[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You were wrong. You shouldn't linger for that long after eating when there is a wait. If you wanted to continue your night, you should have gone to a bar or something and ordered drinks. You were preventing the restaurant and the server from making money on another table, and you were causing the wait times to increase for the other customers. It's very rude.[/quote]

This, and I hope that you tipped the server at least $75 for lost revenue. [/quote]

Nope.  Not if THEY ASKED HER PARTY TO LEAVE.  See the restaurant owners on here who are saying that's verboten?  They should have handled things better.  Maybe she should have scooted out earlier, but the restaurant is in the service industry and it's their business to treat people correctly; it is not OP's business to treat restaurants.

That being said, I still would have tipped 20% on the bill if the service was good otherwise, but I'm not going to pay you extra for handling my sort-of-obliviousness impolitely.  Surely this has happened to this restaurant before; they need to get a better policy together.

I'm amazed by the people on here who are being rude and unkind to OP when she was just perhaps a little bit clueless, whereas the restaurant is supposed to have expertise in dealing with these situations and according to all the commenters so far it should have handled things better by sending them to the bar with freebies or just not saying a word.  Shine on you crazy diamond, DCUM![/quote]
