Inconsiderate? Yes. Oblivious? Probably. Idiots? Definitely! Manager needs to make the hard call and either train staff how best to move the guests out or do the task him/her self.

This time of year such socializing is best served at someone’s home after the meal. I can see the attractiveness of a restaurant as a venue for a group to meet, share a meal and converse in lieu of hosting at home but pretty selfish to camp out at a table when so many are waiting to be seated and when staff need their tips
