Also, I don't understand how anyone can linger at a table well past the time they have finished their meal and be oblivious to or how have no regard for the loss of business to the restaurant and the imposition to fellow patrons.
What if everyone was so selfish? Then we would be paying much more for dining out at our favorite restaurants.

I agree but in many restaurants the server will go back to the table and ask is there anything else I can get you. If the server does that a couple of times after the bill has been paid people generally get the hint and leave. If they don’t then the server needs to tell them they need the table and unless you order something you need to leave. The server is the best one to do this because they have established a connection with the party by waiting on them.
