Ironing the tableclothes?

We had our fancy work lunch on Wednesday, which was lovely. We were there till quite late in the afternoon, and the staff started to get some of the tables ready for dinner while we were still there.

Tto do this, they took off the tablecloth that had been used for lunch, revealing another clean table cloth underneath. They then took out an iron, and ironed the tables. I have never seen anything like it before in my life.

What if someone stained the one on top - surely it would go through to the one underneath ! Why not just have one at a time ?
You would reckon the one underneath would've been pretty wrinkle-free anyway ?
That's the diff between a Posh Place a La Maccas I guess.
I remember a lady at work who said she ironed bed-sheets - does anyone else do that ?

I know that Nanna used to and Dad was quite suprised to discover this task wasn't actually featured on Mum's to-do list...
