Studies in the past (don't ask for cite right now) have shown that the longer customers sit at their table, the bigger tip they leave.
So, a clever waiter will try to "forget" about you after you are satiated. But I hate that - give me my freaking bill without me having to flag you down, as you are running around the restaurant. I hate sitting too long after I've finished my meal.</font>

not to forget because a forgetful waiter makes for angry customers. Angry customers tip accordingly.
