I once sat with a lady having coffee and pie for way over an hour. The waitress was great about refilling the coffee, etc. (that was the only woman who could outdrink me in coffee!). When I went to pay my tip on the credit card, it was over twice the cost of the food and she had to get the manager to specially approve the tip charge since it looked suspicious and the cash register wouldn't accept it. I realized we were taking up time when she could have waited on others at our booth so wanted to overcompensate her to make up for others that probably had shortchanged her. Hopefully, it made her day!
