I ate at a Chinese restaurant in Easton, MD last Friday. We arrived at 8:30 and ate until around 9:15 (they're open until 10). However, after around 8:45 we were the only ones there and it was clear a lot of the wait staff wanted us to leave so they could start closing up and send some of the staff home. We weren't offered refills, boxes, dessert etc. The only time I can think of I was having a beer and I wasn't eagerly offered another one.
