Putting the check on the table and having the server say, "I will take that when you are ready - but there is no rush." is what I usually hear. If I do want to CONVERSE with my friends at the table (conversate may be a word but...) I will do so for a few minutes. I pay the check, have the last sips of coffee, and we leave.

Why get offended if the server puts the check on the table?
