never go into the huddle. Ever. It's not a friendly place.
