But waiter likely had more tables, and after the 2 hours were up, he at least turned them all once. When I read this thread, some of the opinions make me think that the tip should be based on the time you spend there. That'd be fine with me, as I can ring up a big tab in a short time.
The time periods cited were "a few hours" and "all night." Two hours, though still a bit long, makes this a different discussion.
