But I've got a feeling that this won't sink in. Just gonna guess you are one who lingers for no reason while people are waiting to be seated.
You are wrong. I definitely don't linger. But, some people may not know that others are waiting unless the restaurant tells them. The restaurant needs to control the traffic flow, especially when they have reservations. It's common sense and good business practice.
