I’m usually not in a hurry, but I just don’t want to sit there and wait.
Is that so wrong ?
Yea, I hear you , especially if the waitresses are busy or the restaurant is short on help. Most restaurants we eat at have the little pay computers at the table where you can pay & leave whenever you want. Sometimes I ask another waitress to get our waitress & that usually works!
