So here goes.
1. People should be able to decide where to sit, if not then go to another restaurant. The servers are there to serve you, customer first.
2. If the restaurant has a policy of loud noise subbing for music, then we do not go there.
3. A waiter should always place you where you want, not in a noisy area so the waiter can save a few steps.
4. Doubtful that the holdup on eating is a shortage of cooks, generally is that is true, the manager will help out in the kitchen. A kitchen is sized to have cooking areas big enough in relation to the tables in the house.
5. If a person leaves due to any problem with seating, food or timing, then the company accepts the tab, the waiter is not stuck with the tab, never.
Just offering these facts relating to my experience in a classy restaurant where all went well, all the time. bbbbbb

The problem with number 1 is it isn't always fair to the servers. They are there not only to "serve you", but they need to make money. Just because someone wants to sit where they want, a server could be losing money and the other server working her butt off to try to take care of all her tables. Sometimes the restaurant can accommodate a request, but there are times they may not be able to.
Number 5....I don't think ANYONE should be able to walk out and leave their tab. Don't like it there, pay your bill and take the food home.
