About 10-15 minutes is my max, and then only if there is a bar to wait in. I would never walk around with one of those flashing electronic gadgets, waiting to be buzzed As for Cheesecake Factory, I always opt for the bar area (either the small tables or the actual bar), where I've never had to wait. Could say I have no patience, as even at a hair salon, if I'm told it will be 5-10 minutes, I say no thanks and look for another.
