Ugh, yes! Chairs with arms are the enemy. I am very pear-shaped with wide hips and huge thighs, so fitting in chairs can be difficult.
My favorite Korean BBQ restaurant has the most awful chairs that dig painfully into my thighs and hips. Fortunately, they’ve always been willing and able to provide a chair without arms when I ask for one. You would think restaurant owners would figure out that fat people are likely to buy more food…

Does it ever make you not want to go? or more of the opposite?
If a restaurant’s chairs don’t fit the first time I go there, I politely ask the server for a chair without arms. If they provide one without being rude, I’ll stay and eat there. If they don’t have an appropriate chair or they cop an attitude, I leave.
The Korean BBQ place is always willing to accommodate me, they’re very nice about it, and the food is fantastic. So I keep going back.
