The restaurant can handle “lingerers” by offering the table a concession, like a free dessert next time they come in. A “would you mind”, “ sorry for the inconvenience. here’s something for your trouble if you could help us out” would turn tables. In the other hand, the patrons need to exercise situational awareness. Yes we have all worked hard and want to enjoy our retirement. But that shouldn’t mean we get a license to abandon good manners.
