I understand. But, in my opinion, the reason you had to wait was because the restaurant was not managed properly. It is not about customer etiquette.

It is management's responsibility to recognize and correct any hindrances to a diner's total satisfaction. They might consider carefully worded sign.
Such as: "During Busy Times We Ask That You Make Your Table Available To Those Waiting Within 15 Minutes Of Finishing Your Meal" Perhaps have it printed on the bill as well. Maybe not that wording- I'm sure someone clever can come up with less confrontational wording.

I disagree. People should be more considerate and get out.

Here’s what I do - I am always cognizant of people waiting, and will vacate the table very soon after paying bill if people are waiting. If no one is waiting , I may linger a bit longer, but never at the expense of keeping employees from ending their shift near closing time. If they continue to fill my water glass, I will make sure to increase the size of my tip.

Dam, why would anybody want to hang around when done eating? My biggest issue is the server never seems to bring the bill quick enough and I have to waste valuable time waiting to pay for the meal.

So, if the OP 's accounting is accurate, they had to wait an hour past the Saturday night prime dining time because a third of the tables were available, but people sitting at those tables didn't practice proper "etiquette", and hogged the tables. Some of the tables were occupied for more than 2 hours while other customers, who had a reservation, had to wait? And this is not a management failure by the restaurant?

Once the last item is on the table, the server should place a timer on the table and hit the start button. The theme from Jeopardy will play while eating. Last one to put their utensils down pays the bill at the cashier desk. No paying at the table. Too much wasted time.
Anyone still at the table when the timer goes off will be shot with tranquilizer darts and dragged to the alley to sleep it off. Fancy, high dollar, high rent establishments would really profit from this new efficiency plan. Every reservation seated on time. |

But I've got a feeling that this won't sink in. Just gonna guess you are one who lingers for no reason while people are waiting to be seated. |
