I’ve seen people lingering at busy restaurant bars as well. Maybe a guest had just one drink, and doesn’t want another. So he or she will just sit there nursing a drink for a long time. The bartender asks more than once to freshen the drink, but they decline, even though others are waiting for a seat, hovering around.
