The only one I disagreed with is:
The way I see it, as long as there aren't a lot of other people waiting on tables, if I'm paying for my meal I get to eat it at the pace I want and leave when I'm ready. Especially as I am a good tipper.
Thoughts?
Even at nice places, people don't linger for 3 hours. Do you really think that people sit there for 1.5 times the time it took to have dinner?
The real answer is it depends on the type of place you're in. If the place isn't full, it doesn't matter. If it's full and low end then why would you even want to linger. At a higher end establishment, you can linger as long as you want. You're dining. Of course, not many people sit around a restaurant for 3 hours eating and drinking nothing.
You should be complaining to whoever wrote that article instead of discussing things here.
