Do you use a purse hook in restaurants?

I am currently traveling and still feel the Clipa is much more useful vs Bagnet. But I continue to carry both for any situation. Yes having an extra chair in a restaurant is ideal - but sometimes it is not possible due to limited space and capacity.
Yes, I use a purse hook; but it it’s impractical, I place my bag at the seat back of my chair and perch myself on the edge. I need to sit straight or my back will ache, so this is actually comfortable for me.
I’ve never used one, but it sounds like a good idea. I always keep my bags on a chair next to me, hanging from my chair or on my lap under my napkin, as a last resort (which is a PITA, depending on the bag).
Not too long ago a waiter dropped a whole drink on me and the lucky purse hanging on the back of the chair. Luckily because of bad weather, I took a black zaffiano bag instead of a light colored Hermès Swift one I wanted to bring at first
Which hook do you guys recommend that won’t leave indentations or change the shape of the the handles?

Mostly I keep purse hooks in my wallet or asks for an extra chair to keep my bag. I can never put my bags on the floor!
I don’t put my bags on the floor for the same reason I don’t put shoes on my bed
I like being able to put my bags on my bed, therefore no bags on the floor.
I have these (https://amzn.to/2tdQtdy)
I actually bought the 4 pack and used 3 as stocking stuffers over the holidays!

Even with a bag hook, I’d be nervous to spill or splash any food on it since it isn’t completely under the table. If an extra chair is available, I’ll put my bag there with a coat or scarf covering it 
I have a purse hook and I use it every time; because I don’t like to put my bag(s) on the floor.
In the bathroom stall, if needed. Since only recently, I've started using one per advice from this forum. But I never put my bag on the floor. I've never been to a restaurant where I couldn't put my bag on the back of the chair or in another seat or even on the table itself. Previously, if the bathroom didn't have a hook, I'd try to hang on the door latch, or balance on top of toilet tissue roll, or even keep it on my shoulder and while I hovered and peed. It could be precarious! So now I have a purse hook and it's come in handy in the bathroom. But like I've said, I've never been to a restaurant where I couldn't figure out some non-floor place to put it.
Always have my clips with me because so many restaurants have teeny little tables and are crowded so have no room to place my bag anywhere other than hanging from the table.
